Xabi, who gave debuts to Franco Mastantuono and Alvaro Carreras, acknowledged that there were both positive and areas for improvement. After two weeks of pre-season training, the team still has a lot to work on. Xabi felt that they were well-organised, but struggled to create clear scoring opportunities against a defensive-minded opponent.

Xabi expressed confidence that the team will improve and find their rhythm as they continue to fine-tune their performance. He noted that the victory gives the team a sense of security and motivation to keep working hard. Xabi also praised the performances of new players Mastantuono and Carreras, saying they settled in well and showed no signs of nerves.

Xabi was also impressed with the play of midfielder Arda Guler, who has been making steady progress since joining the team. Xabi noted that Guler has improved not only in terms of his technical skills, but also in his understanding of the game and his ability to provide stability and control in midfield.
