Tenerife says goodbye to the year with a risky visit: La Romareda. It is the game prior to the derby and the last one before entering the entity’s Centennial. Despite the doubts due to the numerous casualties, Luis Miguel Ramis hopes to win. “Finishing the first round with 38 points would be amazing,” he acknowledged in the press room.
It is that to absences due to injury of Larrea, Muñoz and Carlos Ruiz, join those of the homegrown players Ethyan (sanctioned) and Thierno and David Rodríguez, who tested positive for COVID. As they usually train with the first team, before any symptoms in a professional player, they will proceed not to summon him. “We must protect ourselves as much as possible,” said the technician.
Ramis knows that Zaragoza have not won at home with excessive clarity, “but they have always created difficulties for their rivals. Romareda is a field that pushes a lot and forces you to have good matches. They have a high-quality team that submits you with the ball. We will try to create problems for them with possession and thus try to minimize their potential, “he analyzed.
More than ever, the coach warned that we will have to be focused before the mini-vacations. “We all really want to see our families, but first the professional feeling we have must prevail. I see the team centered; but things have to be discussed. We are not going to Zaragoza to see what happens, “he warned.
The idea is to finish the first lap by prolonging the good feelings to continue in the leading positions. “We work to position the team as high as possible. I don’t know if it’s fair or not, I don’t care. From the beginning we have remained in the playoffs positions and that means that we have done things well “, highlighted the Tarragona. “You have to keep calm, your feet on the ground and this is very long,” he completed.
Finally, he also spoke about his participation in the solidarity match between the Legends between Tenerife and Real Madrid. “I’m whole and I can play more than 25 minutes,” he joked. “It was great. A very nice afternoon for all of us to meet again with people with whom we shared a dressing room. Grateful for the effort of Madrid and Tenerife to make it possible. Everything I say about the reaction and response of the people is little, “he said.
