Good time for the team

"We are well, which is what concerns us. We are working well, in recent matches we have taken a point as a reward but it is true that we were facing substantial rivals, the team is emotionally very strong at the moment”.

Real Sociedad-Malaga

"I don't think it will be an especially closed down match. I think that it will be different, there are going to be situations where we will be forced to make good defensive decisions against their tactical and set piece plays. We will have our opportunities to attack; they are not a rival that usually sits back. I hope that the game will not be a closed down one".

Atsu returns to first team action.

"Christian Atsu is now available; he has trained all week with normality. His feelings have always gone ahead of what the tests had said, he is fit, well and problem free, that is why he is in the squad".

Renewal of Pablo Fornals

"The renewal of Pablo is present and future. In that future I think that he is a player who is going to contribute a lot to the Club and also going to do so at national level. He is in very good condition as we can all see and has inner strength to be a good professional and to improve. It will undoubtedly lead him to success."
