"Well, in the end, the coach is the one who makes the decision and chooses the players. It is clear that we would like it, and personally, I would have loved it for the boy, just like other teammates. The team is working very well and playing very good matches. I would have liked it, but it's not my decision, I encourage him to keep working, and I'm sure his moment will come, just like for other teammates."

Team and coaching staff’s work

"We do not stray from the path nor the objective we have. We are satisfied, but we are all aware that if we stop competing and working as we are doing day by day, we would make a serious mistake. This is a long-distance race, and we know perfectly well what our goal is. We are not going to deviate or confuse ourselves because it would be a significant mistake. We must let others be the ones who make mistakes. We have experience and know that the journey is extensive. Our purpose is to continue adding points, achieve the three points in the next match, which will be very demanding against a great team like Mallorca, with quality players and a highly experienced coach. It will be a very complicated match, and if we do not perform at our level, we will have a hard time. Our immediate goal is the three points in the next game. We do not think about anything else. We cannot get distracted or make mistakes because football is a sport of streaks: some teams enjoy the good ones, not everyone, and the bad ones end up affecting almost everyone, except the big ones. That's why we must continue working with the same enthusiasm and ambition that the guys are showing. It must be clear that this is the First Division, where no one gives anything, and each match costs a lot."

"We have practically all players available. We recovered Nyom, while Neyou is dealing with some muscle problems, and we will see if we can ultimately count on him. The rest of the group is fit to play. As I mentioned before, Mallorca is a team with great individualities, a very complete squad, and players with a lot of experience. In addition, they have a coach with a broad career, capable of getting the most out of his teams. I know him well because we have faced each other for many seasons. Perhaps they do not have the points they deserve, but they still are a great team. On Sunday, they will force us to perform at a very high level if we want to get a good result, I have no doubt about that. At this moment, the standings do not reflect reality. We experienced it ourselves last weekend against Girona, which is not in a good position either, but has players of enormous quality and potential. I am convinced that as the season progresses, all these teams that are now with fewer points than they should will end up adding up and getting out of their current situation."

"Yes, of course. We are very pleased with his performance because he is scoring goals and helping the team a lot. He himself knows that he can still reach an even higher level. His contribution is not only limited to scoring goals; he is also working a lot on other aspects of the game. He is a very important player, and we must not forget that he is the historical top scorer of Getafe, something that is not achieved by chance and has a huge merit. He is eager to keep improving, working very well every day, and that shows. We are very happy with his attitude, and his teammates are too. Hopefully, he continues with this progression he has been showing in recent weeks, not only for the goals he scores but for all the effort he puts on the field. I am convinced that he will reach his best version and will continue to be a key player for us."

4-4-2 system

"As I have said many times, the formation is not the most important thing. What is truly relevant is that the team feels comfortable on the field. When the ball starts rolling, the player completely forgets about the tactical scheme and focuses on interpreting what happens in the game, knowing how to act with and without the ball. The formation can change not only before the match starts but also during the course of the same. Sometimes, we modify it because we believe that's how we can harm the opponent more or be more consistent according to the circumstances of the match."
