The Blue and White coach appeared before the media at La Rosaleda, the day before #MálagaNumancia. “We need to view this match as if it were a Cup final”, he said.
Reflect the daily work in matches
“We need to score the three points. With the exception of the last game, we’ve been far closer to victory, but everything the rivals do shouldn’t matter to us as the most important thing is us. We have to convey all the work undertaken in training during the week in the match. We can train very well yet you don’t see it in the games. What we see in the day to day must be transferred to the game, that’s how we’ll win the three points”.
CD Numancia’s qualities
“To know Numancia, we have to look at their performance from before; the match Málaga played there, that’s Numancia. They pile the pressure on, they’re intense and have quick transitions”.
The responsibility of being Málaga CF
“We have the enthusiasm and obligation of being Málaga Club de Fútbol. As such we should feel more responsibility than the other teams. Málaga is a great team in every sense, and now we’re in a situation where, despite the circumstances, we need to think like a small team in terms of defending, having that passion, that hunger…and then be who we are. Seeing this game as a final, we need to view every match as if it were a Cup final, that’s our intention”.
