Contreras: “We conveyed a very good image against a great rival”
The Málaga CF Femenino coach values the result from this game: “It’s a great point. In the last part of the match we struggled, but we worked well in all aspects”.
A good rival
“It’s a great point. We should be happy. We played against a great rival, a team that has been performing well for years. We’re newly promoted, we conveyed a very good image and I also think that against a team that likes to play football, likes to maintain possession, in the final minutes of the first half we played well, we owned the ball and the opportunities. It’s true that in the last part of the match we struggled, but we worked well in all aspects”.
The match
“Attitude helped us. It’s a shame we had to concede a goal for us to get into the game. To me that goal led me to change the initial approach we made as they were doing us a lot of damage inside and at the back. We changed the position of Dominika, who went from playing behind Laura to in front. Then our goal was the reward for the risk they took and our good work in pressuring them”.
Next match
“The worst match I remember in a long time was precisely in San Sebastián against Real. This game has to be remembered. This made us change our mindset. Now we have to remain with those good feelings and stand up to Real, as I believe with our hard work and doing things right, we’ll be able to achieve something positive”.
Hosts
“We’ve been treated so well by the hosts here, I’d like us to see you again here next year”.
