Nelson Monte: “We played a very complete game from the first minute”
The Malaguista spoke after the 1-0 victory at La Rosaleda. “We need to seek our best version every day; it’s three points, another clean sheet, and 20 points,” he stated.
Very special goal
“I'm very happy with the goal, but mainly with the victory. I was really looking for that goal, and scoring at La Rosaleda feels particularly special.”
Great win
“Happy with the victory and the performance the team put in. We played a very complete game from the first minute, going for the win. We didn’t give Cartagena any opportunities.”
Narrow result
“We had a few chances in both the first and second halves, but I'm happy with the performance. We deserved another goal to calm the fans down. It ended 1-0, but I leave with the feeling that we could have scored another.”
A happy La Rosaleda
“The fans are leaving happy with the performance we put in today. If you ask me if I want to win 3-0 every game, I’ll say yes. But it's three points, another clean sheet, and 20 points. We still need 30 more to achieve our goal.”
Cordero, one more member of the team
“I ask the fans to be patient with him, he’s only 17 years old. He’s given us so much, both last year and this year. He can still give us a lot, and we have a lot of confidence in Cordero. Have patience, I hope he stays with us because I care about him a lot. And I hope he has a happy ending.”
Soul, ambition and confidence
“This team has soul. It’s hungry for more. I have a lot of trust in my teammates, the coaching staff, and the club has made the effort to maintain last year’s core, and we’re responding. But tomorrow is another day, and we need to work for the three points in Zaragoza.”
