CD Tenerife manager Álvaro Cervera initially raised concerns regarding player injuries and league scheduling. He reported that Nacho Gil was a doubt for the match against CD Castellón due to a leg injury and criticized the decision-makers for scheduling three consecutive Monday fixtures, which he argued created logistical and travel challenges for the Canary Islands-based club.

Following the match against CD Castellón, CD Tenerife suffered a 5-0 defeat. Cervera expressed shock at the performance, stating he had “never felt so helpless from the start of a game.” While acknowledging the impact of Gil’s absence, Cervera attributed the loss to the tactical and technical superiority of Castellón.
