García Pimienta addressed the media ahead of the Real Madrid match at the Ciudad Deportiva. The yellow coach emphasized that the team "must play with personality and compete in the match. Harming Real Madrid is very difficult; we have competed in every game and have been able to beat Atlético and almost Barcelona." He added, "We have to continue in that line; I would like the team to always stay in the game, regardless of the score."
Here are some of his statements:
"It will be a very nice match with the team and fans coming together. People deserve to enjoy these kinds of matches. The stadium will be full; it will be a celebration. Surely they will cheer us on a lot, and hopefully, we can offer them the victory."
"If nothing unusual happens, Lemos will start doing things with the team next week. He is making an effort because he is working a lot. Sory doesn't play more because I am trusting other players at the moment; he brings different things and is ready to play at any time."
"I cherish everything from my time here; we built something very important in the first year, achieved promotion, and now we are in an unbeatable situation. The team is showing that it has more than enough quality to play in La Liga. Achieving salvation would be something incredible."
"It's a matter of personality; Real Madrid may take the ball from us, score three times, but whatever happens, we have to compete in the match."
