Press conference
Pellicer: “We have a very vibrant match coming up at La Rosaleda; I’m optimistic”

The Malaguista coach appeared at the post-match press conference after the draw against Celta Fortuna. “The fans deserve everything. That last action makes me very angry because they deserved that victory,” he said.

A great rival

“It was as expected, we knew the rival's potential. The statistics are there, they are the highest scoring team, very dynamic. This is a team that, when they go over the line and attack you, generate a lot of uncertainty. Above all, because of the inside game they have.”

Reaction and good match by the team

“I am left with how we knew how to react. In the first 15 minutes we lacked the ability to adjust various aspects of the pressure, which is where the goal play came from. Afterwards there were actions both for them and for us, the difference being the precision they have in that aspect. In the second half we started very well. The team reacted. We competed very well. The penalty was the last move.”

Satisfied with the performance

“I saw very important things from my team. Except for the beginning and the last action, which were very precise, but should have been necessary, I’m very happy with what the team showed and how we reacted. I leave very satisfied, except for the last action, in a scenario where everything is uncertain. How we reacted, how it was managed and the performance of the boys is very positive, knowing that the tie is 50-50.”

Bittersweet feeling with the late goal

“You leave with the feeling that you had a significant advantage, but we knew the rival's potential. We showed that we’re a good team, although there are things to improve. I am optimistic, if we continue like this and know how to manage.”

Exemplary fans

“We have a very vibrant, very beautiful and very passionate match coming up in front of our people at La Rosaleda, which will be packed. We hope to give that joy to our fans. These thousand brave supporters deserve everything. That last action makes me very angry because they deserved that victory.”
