UD Las Palmas is seeking promotion to LaLiga with a revamped team and an exciting project, following a playoff semifinal loss to Málaga CF. The Canary Islands team will return to the starting line with a clear objective in mind and a project that is becoming increasingly exciting.
With everything to go for promotion
“The club's goal is to promote every season,” says Diego Martínez, a sports journalist from Movistar+ and a native of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. “Las Palmas cannot afford anything else. It's true that first you have to secure permanence and then look up, go step by step, but the goal is to promote,” he acknowledges.
Total reconstruction in defense
The team, compared to last season, has seen many of its key players leave, such as Lorenzo Amatucci, who has made the jump to the First Division with RC Deportivo, or captain Jonathan Viera, who has ventured to try an exotic experience with the Thai team Ratchaburi FC. UD Las Palmas has had to face a virtually total reconstruction in defense, with the incorporation of new players like José Antonio Caro ‘Churripi’ and Nicholas Opoku.
Canary wood and talent from the quarry
The performance of Canary players like Álex Suárez and Juanma Herzog, who occupied the center of the defense in the first game of the season, is exciting. “I think the fan values that above all things. They prefer a team that fights and gives its all and that it's noticeable that they feel the colors because they're Canary or from the quarry,” comments Diego Martínez. UD Las Palmas has one of the best quarries in Spain, with players like Kirian Rodríguez, Jefté Betancor, Jesé Rodríguez, and Valentín Pezzolesi.
A return for Sandro with everything to go
The contribution of veterans will be fundamental, such as the return of Sandro Ramírez, who scored a goal in the first game of the season. “Sandro's return is very important,” emphasizes Diego Martínez. “He scored a goal. It was incredible. And if he performs well, he's a starter on this team, without a doubt,” he maintains. UD Las Palmas has an exciting project, with a revamped team and a clear objective in mind. With the incorporation of new players and the talent from the quarry, the Canary Islands team is seeking promotion to LaLiga.
