The B team players were unanimous that their performance against Elche certainly deserved the three points their 2-0 win gave them.

The win , and the way the game was won, was a clear demonstration of the team’s determination to maintain their own style of play, despite last week’s heavy defeat. According to midfielder Carlos Carmona: “we had a slip up against Cartagena and it was important to win this one to put any doubts behind us. That is the level we have to continue to play at”.

Carmona pleased with performance

“We knew Elche would be a tough team and it wouldn’t be easy. They were very well organised at the back and they pressured us well”, went on Carmona.”I’m happy with the way the team played, we worked pretty well, put in the performance we had to and thoroughly deserved the three points”.

Clean sheet

It was a good night for keeper Rubén Miño, who kept the first clean sheet of the season and he commented: “it was a tough game, but if you can stop the other team from scoring, as we did, that means anything you can convert up front will give you a win”.

Second half improvement

Striker Jonathan Soriano, who bagged the opening goal reckoned: “we played a better second half. They pressured us a lot in the first half and it wasn’t easy to push forward, but in the second we were better, faster and created more chances”.

Confidence key

For centre half Marc Muniesa: “they were a tough team, well prepared at the back and able to stop us coming out with the ball. We got that first goal though and that gave our confidence a boost. We then played our game and took the points”.
