Diego Martínez spoke after the match at the Benito Villamarín Stadium. "We need to pick up points, and we need to win. Just when we were at our best, an incident changed everything. The team’s attitude was magnificent—I believe in this team, and I am convinced that we will get the points we need."
Here are some of his key statements:
"We have to keep going, stay mentally strong. We have a very important match on Friday, and the entire island has to come together to help us win it."
"Our focus is on the next match. That’s where our work is. I believe we deserved much more today. Friday’s match is worth more than just three points—it’s against a direct rival. We have the ability and time to win games."
"Until the red card, we saw a very strong and competitive team. We were solid defensively, but obviously, we need to win at all costs."
"Essugo slipped, and it feels like every detail is going against us. Clearly, it was a completely unintentional action."
