Statements to MCFTV | Claudia Jiménez
Career
“I’ve been playing since I was very young. I’m from a footballing family and I’ve always been a friend of the ball. When I went to school I signed up for extracurricular football, and from there I moved to my first football team with boys, and then to SPA, Levante and Valencia, where I was for two years”.
Call from the Club
“I was at home when I received the call, which took me by surprise. I’m thrilled that a team like this noticed me and given me this opportunity. I’m very happy and can’t wait to get started and give my all for this shirt”.
Qualities
“I’m a centre forward who stops the ball, heads the ball, I combine well with my teammates and work hard. I give balls at the first touch and I’m a finisher”.
Goals
“I’m more about passing than netting goals, but to set myself an aim, I would say I could score 15 goals, but it’s something we’ll see over the season”.
Getting to know the city
“I was in Málaga two summers ago with friends for a few days, but I didn’t know the city very well. It’s very similar to Alicante, where I’m from, the Mediterranean, and I think I’ll adapt well. I’m sure my teammates will welcome me with open arms, I’m very happy”.
Objectives
“Among the objectives I have is to regain confidence, know what I’m worth, see that the Club has committed to me and return the confidence shown in me with goals. I want to do my bit to achieve Málaga’s objective to get as far as possible and move up”.
