Iván Rodríguez on S.D. Huesca's start: "The demands are extremely high and we haven't been at our best"

S.D. Huesca's start has not been particularly poor in terms of results, having taken four of six possible points, but the performances against Sant Andreu and Real Jaén have not been positive. The level of play has been particularly low, something Iván Rodríguez acknowledged at a press conference.

"In terms of our play, we haven't been at our best, but we have played against two well-prepared teams, and they play too and made things difficult for us. The demands at Huesca are extremely high, but we have to remain calm and take it one game at a time, and I'm sure everything will go very well," the full-back said. Iván Rodríguez also added that, with two consecutive home games now coming up against Villarreal B and Atlético Madrileño, "we have to get good points on the board and do whatever we can."

The left-back knows Villarreal's reserve side well, having spent last season on loan from Andorra at the Castellón-based club. "It's a special game because the group is the same and they have kept their players. They are a good team; this Villarreal side is competitive and capable of overcoming any situation," he said.

HIS PERSONAL GOALS

Against Real Jaén, he played his first minutes of the season after being an unused substitute against Sant Andreu and managed to level the game with a superb chip over the goalkeeper. "I'm very happy about the goal, but dissatisfied because it wasn't enough to secure the win. They started well, but we knew how to recover and draw the game," he said.

Regarding his playing prospects, given that his rival for the position is an experienced player such as Salva Ruiz, he said: "I hope to play as many minutes as possible, and I'm willing to play in any position and do whatever comes my way."
