Alfonso Herrero: It’s been a very special day for me

The goalkeeper made his Malaguista debut in the Costa del Sol Cup: “I think we're doing a good job,” he said.

Alfonso Herrero is one of the seven signings MCF has made so far in the transfer market. The goalkeeper made his debut today at his new stadium with a great performance, featuring in several notable saves: “Above all I’m happy to help the team. I think we’re doing a good job on a day-to-day basis, the goalkeepers and the rest of the players. Being able to help the team is always good, I think today was a good day. We were able to read the game well and leave with a victory. Those feelings are important,” he explained.

Regarding his debut: “I really wanted to experience a match at home, I was very excited to play here, as I’ve already experienced it as a visitor. The important thing is to stick together, support the team and all move in the same direction to take Málaga where it deserves to be. It’s been a very special day for me, I’m looking forward to continuing to play many matches here,” he commented.

Lastly, he talked about the pressure Málaga CF may experience this season: “Pressure is subjective, but it’s clear that playing here is not the same as playing at other grounds. I think that this well-understood pressure is good and much-needed. When things don't go well, maybe it's good for us. We need to do our best for the fans and change what we’re not doing well. Playing in such a big club can bring many highs and lows. If we’re able to stay in the middle ground and pull together, we can have a good season.”
