The Málaga CF captain, who scored the team's opening goal in Antequera, was one of the protagonists in the mixed zone. “What I liked most was our performance in defence, the team was pretty solid,” he stressed.
Scorer of the first goal
“We had a couple of chances, two corners, we came close with the set piece. Yet I gained possession and slammed the ball into the net.”
Personal performance
“The sensations are good and scoring a goal alongside our fans is a huge motivation. I’m so proud.”
Objective fulfilled
“We won the three points and kept a clean sheet. That is our weekly goal, that is what we work for and thank God we achieved it in the derby.”
Humble
“Remaining humble is one of the hallmarks of this season. Now let's think about the Copa del Rey, rest and recover the injured players.”
Chats with Juanpe
“At breakfast this morning I told Juanpe I would score. It may sound cliché, but I'm going to have breakfast with him every weekend now.”
Team analysis
“What I liked most was our performance in defence, the team was pretty solid.It was a bit tricky for us to adapt to the terrain, but we knew what Antequera was going to propose, they were going to have the ball. We knew how to interpret those moments of being in three quarters of the field, holding on, and we piled the pressure on when necessary.We knew how to steal the ball, we had a couple of forced errors that we took advantage of with Kevin's goal and it was spectacular. Larrubia also had one. This is just a sample of today's work.”
Standings
“It's going to seem like the cliché of the season, but we focus solely on ourselves. Today because we played after Castellón and Ibiza, who are both on top. It’s only about us. If they had won, we also had the obligation to win, which is what we thought about all week.”
His best moment
“Yes, you could say that I am in my best moment. Let's hope that the entire squad has its best moment, and we continue moving upwards.”
The goal
“It was a dead ball and we had to seal the deal. You have to be ready and get there.”
