2-0 analysis
“The start of the match wasn’t good for us. They went ahead very early, and it changed the game. Leganés expected us to press higher, so we had to attack in very tight spaces and defend in very wide ones. They felt very comfortable. We had a lot of possession, but it wasn’t effective, and just when we were playing our best, they scored that second goal from their push. We just have to keep pushing. We’re a team that tries to do good things, but our crisis comes when we play away from our stadium. It’s something we need to fix, and we can’t continue like this.”
Crisis away from home
“We have a results crisis when we play away from home. When we leave Málaga, we’re a very soft team. I am ultimately responsible. I need to give a lot of support to the players and take responsibility myself. I have to be self-critical. The team tries, has soul, plays good football, but away from our stadium, we can’t go on like this.”
Change of script
“You leave the match full of anger, because everything changes in the third minute. When the other side goes ahead, clearer situations arise, and we haven’t had that precision. The attitude is good, but we’re making mistakes. In terms of results, away from our stadium, we can’t continue in this way.”
Difficult month
“We’re coming off a difficult month. It’s a crisis away from our stadium. I am ultimately responsible. Now we return to playing at home. This year, taking a step forward is still very far off. The immediate goal is to avoid suffering and reach 50 points. We need to understand the fans, show maximum empathy, we’re a big club. We should have been contenders to fight for bigger things than last year, and right now, we aren’t able to take that step.”
Differences home and away
“We’re lacking energy, precision, determination, conviction, physical intensity… Things that don’t happen at La Rosaleda. It’s the same team that played against Dépor and had a spectacular match. Every small setback we face, we’re not able to recover from. We’ll have to look for solutions.”
