Dani Ojeda, Ponferradina player, stopped by the El Toralín press room this Wednesday to analyze the team’s situation after the victory achieved at El Molinón (2-3) last day, a match in which the berciano team once again demonstrated that “it competes until the end and we don’t give anything up for lost”, in the words of the Canarian player. “When they tied us, we all took the point for granted, but as a result of his second goal is when the team feels better and knows how to react against a great rival like Sporting to get the victory”.
In Ojeda’s opinion, the many goals that Deportivo have achieved in the final stretches of matches this season is no coincidence: “Luck must be sought and they are situations in which the team shows that it wants to win and maintain that position that it is costing us so much to achieve”.
Looking ahead to the next match, in which Ponferradina visits the field of bottom side Alcorcón, Dani Ojeda’s former team, the Canarian midfielder warns that the potters “They are going to fight until the last minute and until it is a mathematician they are not going to lower their arms. We already saw their last game in Fuenlabrada. It is a cheat game and we must give it as much or more importance than Sporting. We have to forget about qualifying because I think they have fewer points than they deserve.
That yes, the canary rules out starting to talk about key games for the future: “It’s not an end, is one more match that we want to win because we all approach it that way. The work that the team is doing is enormous and I don’t think we should add pressure, because we are competing well both at home and away and we have to continue like this”.
Regarding chances of playing the promotion playoff to First DivisionDani Ojeda is clear that “we have to go game by game. Now, in this category what is done at home is very important and if we become strong in El Toralín we will have a lot of wins. There are many days left and we have to go together hand in hand with the fans because what we are experiencing is very beautiful”.
