The coach of UD Las Palmas, Diego Martínezled the first training session this Monday before the last game at the Gran Canaria Stadium on December 22, 2024 against RCD Espanyol with the idea of closing the year with 22 points and face 2025 with greater resilience towards the goal of permanence.
Martínez spoke to the squad and explained what the Canarian team is facing with one key: trust and unity. The yellow coach maintains, after his five draws, two defeats and one draw since he took over the technical direction of UD Las Palmas, which “it all depends on the day to day” and that “that belief is essential to complete staying on the right path.”
The Spaniard is going through an unprecedented scoring drought this season. With just 15 goals in 16 games, the Parakeets are at the bottom of the table in terms of offensive effectiveness. Only Valladolid, Valencia and Getafe have fewer points. The lack of goals is a constant concern for the team, which is looking for solutions in the winter market. Sergi Guardiola is emerging as an economical option to strengthen the forward line.
Martínez affirms that the team is facing “all difficulties” and that “internal competition is important” because of that the RCD Espanyol game “was very difficult“. The technical team of UD Las Palmas this week outlines the study of RSD Espanyol and from Wednesday, after the training day this Monday, they will return to the preparation of the match “where we all have to compete”,
For the coach of UD Las Palmas, the key to the results of the last weeks is a product of the confidence of the squad itself, even facing the winter market ““nothing can divert us” from the “purpose” of abiding in LaLiga EA Sports, assuming “there are more to come” bad streaks in 2025.
The rivalry between UD Las Palmas and RCD Espanyol represents an important opportunity for both teams in relation to their goals for the season. On the one hand, the UD Las Palmas will try to consolidate its place in the table and distance itself from compromised positionswhile the Catalan team will try to change its negative dynamics and get important points to escape relegation.
