Javi Gracia: “We’ve again been true to who we are”

The Málaga CF coach analyses today’s match against Córdoba in the Juan Cortés press room at La Rosaleda: “Everything came together: the game play, the winning goals, players’ skill level and the fans.”

Javi Gracia is “very pleased with this result, having come from feelings of negativity, but today we’ve again been true to who we are.  It’s great to see the players once again back at this level, which takes us another step closer to what we all expected from them and what we are seeing now.  The fans were thrilled at the end of the match.  The identification with the team is incredible and I hope it stays with us for the rest of the season, so we can enjoy many more matches like this one.”
 
Córdoba CF posed a difficult rival: “They were desperate to gain points to move up the table, and therefore looked for alternatives, which is why they increased presence in midfield.  It made things tough for us.  It’s not easy to overcome such a defensive display as the rival showed today.”
 
This was a well-deserved victory for Málaga CF for “the game that we played, the initiative we took, the goal chances we created, the two goals and the situations surrounding the goals.  I think we could have scored more.  I wish the rival the best, but I think we deserved victory today.”
