Following the defeat against Sporting de Gijón, expert voices on 'LA VOZ del Almería' on Cadena SER emphasize team unity and the need for faith in the coach and players to secure promotion.
The current situation of UD Almería has been thoroughly analyzed on 'LA VOZ del Almería' by Cadena SER, where Luis Columna, Sandra Gálvez, and José Manuel Lermos shared their impressions after the latest match. The unanimous message is clear: "Neither Rubi nor the players, we are all Almería and it's time to believe and support the coach and our players." The objective is straightforward: defeat Valladolid and secure a Play Off spot as third-placed team.
Luis Columna, president of the Provincial Court, pointed out the team's tendency to "make things difficult for ourselves" and the lack of "mental strength," lamenting the "inconsistency" that complicates matters. "We need a leader to rally everyone at Almería," he stated.

"After Sunday's debacle, we are all very disappointed with the team. There's one game left, and achieving third place is very important. I'm sure the fans will be there, as always, and will cheer the Rojiblancos on with all their might. I trust the players will give their best, and above all, I trust that Rubi will find Almería's path again and achieve promotion. Afterwards, the management will have to analyze what went wrong."

"Another lifeline for UD Almería thanks to the rivals' results, not our own merit. A desolate first half against a Sporting team that is on vacation and without any competitive tension (as far as we know). They dominated us, leaving absolute desolation among the fans. The second half saw the team slightly more engaged, but clearly insufficient to win the match. After the game, with Rodrigo Ely leading the group, asking for the fans' support, who once again will be with the team unconditionally until the last breath. Let's go for the final matchday, get the points against Valladolid, and secure the Play Off as third. Vamos Almería!"
Carlos Miralles, a journalist for LA VOZ and Cadena SER, called for attention in the locker room, stating that "the image from Gijón doesn't exactly invite dreams of promotion in the Play Off." Meanwhile, Rafa Góngora, also a journalist for LA VOZ and Cadena SER, expressed concern over "three consecutive games without a win at the most critical moment of the season," calling the upcoming match against Valladolid a "true final."
