Málaga CF’s Manuel Iturra held a press conference after today’s training session at La Rosaleda stadium, ahead of Tuesday’s match against Eibar.

“We’re wary of all our rivals. I don’t think there’s such a thing as an ‘easy’ match, as we found out against Cacereño and Eibar, with the matches ending in a draw at the very last minute.  If we don’t maintain our concentration and intensity on the pitch, it’ll be tough for us to qualify.”
 
“The Deportivo match is in the past now; we’re totally focused on playing as well as we can in the three competitions, and are up against a tough rival tomorrow.  We’re turned the page and are looking ahead to the next game.”
 
“They’ve just played very well against Athletic de Bilbao, on a difficult pitch.  We’re looking forward to playing on front of our fans, who always support us.”
 
“The important thing is that we perform as well as possible tomorrow.  We’re playing host to a difficult rival, but we need to keep focused on moving forward in the competition.”

“We’re really eager to get out there and play.  We’ve got such a reduced squad, and everyone wants to play as many matches as possible.  It’s important that we continue on with the success of 2012, and prove that we’re all capable of playing excellent football for the remainder of the season.”
 
“Eibar always play very well on the attack, which is one of their best strengths.  We are determined to win this match on our home ground, although Eibar will be trying to take advantage of open spaces on the pitch in their search for goals.”
