Building confidence
“Keeping the enthusiasm alive is very important, and we have that enthusiasm. We understand this is an extremely important project, a wonderful opportunity to return Málaga to the First Division, we have that enthusiasm and we believe in it. That feeling is conveyed and is contagious, we can also see the positivity within the group. Our objective is to build confidence, when the results don’t go your way the first thing that is impacted is the confidence of the players, individually, collectively, among everyone around us, and it takes a lot of work to build confidence”.
Optimism and excitement
“The preparation perspective of this game is all with a super positive focus and a great deal of enthusiasm. Especially with the challenge we’ve set, which is to win all the remaining games. The team already knows how it feels to win five consecutive matches, they did it this season; we need to win seven, we’ve already won one, and have six left. The players are convinced of it, it’s not been hard to convince them when they’ve already won five in a row. From now until the end of the season, with an objective as exciting and motivating as First Division promotion, the possibility we have keeps our strength and energy up to affront it”.
Team and fans
“We’re incredibly surprised and very grateful as everyone’s willingness to work is tremendous. In regard to the fans, we know their support will ensure the team and fans are connected; for us it’s a challenge and an objective that La Rosaleda becomes a fortress. We want to win all the matches, not let any points escape, starting with the three up for grabs on Saturday”.
RCD Mallorca
“A team who has been performing extremely well, with a very good run of results in the last 10 games. The players have the capacity to tip the balance of play upfront, on the wings and with an outstanding centre forward with great mobility and interesting direct play. The team combines a lot and has variety, with the possibility of combinative play with players such as Salva Sevilla, and also has the ability to play long with that player upfront and other speedy players. It will be an incredibly hard-fought game, but our objective is to win all our matches and we’re going to fight for each and every one of them. Our determination to achieve our goal must also lead us to overcome all our adversaries. We’ve taken the specifics of this rival into account in our preparations, and are now awaiting the match”.
Final point
“The only thing we’re concerned about is winning our seven matches. If we win our seven matches, we are convinced we’ll be in the First Division”.
