Ricca: “We have achieved two very important victories”

The Malaguista winger highlights the importance of securing two consecutive wins: “We’re very happy with our last two results. The fans always support us and they deserved a win like this”.

Two important victories

“We’re very happy with our last two results. All this time the group has been working very well, but this wasn’t being reflected in the results. Last week we achieved two very important wins. I’m delighted for all my teammates and for the fans who always support us and deserved a win like this”.

Happy to be back

“I haven’t played for a long time due to injury. It wasn’t easy, but thankfully I’m back now”.

United and strong

“When things don’t go well, what goes through a player’s head is an important aspect. As a group, we’ve always been united and strong, but the coach arrived and also worked on this aspect, which was important in lifting our spirits. The good results also help a great deal”.

Victory over FC Barcelona

“The first goal arrived at a very good moment. We were solid in defence. We needed to be a bit calmer when we regained the ball, and hit those first two or three passes to remove ourselves from the pressure of Barça. In one of their attacking plays, when we were well-positioned, we stole possession and were able to give ourselves the advantage. Later on, the second goal by Jony brought us peace of mind in the last minutes. You don’t see a match of this magnitude every day. I think it was superb, the whole team and dressing room were delighted”.

Match by match                                                                             

“These last two games have given us a little breathing room. We must keep working hard. There are still a lot of games remaining, and the mentality must be to continue to improve and get results. We’ll focus on each match at a time, and the focus now is on Deportivo de La Coruña and going for the three points”.
