Córdoba CF full-back, Ignasi Vilarrasa, has shared his thoughts on the team's recent poor run of results, calling it a "serious setback," and expressed renewed confidence following their victory in Cádiz.
Following Córdoba CF's significant victory in Cádiz, Ignasi Vilarrasa conveyed a message of calm and confidence. The Catalan player emphasized the need to approach the remaining eight matches with optimism, aiming to enjoy the end of the season and accumulate points to climb the standings.

"Now we are having a week of tranquility, joy, and eagerness to face Saturday with our people to add three points again."
Regarding the recent crisis of results, Vilarrasa acknowledged it was a significant "setback." He explained that the team was aware of their previously strong position, which allowed them to fight for ambitious goals. Despite this, he admitted that the players "ran out of steam a bit," leading to difficult weeks for everyone.

"The players are also aware that we ran out of steam a bit, and it has been a very serious setback. We all had the aspiration to fight to be at the top, and in the end, the reality is what it is now."
The full-back clarified that there were no internal problems within the locker room; instead, the poor dynamic was due to "details" in the game and a lack of assertiveness at crucial moments. He attributed the prolonged streak to the competitiveness of the Segunda División, where matches are decided by small actions.
Last week's victory was crucial, according to Vilarrasa, not only to break the bad streak but also to distance themselves from relegation spots and regain confidence. The team is now focused on winning every match, with the goal of "restoring that enthusiasm to the fans" and showcasing a joyful and competitive Córdoba.
Regarding the upcoming match against Real Zaragoza, Vilarrasa anticipates an intense game, as the opponent is fighting for survival. However, he emphasizes that Córdoba CF must focus on their own performance, regardless of the opposition.
Finally, the player also addressed his recent injury, describing it as "complex and very debilitating," which prevented him from competing at one hundred percent. His goal is to finish the last eight matchdays at the highest possible level, both for the team and for the fans and the club, aiming to conclude the season on a positive note.
