Antonio Contreras: “We are closer to the objective”

The Malaguista coach spoke to the Club media following the win against CFF Cáceres: “These points give us a bit more life, above all, for the team’s image”.

A victory that gives oxygen

“It gives us a bit more life, above all, for the team’s image. In the end, although at no time were we in trouble, if we were to solely look at the standings, we can see there’s no room for error, perhaps in one match, but the team doesn’t even entertain that notion. Today we saw a serious team, a team that wanted to play football, a team that tried to do everything we’ve been doing in training and bring it to the pitch, and in the end it all paid off”.

Dominance from the start

“Taking such an early lead was good for us as it helped to settle the nerves. We’re happy, we kept another clean sheet and are closer to the objective. Out of the three remaining games, we need two victories”.

Defensive work

“When you talk about Málaga CF femenino you only talk about goals scored, but the important thing about this is the work done without the ball, in defence, from the front line to the back. In the final play, Cáceres had an option to claw one back but came up against a very good Chelsea, which shows that the keeper, even though the rival didn’t have a shot, was immersed in the game for 94 minutes, which is the idea”.

Victory with a special dedication

“I would like to dedicate this match to someone who was here today to enjoy their Málaga, Ben Barek. This is a match for everyone, and could be dedicated to 40,000 people, but I want to dedicate it to Ben Barek, as come rain or shine, he’s always with us”.
