Paco Jemez spoke to the media after his side managed to get a point from Barcelona, which is his first as a manager on his ninth attempt.

Did you speak to your players: "I prefer to leave it to them to enjoy it and I will talk after. With the players, there is very little to say. The satisfaction to get a positive result and show good things is sufficient award."

What did you like most? "A little bit of everything. I still think that we lacked more of the ball, but today we took a step forward. We did many things and the sensation in defense was really food. In terms of sacrifice. Barcelona hardly had a shot."

Calleri said that the best of Las Palmas is down to Paco Jemez: "No, I do my work, the responsibility of the good things is down to the players and the bad is that of the trainers. That is how I understand it. I I tried to change the mentality that they were not good. At the end if we achieve salvation and it will be more merit to them."

Performance of Mateu Lahoz: "The feeling I have is that both are hand balls. Later, we can interpret if they are involuntary or not. I saw two hand balls."

Mateu's style: "I like Mateu, with his little quirks... I like the manner in which he referees. It's my opinion, it doesn't mean that I like one performance. I have always had admiration because to me he seems different. On occassion, you have to interpret what he whistled because sometimes only he knows but I like him."

A point against Barcelona: "More about what it can do for staying in LaLiga is the moral strengthening to get a result against Barcelona. It's a point more, but this moral strengthening will give us the impulse to go and win games."
