Alfonso Herrero had a few words for the media after the #MálagaRealOviedo match. “I’m happy to help the team, which played well against a great rival,” said the Blue and White captain.
Personal and collective
“I'm happy to help the team earn a point. Above all, I want to support Antoñito. He has the backing of the entire dressing room. Those who take penalties are the ones who miss. It takes a lot of courage for a young player to step up and take them... What happened today serves as a learning experience. I’m pleased to help the team, which played well against a fantastic rival. We’re eager to earn three points, the team is more than ready to secure that victory. Now we have a marathon of matches ahead, and we're going for the next one.”
Match analysis
“It was a match with a lot of back and forth. I enjoy watching and experiencing them, you suffer a bit more, but I’m glad that both teams showed their cards. We managed to handle the pressure they applied well, and in the end, we had some good chances. I’m happy because the team always steps up, that’s a hallmark of this group. With this kind of effort, victory will surely come.”
Confidence
“Today, we needed to convert the penalty, and we didn’t manage to do that. The team is doing a lot to get ahead and win matches. I believe we train well, we know how we want to play, and we have good players in this league who can provide that extra boost. We have a young team, sometimes we lack experience in certain aspects, but I’m not worried. I know this league, and victories will come.”
