Muñiz: “The union between the team and the fans could be key”

The Málaga CF coach attended to the media two days before welcoming the rival from Pamplona to La Rosaleda: “Osasuna are going to demand our highest level”.

“It’s a tremendous match, on that we all agree. It’s a very good game of this category, pitting two great teams from the top part of the table against one another, both fighting for important objectives. Definitive? Not for the team that wins nor the one that loses. There are still a lot of points at stake, however these are important. As you approach the end of the season, the points gain more importance. We are aware of this situation. From the start of the season we knew that these matches would come, in which we’re playing for such an important goal in terms of points and the standings. They have to be fought for in the way the match deserves”.

Fans

“The fans are extremely important. The other day in Córdoba we saw our fans really get behind the team. We hope the same will happen again. A large part of achieving the objective comes from La Rosaleda, the atmosphere and the players’ state of mind thanks to the fans’ support. There are many home games, many points to play for. If we can make ourselves strong at La Rosaleda and score the three points, the progression in the table will not go unnoticed. The atmosphere that can be created in the stadiums, particularly when you’re playing at home, is crucial. During the tough times the fans push you forward”.

“It’s essential to maintain a high level of concentration and focus. When you face a match, you have to be at your highest level, if not it’ll be hard to get the points, especially against a team like Osasuna, who are going to demand our highest level. They have very good intensity, pace of play and speed. All things that help them to win matches and stay focused. Osasuna will demand that we perform very well in every aspect if we want to overcome them”.
