The coach of Real Oviedo, Julián Calero, appeared in the press room after the blue team's victory against Real Sporting de Gijón in the Asturian derby.
"I felt a lot of joy, but not for myself. I belong to a group, I couldn't be happy just for myself. I was happy for the players, for the club, for the fans. We had gone three matches here without winning or scoring, which was strange considering what we did on the field. This has been a joy for everyone; you feel like you owe these people something, and we wanted to repay them. I was very careful about the level of excitement beforehand so we wouldn't make mistakes. They enjoyed a very good football match, and that's why I'm leaving happy," the blue coach explained first.
"I don't know if the derby met expectations, but it came close. You have to be careful with these atmospheres because they can intimidate the players, and we talked about it. We're here for matches like this. It was a fantastic atmosphere, and I'm very happy for everyone. This is what important teams do; without that connection with the people, it's very difficult to move forward. We're taking it step by step. The way to ask people to support us is by playing matches like this," he added.
Regarding Enzo and the match with the goal scored by the youth player, Julián Calero expressed, "I said the other day that it doesn't matter where you're born to live and feel a derby; for that, it doesn't matter. Obviously, if you're from here, you have the roots, and Enzo has them. He gave us some fantastic minutes, he's earning more, and I have to start playing him more; the kid is delivering. I demand a lot from him every day, and I'm very happy for him. I focus more on the overall than the individual."
"I'm very sad and upset about Chris Ramos' injury; that goal came at a cost for us. In life, you have to pay tolls, and we'll move forward. We need to stay calm and wait for the tests. It's something, but let's hope it's as minor as possible. We need to stay calm. Everyone has gotten injured, and all in the same position, so we need to keep calm. If I don't have forwards, I'll put midfielders, and if we don't have those, we'll put defenders. The important thing is to have 11. Football is about problems and solutions. In Sabadell, I admitted that I was the first to make a mistake, and today my players got it right; they were fantastic. There was no lack of concentration at any moment, the connection with the stadium was tremendous, and we deservedly won," he concluded.
