Statements MCFTV | Christian Atsu

(Debut/adaption) “It had been a while since I played, but I felt good, confident and very pleased to play at La Rosaleda.  We have a great group of players, they’re easy to work with and I feel very comfortable, they’re all jokers!  I’ve adapted very quickly as I had a great welcome.”

(Opportunity/work) “Gracia is a very prepared coach and he gave me a chance to play at a time he thought best for the Club.  I’m grateful for this opportunity, it’s what I’ve needed for a long time, and I look forward to working hard to please the coaching team and the Club.  It was a good 45 minutes on the pitch.  If I want to show my best level, I need to keep playing and working hard.”

(Fans/support) “The fans are fantastic, playing at La Rosaleda is spectacular.  I loved playing there and I can’t wait to do it again.  I’d like to thank the fans for their support during and after the game.”

(LaLiga) “It’s one of the best leagues in the world, a difficult league, but it’s going well.  It’s a very technical competition with a great deal of ball possession.  I’m thrilled to play in LaLiga.  Compared to other competitions it’s more technical, with more possession; whilst the Premier League is more physical and they play more quickly.”

(MCF) “Málaga is a great team, I followed their participation in the Champions League, and I’m very happy to be here.”
