The recent defeat of UD Las Palmas against Andorra has caused a significant impact within the team. After the match, several team members, including key players and the coaching staff, expressed a clear 'mea culpa,' recognizing the deficient performance and the urgency for a change in dynamics.
“"The image was horrendous."
The general sentiment has been one of apology to the fans, with a team spokesperson stating that the image displayed “is not that of Unión Deportiva Las Palmas.” Another squad member was more emphatic, describing the attitude as “bad” and the image as “horrendous,” emphasizing the need to “apologize to the fans.”
The second half of the match has been identified as the negative turning point. A team spokesperson lamented that “a very bad second half condemned us to a painful defeat,” adding that “we were not ourselves at any point.” The coach agreed that it was “a bad second half that condemned us” to lose the game.
“"I take full responsibility for the defeat."
The team's technical manager has taken full responsibility for the setback, absolving the players. He firmly stated: “I take full responsibility for the defeat, and the players have absolutely nothing to do with this.” Despite the hard blow, the message is one of resilience, assuring that the team will “swallow the poison of this defeat” but will not deviate “a single centimeter” from their path towards the objective.
Despite the harsh internal criticism, the forward-looking message is one of perseverance. A team spokesperson insisted that, after “bowing their heads,” the team will return to training with the determination to change the dynamic. He declared that “we will continue fighting for promotion until the end,” making it clear that the main goal remains promotion.
