UD Las Palmas midfielder Manu Fuster assessed the team's current form ahead of the trip to face Cádiz. His comments, reported by La Provincia, convey a sense of calm within the yellow dressing room despite the challenges of the league campaign.
Fuster spoke to the press on Wednesday at the Barranco Seco training ground. The match against Cádiz is scheduled for Saturday at 15:15 and will be broadcast on LaLiga TV. The 27-year-old player dismissed any concerns about squad unity. "The football theory of the blanket, the one that if it covers your head it doesn't cover your feet, does not worry us," stated the player. With this metaphor, Fuster aimed to underline that the team is not distracted by external issues.
What is the team's condition for the match?
The UD Las Palmas squad approaches the fixture with a positive spirit. According to the club's updated data, the team holds a mid-table position in the LaLiga SmartBank standings. Their season record so far includes important home victories. The coaching staff, led by the manager, has been able to count on most of the squad for this week's training sessions.

Fuster's confidence is rooted in daily work. The midfielder is one of the players with the most minutes this campaign. His versatility allows him to operate in both creative and defensive duties. This collective solidity will be key against a Cádiz side fighting for promotion. The fixture at the Nuevo Mirandilla always represents a tough examination.
What is Fuster's role in the system?
Manu Fuster has established himself as a key figure in the centre of the park. His numbers reflect his consistent involvement in the team's attacking phase. He is not the only player in good form. Other midfield pieces, like Kirian Rodríguez and Enzo Loiodice, also provide balance and dynamism. This internal competition raises the overall level in training.
The squad has a young average age, which brings energy and a capacity for sacrifice. Fuster, with his experience, acts as a reference point on and off the pitch. His reading of the game helps organise defensive transitions. The manager particularly values his ability to press high and recover balls in the opponent's half.
What are the expectations for the second half of the season?
The club's objective is clear: maintain consistency to aim for promotion places. The schedule for the coming months is demanding, with several long away trips. Fans can follow the team's progress and check all matches on our fixtures calendar. Every point will be decisive in a league as tight as the SmartBank.
The board trusts the project and strengthened the team in the winter transfer window. The addition of a centre-forward provided more offensive options. These moves aim to give depth to the roster to handle a congested fixture list. Defensive solidity, with only a handful of goals conceded in recent matches, is another foundation to build upon.
The team will travel to Cádiz on Friday to hold their final training session at the rival stadium. Focus is absolute. Manu Fuster and his teammates are fully aware of the importance of picking up points away from home. Saturday's match is the first of three away fixtures in the next four matchdays. The next home game at the Estadio de Gran Canaria is in two weeks, according to the official schedule.
