Ambition to finish third
“Right now we have fourth place guaranteed. We have to go to Madrid, win and hope Ibiza lose. We have the mentality of being third and everything depends on getting the three points.”
Improvements after the win
“The team has gained confidence, we’ve increased in intensity and are more vertical, and as such we feel more comfortable. The team grows throughout the game when we take the lead on the scoreboard.”
The team believes
“Whenever there’s a victory, the storm calms a little. We were creating many chances, the results are what counts, but the team believes. It’s difficult to beat us and we have the mentality of achieving the objective. The playoff is very close and we have to do our best.”
Confident ahead of reaching the objective
“We were 100% confident in entering the playoff, we had no doubt. We continue to think that we are going to move up, this is the mentality we have. We have a good dressing room and communion with the fans. They are complicated games, but no Primera RFEF team has these fans, not even in the Second and almost not in the First Division.”
Tough rival to end the regular season
“We’re focused on Castilla as this is a match to continue improving the dynamics, there will be time to analyse the opponent we face.”
Motivation
“My only motivation is to enjoy promotion with Málaga, to return to the Second Division. It’s a very nice challenge for everyone, young people, Malaguistas and many veterans. We’re hopeful we’ll experience a great promotion.”
Performance
“I am happy with the performance, getting into the game a lot and playing many matches. I try to contribute, there are teammates who are playing very well. The fundamental thing is to push each other and give the best performance.”
A hungry group
“I see hunger amongst the team, there has never been any doubt in the dressing room. We are sure of what we do, convinced. There are good and bad streaks, we have to recover the good feelings and go for it in the playoff.”
