The President started off by underlining that "in the most recent games, it's hasn't been there, but now we're playing in this all important competition which is essential to us. We have to show why we're favourites on the pitch and show that we want to win this competition".

José Castro admitted that he was slightly concerned, but that his confidence in the team was still strong: "I'm a little concerned, obviously; if I wasn't then that would be irresponsible of me. However, within that, there's still a lot of confidence in the group".
"The coach is a part of the sporting group that we've got together for both now, and the future. We trust in him now just as much as we did in July - and that goes for the squad as well. There's no doubts whatsoever. We strengthened the squad in January and the confidence is there to see that things will go well. We went through a bad spell which happens to every team; but the only thing to do is to keep the faith in the team and the management. We are within reach of our objectives".
"I speak with Lopetegui every day and I see the desire within him"
To finish off, José Castro confirmed that "I speak with the coach every day. I see the desire within him, with his morals still intact. Things have to change and let's hope that that starts from tomorrow in this incredible competition".
