Real Oviedo winger Marco Sangalli today appeared in the Press Room at El Requexón.
What's your analysis of the Las Palmas match?
- We're obviously happy, but this isn't letting up. We have a vitally important match in Zaragoza on Sunday. We are focusing on it now, it could move us closer to 50 points.
Having gone 2-0 up, how did the Las Palmas goal affect you? Had you talked about what to do in the event of conceding?
- We had the match under control. We created more in the second half, but it's true that the goal reminded us of the Mirandés match. We managed it well and could have sealed the win with the chances Rodri and I had.
Several wingers are back available, with the returns of Bárcenas from suspension and Coris and Berjón from injury. How do you feel about it? Could having everyone available make a difference in this final sprint?
- It's vitally important. With so many matches in quick succession, it's important for the team to get players back.
There have been 8 matches in a month now. What has been harder, the mental strain, or the physical strain of the past few weeks?
- It's a new experience. It's a lot of matches, a rollercoaster of emotions, and we have to be focused on the three remaining matches and getting through this as soon as possible. We have to make the fans happy.
You are one of the six players to have featured in all of the matches. How do you feel physically? Does getting a goal help you to deal with the accumulated minutes, personally?*
- I've been lucky enough to participate in all of the matches. I am happy and I will try to help the team as much as I can.
- Do you look at the match schedules, your own and those of your rivals, even if it's just a glance?*
- There are some people who prefer to look at it and others who don't. I like doing the maths, doing mental calculations, since doing so doesn't affect me personally. The most important thing is what Real Oviedo do. You are competing with other teams though, and their results are important.
Looking at the form in recent matches and the numbers, isn't it strange that everyone is suffering so much to secure survival?
- It's an even league and all of the matches are difficult. It's all very tight this year, very competitive, but we hope to achieve our objective.
