Gabilondo: “It’s important to earn a point when you can't win”
The Malaguista player held a press conference after the Primera Federación matchday 27 game. “Thanks to the fans for their support. Not only in these games, but throughout the season,” he commented.
Even match with options for both sides
“It was a very tightly contested match. We knew the context of the game would be like this. They came in with good momentum, just like us. Despite it being a tight match, both teams had opportunities. There was also controversy, which I believe we could have won. It's important to earn a point when you can't win.”
Controversial action
“The images are there. At the time we also thought it was a penalty. Javi arrived first and the defender hit his foot. Although it’s not always the case, it's true that games can be decided based on details such as this.”
Strength of the team
“I don't see it as a setback. The feelings are still positive. You can't expect to be as sharp or effective in front of the goal in every game. At a different point in the season, we might have given a different performance. The team understood the game well. When you can't secure a win, it's crucial to earn points. We kept a clean sheet.”
A good rival and a tough ground
“Atlético Sanluqueño went out there with a very positive dynamic. We’d seen footage of them, they're a team that plays very well. We knew what kind of game it would be. The result might be a bit misleading; it was an entertaining match. They have been performing well, in a very positive dynamic. Perhaps we weren't as sharp as we’ve been at other times. However, we performed well, had opportunities to win, and understood how to approach the game.”
A very difficult final stretch of the season
“It’s frustrating notwinning, but everyone is finding it hard to secure victories. Towards the end of the season, everyone fights for their aspirations and goals. Until the end, every match will be very challenging.”
Focused on next Sunday
“Next week brings a different context to the match. We’re back home, and the fans will support us once again, as they’ve been doing in recent matches. We are focused on the next game and on giving our best until the end of the season.”
Unconditional support
“We want to thank everyone for the support they've been showing us, not only in these games, but throughout the season. We need them more than ever because the exciting part is around the corner. The most crucial part of the season is here now. We all need to stay united as we've been showing. Let's fight together.”
