Raúl García declared the draw is a reward for the work of a team that does not surrender. "We never write-off on a match. Usually, the forwards have more chances to score a goal but it depends on the work of the whole team", he pointed out.

The red and white player, with four goals, is the top scorer of the team this pre-season. For the player from Navarra, competition helps the group to strive. "The more competition, the better. I always try to do my job, the coach knows what I can contribute and I try to do the same every year", he added. 

We’re eager to win another title, which we really want

The second captain admitted he’s anxious to win the Super Cup title. "Another match, at home. Very eager to play with our fans, of winning another title that we really want", he said.

Lastly, the game’s scorer wanted to defend that our team plays very intensely but always with sportsmanship. "The referee is in charge and sets the bar where he sets it. We try to play with intensity, always trying not to be aggressive, cleanly", he concluded.
