"We are going to leave our souls to give back to people what they lost"

With much expectation in the press room of the Gran Canaria Stadium, and only one hour for the dispute of the match of the yellow team against Huesca, Jonathan Viera, who returns to the club of his loves for the third time, wants to make his mark and “what I have in mind is to overcome everything I have done.” With 190 yellow matches behind him and 53 goals, he commented that “I think I am more excited than before wearing the shirt”

Joy, responsibility and ambition are the words that define Jonathan Viera’s first statements to the media on his return home. The 31-year-old footballer said that the demand that has been placed on his figure “is not a problem. What for many footballers is a lot of responsibility, for me it is very good because it makes me grow day by day ”and he warned that“ I am a born winner and very competitive, I always want to win ”.

About these and other questions spoke to the media in the press room before being warmly received by his fans before the match against Huesca:

Meaning of returning to UD: “It assumes that I am very happy, not only I, but also my family who has always belonged to Las Palmas. I came to the club when I was 15 years old and I said many times that my illusion was to retire here, but first I wanted to do important things. with the club. I did not want to arrive at the club when my strength was no longer intact as I have now. I am very happy and I think I am more excited than before wearing the shirt “.

Responsibility: “I am and I am getting older and they demand more of me, but for me that is not a problem. What for many footballers is a lot of responsibility, for me it is very good because it makes me grow day by day, to try harder to give back to the club and to the people all the love they have always given me ”.

Willingness to win with Las Palmas: “It is my DNA, I am a natural and very competitive winner, I always want to win. The two times that I have come they have gone very well, the first one we achieved the promotion which was very nice and in 2019 I scored a lot of goals. I set myself personal challenges and that this third stage exceed expectations and what I have done. I can’t promise anything because football is football and a lot can happen, but what I have in mind is to overcome everything I have done. “

Captaincy: “Maikel, the first day I arrived, he told me that he was going to give the bracelet to me for the entire career that I have been at the club and that he believes it is the best for the club and for the team. I am very grateful, since it speaks very well of him as a person ”.

When will he be to play and knee condition: “My knee is perfect, I have practically no pain. I have had an MRI to see how it is and the doctors and physios have told me that it is fine. Now, the only thing I have left is to take a bit of filming, since I have been idle for a long time and I think that, in two weeks, although I will not be at full capacity, the idea is to take filming to play as soon as possible ”.

Best version of Viera with Pepe Mel: “From the statistics he is right. I have never scored 10 goals in 13 games. Other years I have achieved important things like going to the Spanish team, but by numbers the coach is right. To score 10 goals in those games, whatever the category, is not easy ”.

Group challenges: “The challenges will be seen throughout the year. Now that I say that we want to go up to the First Division, that is fine, it is a dream, but it is not a reality. When we are ready to fight to go up, we will do it ”.

Comparison of Moleiro with Pedri: “Pedri is a magnificent footballer, he has shown it, he will continue to show it and he still has a lot of room for improvement, but the comparisons are odious. Here are guys with great talent and in the few days I’ve been here I have seen some who have caught my attention because of the impudence with which they play and Alberto is one of them. He needs to learn because he is 17 years old, but he looks very good. There is always good understanding among those who play football well ”.

Moment of maturity: “I think I am in the best moment of my career. It is true that I have been unemployed for a few months, but that is not going to change the state of form in which I am going to be in a short time, so I think it is time. I had many things before I came, but I told the president that I had my word that I was going to come. It didn’t matter what offers came, my dream was to come here and do important things. First, because I think I owe them one, the one from 2018. There are things that I don’t forget. I don’t know if we are going to achieve it this year, next year or the next, but we are going to leave our souls to give back to people what they lost ”.

Contract duration and age: “I think I’m going to keep playing football until I have fun on the field. I’ve always said it ”.

Other equipment offers: “I have had offers to play in the First Division, to play in Qatar or Dubai. Some for good sports projects and others to earn money, but I told my agent to stop them all because my dream was to come to Las Palmas ”.

Equipment level: “It is a young team with a lot of potential, but with so much youth and a new team you have to be patient with the team. The year is very long, work is being done very well and I think that in the course of a few weeks the evolution will be seen ”.

Yellow hobby illusion: “Very happy with the warmth of the people, how they have received me and how they have behaved. I’m very excited and wanting to give it back to him on the pitch ”.
