José Alberto had a few words for the media following the first league win of the season for the Malaguista squad. “The team gave their all. Whenever this is the case, we’ll leave satisfied with the delivery and commitment. This is a very supportive team”, he said.

“We played a very good game. It’s tough to play against such a physical team like Alcorcón, with players who can cause you trouble from the set piece. The team defended very well and made come long, fast attacks and counter-attacks,” he said about the team in front of the Malaguista fans.

In regard to Málaga CF’s superiority during play, José Alberto commented: “We gave the game a lot of rhythm, there was a lot of rapid movement from side to side and many transitions. We chose the situations very well, which was key. The team worked so hard tonight, I’m thrilled for the win but I think we could have got more goals”.

Despite this victory, the team’s first of the season in LaLiga SmartBank, José Alberto believes there’s a lot of room for improvement. “We’ve got a long way to go, there are some players who have only had a few training sessions, others who have suffered with long-term injury, so we need to continue taking steps forward. It’s important to keep winning to have more time to work hard and fine-tune our ideas”, he said.

Giving greater importance to the collective than the individual, the Malaguista coach said the whole team played a magnificent game. “Each member of the team performed well, the players who have joined the squad contributed a great deal. This is the path we must follow, the team we have provides us with a lot of possibilities”.
