García Pimienta: “Playing like this, Jonathan Viera is a scandal”

With a bittersweet sensation. So she faced García Pimienta, coach of the Las Palmas Sports Unionthe press conference after the 1-1 against Ibiza. “Since we couldn’t win, the draw is important. I’m happy with the attitude of my players”justified.

“Playing like this, it’s a scandal”Said Jonathan Viera, scorer of the Las Palmas goal, lighthouse, compass and helmsman of the Gran Canaria team. He also highlighted the role of Fabio and Rober, who entered the second part. With the playoffs further away after Oviedo’s victory, despair comes to UD. But the coach does not give up:

These were his reflections after the game:

Match rating:

“Ibiza played us quite well, especially in the first half. We knew that they were a team that could put us in a lot of trouble. They created many chances for us with long ball movements. When we managed to settle down, Jony’s goal came (Viera) The second half was more ours, and two clear chances came from Kirian and Lemos. I have to congratulate Ibiza, a team that went to win the game at all times. Since we couldn’t win, the draw is important. I’m happy with the attitude of my footballers, who tried until the end. It was not possible”.

Two draws in the two games away from Gran Canaria:

“Last week we did very well in the leader’s field. We were even able to overcome the goal that was scored in the first few minutes. And in the second half we were even able to make it 1-3. Against a team like Eibar, you can What happened to us when they equalized. And today we faced a very tough opponent. I’m happy with the attitude of the players. We didn’t lose face when they equalized, and we kept attacking and creating chances. We’re still on a good run (six games without lose). Now we have to rest and think only about Málaga”.

Rage for the conceded goal and missed chances:

“We knew that Ibiza is a very powerful team from set pieces. In fact, I know Goldar a lot from previous teams. The corner from which they took the goal was avoidable. Others defended them very well, but we missed the goal. The marks Goldar, who is a specialist, are very complicated. We defended very well, except on goal. As for missed chances, perhaps Alberto (Moleiro)’s on the post was more complicated. But those of Kirian and Lemos seemed very clear from the band. It is also true that Germán had two very good interventions. We continue working to improve”.

Oviedo, sixth, is already five points away:

“We have five games left, but we must only think about Málaga. When there are 1-2 games left we will see if it is possible to reach the playoffs. In all the games that come we have to go out and win. There is a lot left, 15 points at stake. Lots of things can happen”.

The role of Jonathan Viera and the changes:

“Sadiku had a card and they were pushing hard. Rafa was training very well, and he deserved it. Fabio came out to give us more order and control. Anything could happen before he came in, but it wasn’t what we wanted. It was a very good because it also gave Viera more freedom, playing like that is a scandal. Rober had a great attitude, he tried to face up, get between the lines…”

Conjures after the goal:

“This team is a family. You have to watch them train (the club refuses to allow the press access to the Ciudad Deportiva). Even the footballers on the bench have to see how they suffer, how they experience matches. The most important thing is the human team there”.
