Iza Carcelén was in charge of speaking to the media this Wednesday from the press room of the Ciudad Deportiva. "The team is upset about the match the other day, but we have a very short week to face another match. This does not stop. It's a direct rival, this has just started and the team has to keep working to improve and win our first home game."
Identity. "I think the team has been the same as always, where we defend well, where we try to take advantage of our chances, but it is true that it is costing us a lot. The rivals are getting to know us, they know how to press us, how to attack us and this can be solved by winning games, which is the only way. The team will continue to play the same way because it is the only way to win, that's how we achieved salvation last year."
Analysis of the match against Espanyol. "The 1-0 killed us emotionally because the team was playing a good first half. They had chances from distance, we had approaches in side crosses, but we were unlucky not to be able to score. With that goal and the end of the first half, the team went to the locker room in bad shape. In the second half we played more with our soul to try to tie or come back than anything else, and with the second goal we had the game we saw."
This year is different from last year. "Last year is history, it has nothing to do with last year. This year is totally different. Soccer is back to what it used to be, there are fans, there are many factors that influence and we have to try to improve and achieve the objective. Last year we played at the empty Di Stéfano stadium against Madrid and this year at the Bernabéu with their fans. Everything is different and we have to adapt quickly to all that."
