“We go with the ambition and the illusion to fight for the playoff”

In the absence of six days, Ponferradina's victory against Lugo gives the Bercianos the certainty of permanence and the ability to fight without further distractions to reach the playoff spots. One of the protagonists of Saturday's game, Paris Adot, acknowledged this Monday that “we no longer have anything to lose. The first objective has been achieved and from here, without going crazy, we have to continue the same and whatever it has to be. We are going with the greatest enthusiasm in the world and with all the ambition to win as much as possible and fight for the playoffs “.

The Navarrese side insisted on the maxim of not looking beyond the next game and refused to analyze a calendar in which Deportiva will face three teams fully placed in the relegation places and two (Espanyol and Mallorca) that can already be promoted to his duels with the Bercianos: “If there is someone who says that there is an easy game in the Second Division, bring it to me and tell me about it. There may be some details in the calendar, but you are not going to beat anyone easily. Deadline is worth nothing, from the results of each week is when you can go thinking about other things “.

In this sense, the squad against Deportiva already has their five senses on their visit to Gran Canaria on Sunday, a stadium where the Blue and Whites do not know victory: “Let's see if we remove that data and get the first one. Las Palmas is a good team that plays well and scores a lot of goals. As I said before, it will be a difficult game, like everyone else. in the category, but we are very excited about what remains and we have to go for it all “.

A goal of tenacity

Paris Adot analyzed his goal against Lugo, Navarre's second this season, remembering that “it was a good pass from Yuri in which at first I see that it is going down and the normal thing is that the defenders cut it, but due to inertia or whatever, I kept running and when I saw that the ball was going backwards I pressed to arrive before the goalkeeper and the defender . I accompanied the play and I was lucky that it fell there. “
