The coach from Nules referred to the Malaguista fans at the beginning of his press conference. “I ask the fans and all the people who have come here for forgiveness. It’s a very hard day,” he stated.

“We’ve been at the limit for a long time. It’s about the details. Except for the time in Andorra, we’ve done many things well. Today we haven’t had a good day. We lacked a lot of calm. We were on the way to fighting, and now we have to calm down and ask for forgiveness. My thought is to 'reset' a bit and in these three games fight for the remaining nine points,” he commented.

Pellicer continued with his analysis of the 2-0 defeat: “We tried, but there is no excuse. I have to take maximum responsibility. The players tried, but I think we lacked energy against the rival, to pile the pressure on them, play in the other half. It was not a matter of order, but of energy.”

The Blue and White coach, who admitted that today is a very difficult day at a professional level, is only thinking about “winning against Mirandés. It’s fighting for the impossible and dignifying our profession each day. Each player must give their best, train at the highest level and fight for the three points. Fighting because there are many very hurt people behind the scenes, and in the face of that feeling, we must work as hard as we can,” he added.

Finally, he reiterated his message of apology and thanks to the fans. “It's something incredible. We have to apologise. We are trying. Thank you. The focus is now on the Mirandés game. We know the situation, it is what it is. Today is a very hard day,” he concluded.
