This morning, Real Oviedo player Santiago Colombatto held a press conference to analyze the team's progress in this first phase of the competition.
The Argentine began the conference with a reflection, "When I first arrived at the club, we were in a similar situation, last in a lower division. We have to remember where we came from, and in the end, we managed to turn things around."
"I feel that if we continue and raise the level of commitment, we will turn this around, and the results will come. I trust the players we have, I believe we are capable, and we will prove it. It touches our pride. I am in the First Division, and I want to show that I am a First Division player. I want the results to come."
The blue midfielder reiterated, "When I arrived, I talked a lot with Jesús. He had the dream of promotion, and we were last. That situation was more difficult. I like to hold on to the positive things. We are two points away, and I believe we can do it."
"The locker room feels the frustration of not getting the results, but we are united and know we have to give that extra effort. This break will do us a lot of good, and we will end up achieving the results we need to achieve. The team is playing slightly better football, conceding fewer goals. There are positive things, but the results are not coming. I am also result-oriented, and we have to win no matter what, but I see improvement and feel that this break will help us improve many things. These two months will be key. Each of us has to push and turn this around, all together."
To conclude, Colombatto sent this message, "Throughout my life, I have been told many times that I couldn't, that it was not possible. We have two months to fight back and finish this first stage of the competition in the First Division in the best way possible. Above all, we must keep working. It's the only way I know for the results to come."
