We are eager for tomorrow's match to arrive. As you say, we have lost both games in January and the year has not started as we wanted. Now the second round begins and we have to take a step forward compared to the first, and tomorrow is the first opportunity to show it. The team has worked well during the week. We have the absences of Maffeo and Morlanes. Raíllo has made a huge effort to try to play, because he wants to help and contribute, but as of today, I see it very difficult. And regarding Justin Kalumba, today was his first training session with us and still we have included him in the 23-man squad, especially for him to start getting into the group's dynamics.

These are different situations. The last time he wore the mask and showed courage to be able to play, and that must be recognized, because he has done it many times. But this time he is more limited, which is logical. There are certain gestures that are hard for him, and it's also noticeable in his mindset. That's why I say it's difficult for him to play tomorrow. Still, he has done everything in his power: he has trained, he wanted to be there, and the final decision will be made tomorrow.

Yes, absolutely. Sometimes I think he's reckless, but that speaks very well of Raíllo's character. Knowing that he has a very slim chance of playing tomorrow, today he wanted to train, be present, and push his teammates. The same goes for Pichu Cuéllar: he's in the squad and is very important in day-to-day activities. These are details that are not always visible from the outside, but are highly valued by a coach.

He is a player for the present and, especially, for the future, with very good qualities. He has had some sporadic appearances in professional football because he was competing in the reserve team, but he is young and talented. It is a market opportunity that the club has been able to take advantage of, although it would be unfair to demand an immediate performance like the one we currently need from him.
