Pellicer: “This is not a time for words, but for action”
The Málaga CF coach spoke to the media this Thursday at La Rosaleda. “We want to get back to being who we are, a brave and daring team, to bring victory to our fans,” he stated.
Manu Molina and La Rosaleda
“(Manu) will be available for the squad, and from there, we’ll decide. No dwelling on regrets, but we must remember to avoid repeating the same situations. We need to break past the 40-point barrier. I see the boys in good shape, and the most important thing is to have mental security to play with determination. We must convey that confidence to connect with our fans. And that magic of La Rosaleda.”
Racing Club Ferrol
“I think they have their last chance here. Their last two victories were away from home, and they've been struggling at their own stadium, but we have the utmost respect and empathy for our opponent. Just because they have a low points tally doesn’t mean it will be easy. I’m fully focused on giving confidence to the boys and getting back to who we are, a brave, daring team that can bring victory to our fans.”
Realistic speech
“This is not a time for words, but for action and winning. It’s a tricky match, but I’m not worried about the future. Right now, it’s all about Ferrol. Along with Tenerife and Cartagena, they are in a very difficult situation, but we would be our own worst enemies if we thought this was an ‘easy’ game. We need everyone fully engaged.”
The fans and a tight match
“Reception on Saturday? I can only thank the fans, always. Criticism must be understood and met with empathy. We made a lot of people have a bad weekend, and that’s normal. I expect a match very similar to the one against Tenerife, a tight game where our performance with the ball will be crucial. We need to stay calm and avoid what happened in our last home game against Cádiz. The team is alive, even in difficult situations. We need to recover that magic and bring the fans back with us. Thank you to them, and we must be up to the standard and demands they set for us.”
