Tenerife defender Jose León said on Wednesday that the blue and white team had not only regained the dynamism of good results “but also the emotions”, which is why he believes that if they focus, it will be difficult for rivals to overtake them.
The Real Madrid centre-back said in a press conference that after regaining ownership, he is experiencing a good personal moment, “but what takes priority is the collective,” and in this sense they have “their feet on the ground and a clear goal.”
After he succeeded in achieving two consecutive victories and scoring eight goals, he acknowledged that they are “outperforming their competitors” and imposing their game, and he believes that they must continue “on this path,” because if they focus, “it will be difficult for them to outperform us.”
Leon does not hide that in the third category of Spanish football, “there is less quality, because there are fewer distinguished players compared to the second league,” and other factors affect it, such as the condition of the stadiums.
The 30-year-old Blue and White defender believes that they must now become “stronger at home”, where next Saturday they will host Arintero, bottom of the group, which in his opinion will not have much to lose and who does not know how they will approach the match after the recent change of coach.
Regarding his future, he admitted that he would be “happy” to continue at the club beyond June 30, 2026, the date on which his current contract will expire, although they have not yet contacted him to discuss a potential renewal.
