The 2025/2026 season for Cádiz CF has ended, with player assessments consistently pointing to a season of learning, resilience, and final relief. Although it was a campaign many would prefer to forget, securing their place in the league has provided valuable lessons for the team's future.
Players such as Jorge Moreno, Sergio Arribas, Joaquín González, the loaned Antoñito Cordero, and Ontiveros have shared their perspectives. Ontiveros, admitting a personally disappointing season due to injuries, hopes to return strongly next season, believing that the experience of "learning to suffer" will benefit the team. He sent a message of hope to the fans, promising to return "at full strength."
Joaquín González, a personal signing by Juan Cala, feels the season has "hardened them and made them grow." Despite being hampered by injuries, he focuses on the victory that secured their survival and the relief it brought. "These are the moments where you grow the most," he stated, highlighting the development of many players new to the league or its pressures.
Jorge Moreno, a defender brought in to strengthen the backline, emphasized the difficulty of "knowing how to handle it, recovering, and turning the situation around." He acknowledges the fans' dissatisfaction during the season but appeals for their unwavering support next season, hoping they will be as "exceptional" as in the recent home matches.
Winter signings, including Sergio Arribas, have also offered their views. The young player learned to "manage a bad dynamic" and values joining a team fighting for survival, leaving behind a club that was relegated. His message to the fans expresses gratitude for their support and a promise to "aim for more" next season.
Antoñito Cordero, on loan since January, felt his adaptation was made easier by teammates despite "complicated situations with coaching changes." He expressed gratitude for the support and affection received, and was pleased with the experience, despite the challenges. The club has not yet decided if he will return next season.
This marks the end of a season that began with high hopes but evolved into an intense battle for survival, fortunately concluding without a tragic outcome.
