Kirian Rodríguez, midfielder for UD Las Palmas, has expressed personal optimism, stating he is in an excellent moment after overcoming physical discomfort. According to his statements, morning pains have disappeared, allowing him to complete a kind of personal “pre-season” to face the decisive final stretch of the competition.
“"Now I am at the point where I have almost, practically, finished my pre-season to start this final stretch, which was where I wanted to be at 100 percent."
Given the team's current situation, which is outside the playoff positions, Rodríguez has conveyed a message of calm. He recalled the inherent difficulty of the Segunda División and the importance of maintaining emotional stability. He insisted that the squad fully trusts coach Luis García's strategy and has asked the fans to support the project.
“"What we need most is calmness, to remain stable, not to go crazy despite the results."
The player has called for unity from all club sectors to achieve the promotion goal. He emphasized the need to pull in the same direction, regardless of individual preferences for playing style. Regarding the recent defeat in Málaga, the midfielder was clear in stating that “mistakes are penalized and accuracy is key in Segunda División”.
“"It is preferable that we all get on board and, regardless of whether we like one idea more or less, we try to row together."
Rodríguez believes that concentration, especially in set pieces and individual duels, are crucial aspects to improve. For him, being outside the promotion zone represents “an extra motivation” for the team. He downplayed the importance of referee decisions and the negative away streak, focusing on the team's ability to beat any opponent in the remaining matches and rely on themselves to achieve the objective.
