Eldense Faces a Critical Week and a Big Saturday
The midfielder Cris Montes spoke from the Nuevo Pepico Amat press room as the team prepared for a clash on Saturday at 14:00 against Amorebieta. He analyzed the current mood in the squad, spoke about his personal situation, and explained why he remains confident he will earn a bigger role on the field this season. Montes highlighted that his early chances with the club did not reflect his desire to contribute and hinted at a steady return to regular minutes as the campaign progresses.
The Tenerife-born player had started five matches but was taken off in each of them, with his most recent appearance dating back almost a month against Real Oviedo. Despite the limited playing time, he stayed composed because he believed stronger opportunities would come. He reaffirmed his readiness, saying he is in excellent shape and mentally driven to help the team, noting that his form was strong during his spell with Ferrol.
Eldense Needs to Solidify Its Stand
Regarding the upcoming game with Amorebieta, Montes stressed that there is no lingering frustration over past results. Both teams had previously achieved promotion and reached their respective goals, he noted with a sense of mutual respect. He recalled the journey that included eliminating Celta B and Real Madrid Castilla as part of their ascent, underscoring the resilience the squad has shown together.
Montes emphasized the objective of posting three more victories after the recent draw with Ferrol. He suggested that success on that path would strengthen the team’s position and help pull away from the lower part of the table. He also acknowledged the level of competition in the league and reflected on how their recent results against teams like Eibar, Espanyol, and a tough Oviedo performance have tested them, highlighting the ongoing challenge faced by every opponent in the division.
One of the familiar adversaries mentioned was Tenerife’s Santa Cruz, a side Montes knows well. He recalled that the relief from three winless games in a row had brought a sense of calm to the locker room. The focus now is on tightening defensive organization while maintaining offensive efficiency to increase goal output, a balance the team has been working hard to achieve this season.
Finally, Montes commented on his personal rhythm during matches and his ability to read the game. He stressed that the fans have a key role and urged them to bring the same energy on Saturday that has characterized their support so far this campaign. The squad hopes to respond with another solid performance and secure the points needed to keep climbing the table.
