Mellot set for Tenerife reunion, says he will play for Castellón with his heart | OneFootball

Jérémy Mellot faces his former club when CD Castellón host Tenerife at 18.30 on Saturday at SkyFi Castalia. Pablo Hernández’s leaders have 13 points from 15 after four wins and one draw, buoyed by the comeback in Girona.

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, Mellot said his affection for Tenerife will not dilute his commitment, adding he plays with his heart for Castellón. He urged calm despite top spot, saying the club are keeping their feet on the ground.

He warned how unforgiving Segunda División is, noting three or four defeats can drop a side out of the play-offs. The message is to go step by step, one match at a time.

He cited Albacete and Girona as benchmarks, calling Girona the strongest side this season. At Montilivi they trailed 1-0 yet stuck to a front-foot idea with a united group.

He knows Tenerife well from four seasons there, praised 40-year-old Enric Gallego and said the team play together and know how to play. He believes they will have a big season under a coach he knows well.

On Isra Suero staying, he said the forward is important on and off the pitch, brings daily joy, needs minutes and deserves to play, though only 11 can start. Mellot wants to play regularly again but says the manager decides, praising Pablo Hernández’s clear ideas and saying the group will try to give a little more each game for staff, themselves and the fans.
