Iván Calero is definitely back. On Monday against Tenerife he experienced his second baptism as a blue and white. He returned to the team as a starter and played for the first time as a Blue and White in a Rosaleda with an audience. “These are sensations that I will remember for a long time,” he acknowledged this afternoon at a press conference.
Return to ownership 11 months later: “I am very happy to be able to return. Almost a year has passed. It is a time that a player does not want to be out. Going back and doing it with La Rosaleda with the public, which was my first time, these are sensations that I will remember for a long time, they are very beautiful. In the end it is a very beautiful moment, I had no notion that it had been so many days. Practically a year, very happy to be able to return and help from within. I was unlucky, it has been a long time, a lot of things, but the best thing was to come back feeling good. “
Feelings when stepping on the grass: “At the beginning when you know that you are in the eleven you get that nervousness. Here again, again I have to jump into the ring, give my best version and that is what we work for, to help and add. It was fantastic news. Then things happen, it happened in a way that I felt comfortable, we competed well and it was a difficult game in which we managed to get three points. “
Support from the fans: “I encourage you to come and enjoy, to continue competing, to come to suffer, because sometimes it is your turn. Let them come to cheer, to give their voice. We are very comfortable. Let them really cheer up because it is very positive. The other day it was very noticeable. It makes the opponent small in some way. The team gives that extra. At home we are strong. Backed by the fans, who take us on the fly. On Monday, in the final minutes of the game, Tenerife squeezed us and they squeezed. That is lived and appreciated, they add ”.
This Wednesday he worked at a slower pace: “I’m fine, it’s just a hit.”
Víctor Gómez returns to Las Palmas: “In the end it is the best for the club. When you have a player who competes, the one who competes less has to push. The player himself has to press because he knows that of course he is competing. It’s the best there can be in the club ”.
Messages after his return: “I received a lot of positive messages, obviously a guy who hasn’t played for 11 months there are always doubts. Even in yourself there is a moment that you can doubt. You realize that the only one who knew how I was doing was me. Not everyone would have guessed it had come that way. “
Chavarría: “In the end it is a long time away, a knee injury can have relapses or other issues, muscular … Each one tries to give the best of himself. One can not tell him anything either. He has worked like a beast these months.”
Match against Las Palmas: “Las Palmas have very decisive players, they have players who can turn the game around at any time. They are competing in all fields. Even if they come after losing, they are going to make things difficult for us. “
Bad results away from home: “The team is competing at home, getting stronger, it is what gives you to be in a calm position. Away from home it seems that we are having another version. We can improve, it will improve, it is a matter of time before we win out. Obviously we can do more. The team works every week to get the victory ”.
