La Rosaleda will beat again this Saturday. After spending a year and a half in silence, the stands will once again welcome the songs and support from Malaguismo. Blue and white fans can still buy their tickets (prices between 10 and 25 euros) online on the club's website. The club will enable some 7,500 localitiess for a meeting that will not be a typical summer test. It is the litmus test prior to the start of the competition. Malaga and Tenerife will measure their projects one week before the league premiere (21:00).
José Alberto took a legion of homegrown players to Los Cármenes this Friday (3-1) and he saved most of his cards for tonight's game. Only Juande, Paulino, Alexander González and Ismael Casas were in the duel against Granada, so, a priori, the eleven against Tenerife will be similar to the one provided by the Asturian coach in the official debut against Mirandés next August 16.
The game will serve to see the premieres as malaguistas of Dani Martín and Peybernes, follow the evolution of the newcomers Brandon, Javi Jiménez and Ismael Gutiérrez and check the state of cooking of José Alberto's method, still in the making. The coach is very clear about the Malaga he wants and against Tenerife we will be able to see how much his new proposal has taken root to date.
Tenerife, meanwhile, has traveled to Malaga with several sensitive casualties, although none of serious importance. Ramis displaced 22 footballers, but among them Alex Muñoz and Aitor Sanz (muscular overload) are not there, nor Shaq Moore (he has just arrived on the island after winning the Gold Cup with the United States). Added to them are the already known absences of José León (plantar fasciitis), Nahuel and Javi Alonso (both operated on their knees) and the discarded Joselu and Alberto (not included in the plans).
Thus, Ramis has returned to pull from the quarry and there are several young people who will be in La Rosaleda, the vast majority of offensive profile (Jorge, Ethyan, Dylan, Thierno), since today there are no forwards available. The seven signings that have arrived for now have reinforced, for the most part, the defensive plot.
The insulares, who remain undefeated this summer (one victory and three draws), will also take advantage of this appointment to outline the possible eleven of the first day against Fuenlabrada. Despite the absences, the blue and white coach has quality footballers in all his lines, highlighting Sam Shashoua, the most destabilizing.
