– Your main goal – the output in Example?

 - You need to be modest. Immediate goal – to succeed in Valladolid. Everyone says that we need to move progressively, to do everything step by step. I think this is the correct view. My goal – to finish as high as possible in the standings. From us, no one needs to enter the top division is in the current year.

Anyway, the team has strengthened the defense. Now it is not so easy to miss the goals.

– It is believed that the team will add, if there’s a good hitter and left Marco Asensio.

 - He still has to mature – as a player and as a person. And it is in that place where he can make progress. Other teams will not pay attention to his age and require him to complete the program. He is a versatile player, but he needs to add. And if the club will be able to help him develop, it would be great. With respect to possible acquisitions, ie the list. I hope we will soon be adding the composition of one or two players.
