Iván Alejo: “I wanted to play in front of a crowd of this calibre”
The new Blue and Whites’ player was presented earlier today at the BeSoccer facilities, the official sponsor of the Club. “I’m an old school winger, fast and vertical”, he affirmed.
The right winger, who will wear the number ‘10’ jersey, was accompanied by José Luis Pérez Caminero during his press conference. “I welcome him here and thank him, as he had First Division offers and decided from the outset to go with us”, said the Malaguista sports director.

Arrival
“From the moment I started talking with Caminero and my agent told me there could be interest from Málaga, I said not to look at any more options as Málaga is a great club and I wanted to play in front of a crowd of this calibre. There were options from the First Division, but it was clear that I wanted to come here, and I thank the Club for making it possible”.
Objectives
“I want to find myself, as for different reasons I wasn’t able to have the participation I would have liked during the first stretch of the season. I’ve come here bursting with enthusiasm, excitement and hunger. I want to help Málaga and Málaga has to help me to feel important again so I can help the team achieve the objectives”.
Physical fitness
“Physically I’m fine, I haven’t had injuries this year, I’ve been training and am available to the coach to help the team”.
Last match
“I was at La Rosaleda and was able to enjoy the stadium and the atmosphere. The team has been focused on Las Palmas since Saturday and we must try and ensure the three points stay at home”.
Characteristics
“I’m an old school winger, I like to play close to the wing, fast and vertical and the one on one, these are my virtues”.
Sensations
“The sensations are very good, I’ve met a great group and a very united dressing room. The training sessions are high intensity and the coach told me to be myself and to use my characteristics for the benefit of the team”.
La Rosaleda
“My first match in the First Division was at La Rosaleda, with Eibar. It’s a nice memory and I hope to play many games here at this stadium. I’m here until the end of the season, I want to achieve the objectives set by the Club and we’ll see what happens”.
