Alexander González has been officially presented as a new Málaga player. The right side signs until June but your contract includes an option to extend the commitment until 2022, as revealed by the blue and white sports director, Manolo Gaspar: “It is a clause for player objectives for which he could renew for one more season. But they are his goals that he has to meet”.
Gaspar also confirmed that they are waiting to receive the transfer from the Venezuelan international: “We are with the exchange of documentation, we depend on the Spanish and Romanian federation. Everything is underway, the procedure is underway in the Federation's tools. Right now the whole process is not completed because They are complicated dates and we hope to have it as soon as possible”.
Except for surprise or unexpected market movement, the signing of Alexander González will be the only one made by Malaga in this window, since it has covered the 18 professional chips that LaLiga allows. “We do not have news of having any more files, at the moment. For that part we have no more to do. If you come throughout this market month, welcome and if not, those of us who are here are the ones who are going to move forward until the end ”, explained Manolo Gaspar.
The footballer, in turn, responded to all the questions raised by the media:
Happy for your signing for Malaga: “Grateful for the opportunity and being able to find a solution for the club. What they have told me was not a lie, it is all true. I want to contribute my grain of sand to help from humility. I was impressed by the affection of everyone, that gives an important plus to work with. I come in a humble way to meet the objectives ”.
Why Málaga ?: “I had thought about staying in First in Europe, because I had a lot of Second. Then I went to Romania. To go back to Second it would be in a big club. And Malaga is Malaga, it has a lot of history behind it. It is a gigantic bet for Venezuelans here, many teammates have passed by who have spoken to me very well about the club, about the structure and it is what I needed at this time. A structure, a tranquility. Arrived here, the proximity of the institution is what a football player and a club need for their short-term projects ”.
Get to know the Costa del Sol: “I was in Benalmádena with my children, with my family, and you had many references of what it was like to live in Malaga.”
He has been unemployed for several weeks: “I have not competed for a month, but a short time without training. I have felt quite good in these training sessions, very adapted with the group and the coaching staff. Waiting to contribute. This is how we are going to grow ”.
Know La Rosaleda: “I mentioned it with a colleague. My first game when I came to Europe eight years ago was here. It was the first stadium that I hit full. Málaga played in the Champions League, I saw him in a corner and everything looked super small, Rondón played in that Málaga. Is incredible. The structure of the club is incredible, I didn't know it from the inside, although they had told me some references ”.
Goals: “I come with the desire to enjoy with this club and with all its fans, I hope it will be a long time and many years to be able to enjoy it a lot. And that illusion that has returned to me to be able to play in the First Division in Spain, is a wish, I left because I saw that the options were scarce and I have returned with that illusion of playing in the First Division ”.
Pellicer: “I've been here for four days, it's clear that the one who is arriving is me and the one who has to adapt to the team is the player. In this case my person. I have watched some videos to be as fast as possible. It is nothing new in the way I can adapt on some systems. I have a lot of good information from before ”.
Future plans: “I come with enthusiasm and desire to work. Hopefully at some point, distant or in the short term, celebrate a promotion, which is very nice because I have lived it. I hope it will be many more years, but that will be determined by the performance and the work that I can do. Now it is up to me to work and continue ”.
Tips: “I still have to learn all the names, I see that there are many players with the illusion of growing and doing it together with the club. The club is very big, but they want to grow with Málaga and take it where it deserves to be, which is in another division. It is true that for so long in the national team, I have spoken with colleagues and we talked about players, dressing rooms … but I did not know for sure what this institution was and how well structured it was. It has surprised me a lot and I hope to take advantage of every corner of La Rosaleda ”.
Lateral or lane ?: “I can adapt to any position, I can play as a right back, forward or winger. And I can play as a left back because in the national team I have played there at some point. I come to contribute, to be one hundred percent, and if I have to play central or '5', if it is to help the team, at my disposal. “
He played in the semifinals of the Cup with Mirandés: “I must be grateful for what I have had to live with. That semifinal of the Copa del Rey, with a humble team that wanted to grow. The only thing I need to live as a footballer is to play in the Spanish First Division, it's what I want the most. I have gone through all the competitions in America and Europe, but they are things that at the end of the race will have a very nice memory ”.
Selection: “I believe that at the moment my person must be one hundred percent in Malaga, not in the national team. It's too early to say something, anyone wants to play for their national team, but there are two or three months until the next game. In the last game I played every minute and we won and that gives you confidence to come back, but you have to keep working. From there, whatever has to come is welcome ”.
