Many of CD Lugo's offensive options go through Cristian Herrera's boots. The striker is the team's top scorer with eight goals and his competition seems essential in the remainder of the season to achieve the goal of salvation. Questioned by the sensations in this atypical return to work, the Gran Canaria pointed out that “The return evaluation is very good. We have all taken care of ourselves during the confinement and thanks to that it is being less hard than we expected.” Still, he recognized that “It will cost a little, it has been a strange situation”, and stated that “What costs the most is running. At home we couldn't do it and now it costs us a little, but it's normal.” However, he countered that “the contact with the ball is not lost, it is necessary to train it but the sensations are good”.
One of the surprises on the way back to work was seeing several players, among them Herrera himself, with platinum blonde hair, something that the forward explained with laughter saying that “It was a bet that I had with some friends and that I took advantage of to make during the confinement, that you don't go out into the street”, something copied a posteriori by Hugo Rama and Cheek. Finally, Herrera stressed that “Despite not being able to see each other, I find the whole team in good spirits. All this has been a new thing but the important thing is that we are all well, also the families. Now we have to enjoy soccer again.”
