Jonathan Viera is happy joining Almeria.

Viera arrives as a free agent and accepts they'll face next season in the Segunda Division.

The veteran midfielder said: "The message is that we are going to try to enjoy ourselves. Always from competing, because in every game you have to compete to win, that is very important to convey to the locker room. Let people come to the field and enjoy, that they leave proud of their team and that they are excited, because in a situation like this, that is difficult to achieve.

"We are going to try to give something to the fans so that they continue there because with them we are going to be stronger , that's clear".

His return to the Gran Canaria Stadium will be special: "Yes, everyone knows the love I have for the club, it is my home and my people, but as I said before, this is football and things happen because they have to happen and "The day that game arrives, which still remains, we will talk about it. I would have liked to never play in that stadium with another shirt, but this is what life and football are about."

Asked if Almeria can stay up, he added: "The important thing is Monday. If we think about how far we are from getting out of relegation, that creates stress and anxiety that the team will not be able to withstand. S

"We have to start by winning Monday's game and after that game we will see who is next, that is the only way I know to get out of where we are.

"I love football, I like to watch it, play it and I always want to play at all hours. The years go by and you are no longer 20 years old to be playing football every day but I'm very excited, I really want to be well, help the team and make people enjoy me all the time I'm here."
