Facing up to things
“Playing these matches, particularly at home, is very difficult. The day against Real was the same circumstance, we took the lead and it was a different type of game. Playing or having minutes in these games is not a gift. It’s when you have to appear professional and face up to things”.
Andrés Prieto
“We have a very good goalkeeper in Andrés. We weren’t lucky today, they defined well. The goal chances he had the opportunity to save, he saved. Roberto is a great keeper, but Andrés deserves to live these experiences and start competing”.
#MálagaAlavés
“I don’t think Betis or Real thought Málaga had reached the bottom. It’s time to keep our heads down and roll with the punches. I am already penanced. You cannot imagine what it feels like to be 0-3 down from the dugout, whilst fighting for dignity. It’s extremely tough, it was a match we should have started winning. We were aware how they play behind the back, which led to the the first and third goal. We shouldn’t have gone behind in this game. Playing at 0-1 is hard. That said, I think we created sufficient chances to level up the game”.
Children’s Day
“The father or mother that came to watch the match today is there to sow Malaguismo and enjoy the game with their child, so they can grow up believing in these colours and this shield. The last thing a Malaguista wants at this time is to reproach the players. We fell behind which led to the nerves setting in. The rival was very comfortable on the pitch. I believe we deserved the 1-1 in numerous situations. We could summarise the season that way. Ibai cuts in and scores with the left foot, his bad leg. We had Bastón in a one-on-one and we failed. There’s a bit of everything, but we are the ones to blame”.
