The non-negotiable character of UD Las Palmas and the return of Kirian

After the draw (1-1) that UD Las Palmas signed in a battled match against SD Huesca, the yellow coach, Luis García appeared before the media with a tone of pragmatism and recognition of the efforts of its staff. The coach valued the point scored in a traditionally elusive field, highlighting the “competition” and “style” that his team never negotiated.

Satisfaction. García analyzed both sides of the game, admitting the initial difficulties to decipher the local approach: «In the first half it was difficult for us to identify that pressure, but each team was in its role. “They compete very well and are very clear about their moments of generating danger.”

Despite the goal conceded before the break, the coach was “satisfied because the team has left everything within its style«. UD's ability to react in the second half, which culminated in Lukovic's equalizer, underlines the competitive maturity that García has instilled.

The coach emphasized the context of the category, known for its toughness and balance: «I give a lot of value to the point, it is a difficult field and people pushed their team a lot. It is clear that in this category it is very difficult to score points away from home and what the boys do has a lot of merit. This tie consolidates Las Palmas' unbeaten away status, a feat that, at this stage of the competition, few can achieve.

The Return of Kirian. Finally, Luis García dedicated some special words to Kirian Rodríguez, who returned to the starting lineup after a long absence. The coach celebrated the evolution of the Tenerife player, a key piece in the creation of the island game: «I am very happy for Kirian, he has taken another step by entering the eleven. “We have him closer and more integrated, I am very happy for him and his family.”

The coach thus celebrates not only sporting performance, but also full reincorporation of an essential player that adds quality and personality to the midfield of a UD Las Palmas that continues in the direct fight for the long-awaited promotion.
