A good match

“It’s important to recognise that the team played a great match at an incredibly difficult ground, against a somewhat needy Real Madrid. I think we knew how to compete as equals, even the 0-0 made them feel very uncomfortable”.

Inconvenience the rival

“When you make the opponent feel that you’re generating goal opportunities, and make constant approaches, it makes them feel uncomfortable on the pitch, as well as the entire stadium. Whilst you’re never happy in defeat, the way in which the team lost leaves a certain peace of mind as we continue working during the week”.

Way forward

“This is the way forward, this way we’ll achieve more positive results than negative ones. During the little time I’ve been here, I know my teammates and I feel very relaxed about what we did today, and what we could do in the future”.

Second debut with Málaga CF

“I’ve only been in training for three days, it’s difficult to leave the bench with a three or four-minute warm-up against this rival. The match was alive, electric, back and forth, but when you’re in the right frame of mind and really enjoy it, it makes things far easier. I’m thrilled to be here and I think barring any injuries, I’ll be able to help the team”.
