Time is running out, with fewer league matches remaining and a six-point gap to safety. Despite this, Rubén de la Barrera prefers not to dwell on the prospect of Primera Federación, which is drawing ever closer for Cultural Leonesa: “Mathematically, we are not relegated yet. So, the question is answered.” True to his style, the coach once again analyzed the match and reiterated that his team deserved victory against Cádiz CF based on what both sides showed on the pitch: “I have more morale than Alcoyano. I would like a team in this division to sweep us off the field, but that’s not the case. We have deficiencies, that’s a reality, but it makes you angry when you see what happens on the field.”
The Galician manager also reflected on what Cultural has experienced since he took charge: “It’s a combination of circumstances that is happening to the team, and the truth is it’s not enough. It’s tough to lose a match after scoring two goals.” De la Barrera also spoke about the remaining four fixtures, which see Cultural host Burgos and Eibar at the Reino de León, and travel to face Albacete and Real Sociedad B: “Football is telling us what awaits. Based on the run of results, I don’t trust in survival, but based on what we do on the field, yes.”
Regarding the match summary, De la Barrera analyzed the development of the game and the new additions to the starting lineup, including Tomás Ribeiro, Tresaco, and Sobrino, who faced his former club: “We started well. We felt we could hurt Cádiz, but we conceded from a poorly defended set piece. It was a match to win, and we didn’t achieve it.”
