Algeciras CF
“They are one of the strongest rivals in the group at home, they are having an outstanding season at their ground. In the first leg we had a good first half and in the second we competed. This is a match that they prepare in a different way, with extra motivation for the team, coach and fans; it’s what the shield means. We’re focused on the three points. It will be a very difficult game similar to the one against Sanluqueño.”
The standings are tight
“Our goal is to achieve all we can and ensure we’re celebrating at the end of the season, whether directly or through matches. Ten games ago no one believed, all the rivals put the pressure on us. We were very far from the top, we have to enjoy it. We have earned the opportunities with hard work and the performance of the players. We have to control our emotions, we have the experience of the first round. We need to win, there is a long way to go, and the moment of truth is coming. Now we’re positioned to fight for everything, we’ll continue fighting for that dream that was unreachable 10 matches ago.”
Final stretch
“We approach it with a lot of responsibility and energy. That connection in La Rosaleda between what the fans transmit and the players is very important. Thank you to all the fans. We have arrived at the moment of truth, many thought that we would not be on this train. The key is day to day training, the goal is still far away. That will give us that quality to achieve the objective.”
120 years of Malaguismo
“It’s wonderful, just to say 120 years of history has many feelings and a great legacy behind it. Much suffering and many joys. Now we have to live in the present, there are three ways to honour this: with work, honesty and giving everything for the shield; that no one can blame us for anything. The Club is doing very well. We hope to give our best with this story, because the people and the Club deserve it.”
Chemistry in the dressing room
“It’s important that there is unity, you have to know how to differentiate. Doing your profession with friends, with your second family, gives a different connection than doing it with strangers. We are forming a family.”
