"I think that tomorrow is going to be a nice game, especially with the dynamics of the two teams, which to me, are who are amongst the best players in La Liga," commented Juanito who was a Real player throughout his career. "I have a bittersweet memory, as a club, I am clear that Real are a big Club through the values they transmit, but athletically things did not work out well."

Regarding Javi Gracia's Malaga, coincidentally a former player of the San Sebastián side, the legend highlighted that "they are always testing games, at the beginning of the season they bettered defensively and now with more chances, more goals and always competing one on one".

Juanito, is currently head coach of the Infantil Autonómico of MCF that is in 1^st place in the Andalusian League. "I have always dedicated myself to football. I studied and received the title of sporting director and coach, then, Arnau called me to train in the academy. You are with boys of 13 or 14 years of age, we are learning and also teaching. Malaga’s La Academia is a force to be reckoned with on a national level, one of the four or five best in terms of results" he says. "The fact that there are ex-players training at the academy, helps the youngsters grow and identify themselves with the staff". The Malagueño later said “I for example arrived here when I was 9 in Alevines, I later progressed, but it's about being lucky, being in the right place at the right time. We transmit that it is very difficult, but it is possible". Finally, despite his appreciation of Real, "and especially for Almeria, who gave me so much", Juanito has open preferences tomorrow at Anoeta: "I'm from Málaga and above all Malaguista. Prediction 1-2 ".
