Nelson Monte: “The team always stands tall”

The Portuguese centre-back, who previously played for UD Almería, spoke after the #AlmeríaMálaga match, highlighting the courage of his teammates “against a team built for promotion.”

Draw against a strong rival

“It was a very tough match, against a team built for promotion. We were brave, and this team never backs down in any game.”

Penalty against

“Strikers have an advantage with VAR nowadays. The decision has been made, so I can't say much more.”

Ambition

“We were losing 1-0, they scored the second, but we never lost faith in the match, and we wanted the three points. We kept pressing forward, and we don’t need to celebrate too much because we are Málaga, but we’re happy.”

Clear objective

“Our goal is to reach 50 points to calm people down. Usually, that guarantees safety.”

Suspended

“I got a yellow card in the first half, so I think Luismi and I will miss the next match. But I have full confidence in the squad, we're all ready to play.”

Hunger

“We came with the idea of winning, we wanted the third consecutive win at a very tough stadium. We’ll go for the three points against Cádiz to make this point worthwhile.”

Great team

“Full confidence in the team, what we do every day is reflected on the weekends. The team always stands tall in every match.”
