Fine tuning

“We’re working very well, we’re all really determined. The new arrivals have adapted perfectly. We’ve been having double training sessions and can’t wait to get on the pitch to face Atlético de Madrid”.

Preseason

“We’ve been up against some very good teams, Champions-level teams who performed very well last year, and the truth is I couldn’t be happier with the work of my teammates. It’s not easy when so many new players arrive, but I think Antonio is doing a great job, which is reflected on the pitch”.

Malaguista fans

“The fans have never let us down, they’ve always been there during the important times, and will do so again this year. The first match is an incentive for the fans to come and support us. I only have words of thanks as they’ve always supported us and this season I know they’ll do the same”.

First match against Atlético de Madrid

“We can’t wait for the moment to arrive. We’re facing the reigning champions which makes us even more motivated. They are the ones who should be afraid, we’ve been training very well, can’t wait to get started and I think they’ll be surprised”.

Enthusiasm and excitement

“This team is highly competitive, very ambitious, we know there’ll be good and bad times, and it’s during the bad times when the team will need to pull out all the stops. All First Division teams are tough, but I don’t think any rival could beat us in enthusiasm”.
