#AlbaceteMálaga

“We knew it was going to be a great match. Albacete are having a superb season, and that’s not by chance. Today the team needed to do many things well, and they played a match of maximum difficulty. We can only congratulate the players for the way in which they competed 11 against 11 and 10 against 11. It was an incredibly hard-fought match when we were down to 10 men, and very tense”.

Defence

“They are a highly capable rival in terms of launching shots to the area with the forwards they have, and how they make the most of second plays. We defended well, despite being down to 10 men”.

Summary

“As a summary of the game, you can talk about two parts; up until the 0-2 and after the expulsion. It wasn’t the same as the home match against Oviedo that we could continue to control, create opportunities and even score goals, here today it was far more difficult. In addition, with the rule there must be seven professional players, we couldn’t substitute players who had yellow cards, injury discomfort… it was a really tough match”.

Fans

“I want to congratulate the players for their magnificent performance, it was a great joy for the fans. They had organised a trip on Sunday, but because the match was moved to midweek, many fans were unable to come. We dedicate this victory to everyone”.

Positive trajectory

“We’re thrilled as the trajectory of the team is still moving up, and now we have a home game against Elche to ratify third place. We can say we have secured the play-offs, which is important. Now it’s time to recover well, prepare for the match against Elche, and then focus on the play-offs”.
