Santa Cruz: “This has to strengthen us further”

Following the Málaga-Granada match, ‘Malaguista’ players, Roque Santa Cruz and Juankar Pérez appeared in the mixed zone at La Rosaleda stadium, to analyse the 2-2 draw against Granada.

Santa Cruz

“It was a match in which we worked very well.  It was difficult however to play for 30 or 40 minutes with a man down after the expulsion.  We gave our all to please our fans, but we didn’t reap the rewards following all our hard work and the fact that we played a good match.”

“We’re hopeful that this will strengthen us further and make us more together so we can keep growing as a group.  These situations happen however, and will reinforce our bond as a team so we can move forward.”

Juankar

“After being two goals up, the expulsion conditioned the rest of the match.  We did a good job, particularly as we were a player down for a long time, but we are hurt and disappointed as the fans were right behind us tonight and we couldn’t give them the three points.”

“From a personal point of view, myself and my teammates will continue working and giving our all.  I hope this situation changes, so we will soon have good fortune and things will start going well for us.”
