Álvaro Bastida, a young Cádiz CF youth team player who is playing his first minutes with the first team, spoke to Cádiz CF TV to take stock of his first minutes fulfilling a dream in LaLiga Santander.
League start. "The team has started well. We've taken points against complicated opponents. This is a difficult category. Day by day we improve and with hard work everything will end up coming for everyone".
Opportunities from the coaching staff. "I have to thank the coaching staff for the opportunities they've given me, I'm getting minutes this season and I hope they give me many more. Thanks to Cervera I'm here, thanks to the coaching staff. The coach's words about me are good for my self-esteem and I'm very happy with him".
Arrival in the dressing room. "Well, sometimes someone gives me a bit of a hard time but it's normal because I'm the smallest in the team, but they've welcomed me very well. They are behaving very well with me. Everyone has welcomed me well, although the one who welcomed me best at the beginning was Negredo, but it's true that everyone has welcomed me well".
Happiness in the environment. "My family doesn't believe it. When I played in Vigo my mother called me crying. It's a dream. My family and I have always fought for it, I'm achieving it little by little and my family is very happy".
Advice to the young players. "Paying attention to the bosses, to the coaching staff they have, always. You have to work with humility and always look forward. My family and friends are part of the constant support I receive".
The objectives, more than clear. "The most important thing is for Cádiz to stay in the top flight, and then to improve individually with this great team and the coaching staff I have".
