Real Oviedo midfielder Sergio Tejera appeared in the Press Room at El Requexón today, after Ziganda's side returned to training.
Following last Sunday's victory over Tenerife, the Catalan admitted that "it was important.  We wanted to dedicate a victory to our fans.  It gives us confidence, and even though we had been working well, we needed it.  You see everything differently after winning, but we are still aware of where we are.  We have to keep working."
Regarding the importance of keeping clean sheets, Tejera believes that "the team had been doing well defensively in recent games, but set plays were hurting us.  We are improving now and being solid at the back.  It's important.  Clean sheets are very important, especially for defensivesolidity."
Talking about the work being done for the Extremadura match, the midfielder reasoned that "the week has to be the same, and we have to be aware that we have to keep giving everything.  We are going there to get three points. We are taking the match very seriously and know it will be difficult.  We have to be very good in all areas, but we are calm because of the work we are doing.  We are going to Extremadura with a winning mentality."
Finally, with respect to Ziganda's work, Tejera highlighted that "he's focusing a lot on not giving anything away at the back and being solid defensively.  We have to all help out and make the group solid."
