Andrés Prieto: “We’re seeing a more established and confident team”

The Blue and Whites’ goalkeeper attended to the sports media today at the Ciudad de Málaga stadium: “We must now focus on Dépor, which is the match to measure our level”, says Andrés.

Last match

“We’re upset by the way the match panned out in Villarreal. We did a lot of things right, but a few details killed the game for us. However, it’s important to focus on the positives, the team competed very well, and we continue to improve on those small things that are damaging us”.

Dynamics

“They were equal matches. The other day, in two isolated actions, the rival conceded goals and we suffered a random punishment, so to speak. Yet in another game with the same dynamic, we didn’t concede goals, but it’s certainly true that everything and every detail can hurt us”.

Step forward

“The image and confidence levels are different. We’re seeing a more established and confident team. We’ve taken a step forward, despite losing to a high-level rival. We were performing at the same standard as the opponent until the goal, so we must now focus on Dépor, which is the match to measure our level”.

League break

“More so than mentally, we need to ensure we’re on good physical form. If not, these two weeks could be very long. We’re focusing on physical training and next week preparing for the game, to approach it in the best way possible”.

Goalkeepers

“I learned a lot from him last year (Roberto), and also with Cenk, and the reserve team keepers who train with us, like Kellya. I learn from all of my teammates”.

Psychologist

“Another piece has been incorporated, a tool that has been made available to us, like a physical trainer or an analyst. The psychologist is another part of training, and in my opinion, very important”.
