Press conference

A Herrero: “We deserved a victory like this; I’m proud to help the team”

Málaga CF’s goalkeeper and captain spoke after #MálagaAlmería in a press conference. “I’m very happy to have helped with important saves at crucial moments,” he said.

Serious match

“We played a very serious match. We knew the team we were up against. That bit of luck also smiled on us. Great work, very happy to bring joy to our fans. Now we can go on holiday with our work well done, which is very good for us.”

Saves

“I’m very happy to have helped the team with important saves at crucial moments. We deserved a victory like this, and having my saves translate into points is an honour, I’m proud to help the team.”

Smooth adaptation

“Football is about results. We feel comfortable with the coach, we have a very good way of working, and we are proposing good things. The team was also comfortable with ‘Pelli,’ and we’re comfortable with Funes. It’s been a smooth adaptation. Really, this is bearing fruit for us.”

Match by match

“It’s a bit boring, but we take it match by match. We hadn’t been consistent, and now we’re finding that consistency in terms of play and comfort on the pitch. More than thinking about the standings, it’s about sticking to an idea and going all in with it. Feet on the ground.”

Happy in Málaga

“Very happy to feel the fans’ affection. La Rosaleda feels like my home, and their support is very important. It leaves a very good feeling. I’m thrilled, I’m happy and content here, hopefully for a long time.”

Great individual level

“This could be one of my best matches this season. In terms of the number of saves, but my work also involves many other things. In other games I haven’t been as sharp, but they have helped me feel better today. Hard work and consistency are what really matter.”

Footwork

“I see it as a personal challenge. To take a step forward in playing with my feet. It’s a challenge, more than a burden. Being bold with the ball, making good plays from the back, puts the opponents in doubt. We are doing things well.”
