Darko: “I want to help the team with my work; that ambition brought me here”

The new Málaga CF player was presented this Thursday at La Rosaleda Stadium. “I knew what it’s like to play here: the atmosphere, the stadium… Málaga is a great club,” he said.

Loren Juarros accompanied Darko Brašanac at his official presentation as the new Blue and White player. “We want to thank you for your willingness to join us. We know how excited you are to be here and that you will give us what we expect from you,” said the sporting director.

Choice

“I want to thank Málaga, Loren, and the coaching staff for believing in me. I hope we can achieve our goals together. Before making a decision, you have to consider many things, both on the sporting side and for your family, and here I found what I was looking for. Málaga is a top-division club, with great fans and a spectacular stadium; those details make it easier to take the step. I’m very happy to be here.”

Personal preparation

“I feel very good. I’ve prepared as best as possible, I did my own pre-season, and I’m happy with how I am. Physically, I feel very well and confident. Now it’s time to keep working and be ready to help the team.”

Getting up to speed

“Tomorrow I’ll be with the team. Day by day, I feel good physically, but you have to be patient. Training alone is not the same as training with the group. I’ve done a lot of work over the summer and have prepared to be in the best shape possible.”

Knows La Rosaleda experience

“I knew what it’s like to play here: the atmosphere, the stadium… Málaga is a great club. I feel that ambition to work hard every day and to want to win every match, and I like that. I had already played against Málaga, which helped me make my decision, and my family is happy too. I want to help with my daily work; that ambition is what made me decide to come.”

Position

“I feel comfortable as a ‘6’, an ‘8’, and also a ‘10’. I’m comfortable in different roles and with whatever the coach asks of me.”

Characteristics

“I’m a midfielder whose first priority is to help the team. I have 250 games in Spain, and with the experience I have, I’m sure I’ll be able to help the coach.”
