Statements to MCFTV

Alonso Mena, Councillor for Sport, Benahavís

“The Sports and Culture week was born with the idea that in the football school more importance would be placed on other aspects, such as education in values or the visit of players like Adrián, who sets an example. After so many years of mutual collaboration, we had representation from two people. Málaga CF is very important to us, because of the impact it has”.

Adrián González

“It’s always positive, it’s wonderful to spend time with them as they teach you things and help you remember things from the past. Benahavís has a strong commitment to the Club, and it’s a joy to share this time with them”.

Víctor Sánchez del Amo

“I am profoundly grateful to the culture of sport. I believe the sports culture is the best environment from which we can learn all about the status of society to improve as individuals and better the relationships between people. The culture of sport is a great example of all kinds of values and methods of work to enhance performance”.
