We are in a historic club and everything that is to add some situation that can last over the years we would like it, as it is important to everyone. We are going to fight it, without losing sight of what we came and fought for from day one, which is promotion, it has already been achieved ”.

But the player is the one injured, no longer for now, but also for the beginning of next year. It is what there is and we cannot give it more lapses ”, he lamented.
