Going for the win at Valladolid

We need the confidence and support of the fans. Today I can only apologize to the fans. But, we must achieve many victories for them. We can do it.
Learning from our mistakes
I have confidence in the coach, but I have to learn a lot to correct my mistakes. It has been a tough week for me. I have to learn a lot.
