Málaga-Castellón
“I am very focused on the match. It is the most difficult one left for us due to the profile of the rival. They want things to happen, and we also want things to happen. It will be a back-and-forth game, and we will have to manage it tactically, physically, and emotionally, knowing how to deal with all situations. It will be a very thrilling match, and we will try to hurt them; we are similar in some aspects, and we need to have that game plan for different situations. And we want to find that magic of La Rosaleda.”
Reaction capacity
“In the last match, we took that blow, and the team knew how to react. It was a turning point, but we need that victory, and we’re missing that little extra to become a more winning team. This is the most important phase of the season right now, and it’s a time for the collective effort to come before the individual.”
At 100%
“Now we have Castellón and two home games with our fans. We want everyone to be at 100%. Last year, having that depth in the squad was key. It’s not the time to risk a player's health. I think, first and foremost, about the player’s health.”
Collective
“Now the collective comes first. The grades come at the end of the season. There is one goal for everyone, which is to win. Distractions don’t help on an individual level. We want to be precise in front of our fans, it’s going to be a thrilling match, and we’ll see who will be more precise. That speed of precision will make the difference.”
Fans
“We have to be ourselves. The magic of La Rosaleda is seen when the team transmits it. Last year, against Celta, that match was won by La Rosaleda. Against the toughest opponent there was. Everything goes through La Rosaleda. In the small details, we have to be ourselves and be prepared, whether the score is in our favour or against us. We have one of the best fanbases there is.”
