Press conference
Pellicer: “They hit first and felt more comfortable”

The coach, who suffered his first defeat in his four games at the helm of Málaga CF, reviews the 2-0 defeat against Elche in a post-match press conference: “The team stood up to the rival, but we wanted more”, he stated.

Simile with boxing

"Defeats are never good for anyone. Our idea was to go for the game, but the rival scored first and gained a lot of confidence. In the second half we readjusted a little, but Juankar’s injury cost us. It’s like a boxing match, they hit first and felt far more comfortable”.

Confidence and responsibility

"We must find more confidence being more solid and overcoming adversity. The team stood up to the rival, but we always want more, knowing the responsibility of this Club to which we belong, which is Málaga. We need to take a step forward”.

Competitive category

"From a sporting aspect we need to obtain as many points as possible, as the teams below are adding points. As we’re seeing, this category is incredibly competitive, and within a week we move from excitement to frustration. We’re upset at the moment, but we know that we have a great responsibility”.
