Niño: “We approached it with the same enthusiasm, but it didn’t happen”
The Málaga CF forward spoke after the defeat at El Prado. “We’re now fully focused on LaLiga. We have a very important home match on Monday with our fans,” he said.
Strong second half from the rival
“They went ahead, scored two goals, and it’s difficult to turn a game around when the fans are behind them. They kept pressing and showing fight in the match. It’s a very important game for them. The first goal lifted the stadium, and we dropped a bit, and then the second came from a rebound.”
The team wanted the win
“It was a different match (from the league). A Copa game against a lower-division opponent. We came to try to play as we always do. It didn’t happen. We approached it with the same enthusiasm and the same desire, but it just didn’t come off.”
Another goal
“I have to score goals to help the team. Today didn’t amount to much, but it helps me keep building confidence.”
Focused on Real Zaragoza
“Now we’re fully focused on LaLiga. We have a very important home match on Monday with our fans.”
