Analysis of the victory
“It was one of our most complete performances, and what we liked most was taking the lead, staying solid throughout, and continuing to push forward. We had a good first half and could have gone into the break with more goals. Then we scored the third at the start of the second half. It had to be like that in such a difficult stadium. The last time I was at the Carranza, I conceded three, and today I was lucky to come here with these beasts.”
Great performance by Dani Lorenzo
“What’s happening to us is because we have very good players. They’ve been showing they have immeasurable talent, but we also do great work off the ball. That’s even more decisive because there are 90-plus minutes of work without the ball and only three or four with it. We adjusted our pressing very well, taking the game where we wanted it, and that gave talented players like Dani the chance to make us enjoy the match.”
Fans' crucial support
“Matches have many circumstances. I want to thank everyone who came, they really enjoyed the team. It’s important that we all enjoy what’s happening, the present. Sometimes we get excited about what might happen, but we have to enjoy it so we don’t miss it. It’s an immense joy to see so many Malaguistas enjoying themselves. We’ve had a certain advantage in the derbies. In Córdoba, I felt like I was playing at La Rosaleda, and today, and in Granada as well. That makes a difference in the competition.”
Always match by match
“We are contenders, last week to win in Cádiz, and this week to win against Leganés. We don’t know what circumstances we’ll face in the competition, so we have to make sure everything that happens is positive. We must focus with great care on the next match, and that’s how things go better. The way to make what comes next positive is to finish the next game well. We have to enjoy the week, enjoy the Cádiz match. When the Leganés game comes, people should enjoy the match that has been played. That’s what has brought us this far, week after week. We say it with conviction, and we have to stay true to this idea. That’s what will make us enjoy the competition even more.”
Niño and Dotor
“In football, there are things that happen to you that you can’t control. Adri played a good match the other day, and we have three very good forwards in the league. Adri is going to join the national team, we’ll play two matches, and it was important that those who stay find a better situation. Getting minutes today can give them positive feelings. Adri’s situation wasn’t for any other reason. What does worry us is Carlos, that’s the negative note of the match. We’re monitoring his progress, and for now, we’re concerned.”
Footballing Carpe Diem
“I’ve told the players to enjoy what they’ve achieved. It’s our merit, not Cádiz’s lack of it. They are going to take a step forward, we saw adjustments last week that we liked, they are a truly great team built for higher goals. Give credit to our work and wish Cádiz luck as the Andalusian team they are.”
Dotor’s injury
“Carlos’ issue seems like it could be his collarbone. We’ll see when we run tests tomorrow. We’re very concerned and can’t speculate right now. The big step in quality is imposing ourselves away from home, not just in terms of results, but also in our style of play. We play as if we’re at home, we don’t sit back, we go after the game, and we don’t wait. We’ve done it many times before, and today we did it for a long period. Being able to show ambition and make things happen is what I liked most about the team. We still have six more away matches, and we have to approach them the same way, with behaviours similar to how we play at home.”
