Pere Pons played a great game on Friday against Sevilla at Mendizorroza. He only lacked to hit in front of the goal. He is a player with arrival, who easily finds opportunities coming from the second row but who does not quite hit the opposing goals. “I think we played a great game but we lacked more success. We have to take advantage of our opportunities if we want to add and achieve the goal of salvation. The public was ten and I think the team also gave the stature”, he assured.
Pons is gaining prominence within the team and it will be necessary to see if he continues to start on Sunday afternoon in San Sebastián. “We showed that we can face the greats and have options to win. The goalless draw the other day was not enough and it was against a great rival, the second-placed team. The path is marked, now we have to stay together and go for it all “added the Catalan player.
