Press conference

“Any detail can sway a game, which we saw here”

Malaguista midfielder Medhi Lacen, captain in the match against Sporting, said in the mixed zone that “we lacked a degree of calm in the final minutes”.

Last play of the match

“It happened very quickly, and these are things we need to improve on. We cannot let points escape us like that in the final minutes, particularly in away games. If we want to be at the top this is something we need to fix”.

Details

“In any play, any detail can sway a game, which we saw here today. A throw-in, you miss one, then a shot leads to a goal. We need to remain attentive to the very end, today we paid the price so hopefully we can rectify this for future matches”.

Same objective

“Regardless who plays, in the end we all have the same objective: move up to the elite. When we play, I’m the first one to be happy to have minutes on the pitch, and if not, then I help my teammates.”

Calm

“You can always improve. Towards the end of the match we lacked a degree of calm. They played many long balls, we lost possession very quickly, and perhaps we lacked a bit of experience, in a set piece and controlling the ball a bit more. However, we’re on the right track and need to move on”.

Away results

“I don’t see anyone worried, but we haven’t won the last five games, but it’s just about details. The match against Deportivo, today’s game… we’re on the brink of clinching victory and need a win as soon as possible”.

Top table positions

“The team is fine, despite the bad feeling about the last goal. We’re in the top part of the table, where we want to be, and must continue like this. There’s a long way to go yet”.
