Apparently, the team has lost the mystique it had in the previous championship under the command of coach Asier Garitano.

Both games won in the second half, after equaling 0-0 against the “blanquivioletas” and losing 1-0 with the Basques in the first half. The objective of the team is to be more effective in this condition, trying not to get too complicated to win. Of course, despite this, it is still a good and effective midnight forward forward thanks to the hierarchy of its main figures, which can appear at any time to unbalance.
