• Second B. This is Group I

Raúl González Blanco premiered as coach of Castilla in an official match this Sunday in the Las Rozas field with a draw (1-1) in the match corresponding to the first day of Group I of Second Division B, a meeting in which he monopolized all the focus of attention and in which he was very active in the technical area.

"I am very happy, I can not fool you. Very happy for the opportunity that the club offers me, in my second year, to have the opportunity to train Castilla . I have a good group, good staff, good coaching staff. It's a bit different from when you are a player because now you do the work during the week and during the game you can only make some correction. At first with more nerves than normal but then they are already going as the game progresses, "he said when asked by EFE to match term

The coach arranged a very young starting eleven on the field, 19.7 years on average , and wanted to highlight the team's ability to react after the goal received: "In the preseason we had had some cases in which the opponent was ahead and we disconnected and that caused us to fit another goal. Today we react very well with the draw soon and I am happy because this is what we want Castilla to be: an ambitious team, that does not give up and is able to solve the difficulties . We lacked a little more punch in our area because we generated chances, but we hope to solve it in the following matches, "he said.

Kubo and Rodrygo

Raúl referred to the march of the Japanese Takefusa Kubo , who participated with Castilla during the preseason, assigned to Mallorca: "I want to wish Kubo good luck in Mallorca. It was a pleasure to have him with us, but he was a player of the first team and its assignment to Mallorca has been decided ".

The Madrid coach also spoke of the situation of the Brazilian Rodrygo Goes , who was low due to injury and whose future is in the air, since an exit is considered as a transfer: "With Rodrygo the same thing happens as with Take, he is a player of the first team and Castilla is here to serve the first team. When the club decides that it has to play with Castilla we will be happy to receive you and help you for your improvement, "he said.

When asked to take charge of the bench of the first team , Raul unchecked this possibility ensuring that he still has to burn stages. "Raúl is in a learning process. I have a lot of time coming to Castilla, time will be seen, but in my head he is here, enjoy this process and learn a lot from the players and the competition. I will commit mistakes, that I will try to make them the least or fix them, because this is a very nice process in which I am very excited and in which I am enjoying, "he said.
