“I think we deserved more, and we didn't deserve to lose. We made a mistake, we paid for it with their goal, and then it cost us the game. We did everything to turn it around, we were in their half for the entire second half, attacking all we could, but it was difficult for us to turn it around, we couldn’t manage it,” said the Blue and White player.

A week of three matches is coming up, the first at home. “We’ve already broken the losing streak, we’re conceding very little and always losing by the minimum. It’s a very important week for us, nine points are at stake, and it’s time to try to turn this situation around,” said Juanfran, aware of the current dynamic. “We know that Málaga cannot be as it is right now, we’re working on many things well and have to concentrate more on the little things that make us lose or not win games.”

Finally, he alluded to the fans: “We are not going to ask our fans for anything, they’ll support us how they always do, they never fail us. We want to give them a victory and allow them to breathe a little with the team”, he said about the upcoming match against Eibar.
