Duda: “We knew how to react and fight until the end”

Málaga CF captain, Sergio Paulo Barbosa ‘Duda’, held a press conference at La Rosaleda’s press room today. “Eighth place depends on us.”

Eighth place

“I think the level we’ve shown has been good.  At the beginning of the season, we set the objective of permanency.  Now we have a goal that depends on us, which is securing eighth place.”

Personally satisfied

“From a personal aspect I’m very happy, as I’ve fulfilled expectations for another year.  I’ve enjoyed minutes on the pitch, being part of line-ups and achieving our objectives.  I’m thrilled we worked together to fulfil our goals, and will continue to do so.”

Great reaction by the team

“We had some difficult times at the start of the season, but the team has been able to take the big hits, react well and fight until the end.  Our day to day work reaped rewards, and we can enjoy the last game of the season fighting for eighth place.”

Las Palmas

“They are a tough rival, who also have options to claim this position.  However, at our ground, we want to give our fans a great match.  I hope we can all enjoy the final game.”

Sheikh Al Thani | Score of the season

“I’m pleased he’s here with us.  He’s also had people by his side who have been supporting us day to day, so we’ll try our best to make him happy.  I’m sure the Club will continue to grow and he’ll be with us.  Score of the season?  An ‘8’.”
