Uche: “I’m happy with my debut, and now I must keep working”

The striker played his first minutes as a Malaguista at El Madrigal: “We tried but couldn’t achieve what we wanted.”

Uche

Hard work with no reward

“We couldn’t achieve what we wanted but we were up against a big team who are where they are for a reason.  Our team worked well and tried hard but it wasn’t to be.  We need to try and improve our positive aspects before the next match.”

Debut as a Malaguista

“I’m happy with my debut and returning to what was my home for three years.  Now we’re heading back to Málaga to continue working, in order to achieve the results that we want.”

Next match

“We’re going to approach the game knowing that Real Madrid isn’t just another rival, so we need to work hard and remain focused throughout play.”

 

Pablo

Better in the second half

“In the second half we created more danger than the rival, and although we didn’t manage to equalise, we performed better than we did at the beginning.”

Total availability

“I’ve come from playing inside as a midfielder or playmaker, but when all I want to do is be on the pitch, and if the coach thinks I’m capable of doing what he wants doing, then I’m ready to play in whatever position he tells me to at any moment.”

Return to his birth place: Castellón

“It’s been a wonderful day being here, with all my family and friends at the stadium.  I’m proud to be from here, and see my family watch me play.”
