The Malaguista captain answered questions from the media following the match against SD Ponferradina. “We had to know how to suffer and work in the same direction. The team has done an immense job,” said the Malagueño midfielder.

Despite being aware of the team's situation, Alberto said that “the dressing room is euphoric. We’re aware of the situation and the work that lies ahead. With the effort we made in Zaragoza, these three points boost our confidence. There was a lot of involvement on the bench. The group that has been formed is great, although the results haven’t been going our way. Let's hope that this is a turning point, and we move forward,” he said.

“We need these types of matches. In others, every mistake punished us excessively and was cruel. At some point the inertia had to change. In Zaragoza, we earned a valuable point. Now this 1-0 win makes the team loosen up a bit, it takes the pressure off. Throughout the week we’ve viewed this match against Ponferradina as a final. Hopefully we'll take a leap of confidence,” the Malaguista number '23' commented on the team's dynamics in recent games.

Regarding the goal that gave the team the three points, Escassi affirmed that he experienced it “with great joy and euphoria. It was vital for the team and the fans, for them to be with us. Thanks to the goal, the team has gained confidence and has known how to suffer. The team played a very good game,” he stated.
