Diego Díaz: “There’s no doubt in the dressing room” at Andorra

Diego Díaz was unveiled as a new FC Andorra player with a clear message: his squad’s mood hasn’t been affected by the slow start. Despite the sequence—after a first win over Ceuta—the team has suffered three consecutive defeats, but Díaz insisted that “there’s no doubt in the dressing room and we’re all very calm,” adding that “we’ve only played four games” and that “LaLiga Hypermotion is a long season” (MARCA).

Calm mindset, belief

He explained that he has been training for a week under Carles Manso and remains convinced things can be flipped. “We’re sure we’ll get through it,” he said, pointing to the idea of improving as the fixtures keep coming (MARCA).

Díaz arrives on loan from Racing de Santander and described how quickly the move was finalized at the end of the window. “Racing told us 24 hours before the market closed that we would be going on loan,” he said, noting that the Andorra option appeared at the last minute and he needed “two hours” to make the decision. It will also be his first experience away from home, calling it a major step: “To go to a club like Andorra and, on top of that, to this level, is a big step” (MARCA).

His role and what he’s been told

On how he fits into the team’s style, the midfielder described himself as “an associative player” with “good game vision.” He also said the level he found among his teammates “surprised me in a good way.” Asked what the coach wants from him, he explained the focus is to be “himself,” especially when he’s close to the box to use his “good strike” and try “to shoot at goal,” while also working and linking play. Still, he avoided promising an immediate impact: “As the matches go by, we’ll see what I can bring to the team” (MARCA).
