‘Pacha’ Espino, Cádiz's left-back, has analyzed the season for the club's official media. The Uruguayan has highlighted the victory in San Mamés along with those that the yellow team starred in against Barça and Real Madrid. Regarding his first season in LaLiga Santander, Espino is happy, but he continues to have ambition and only contemplates improving personally for the next campaign.
Balance of the season. The brave Uruguayan full-back highlighted above all that “we saved ourselves four dates before, we won several important games at the beginning and the victories against Madrid and Barcelona were very important.” He added that “when we conceded a lot of goals it was against great teams, and that would be the worst of the season.”
Personal balance. He was clear when stating that “the balance is good. To be my first year in LaLiga Santander I think it was good and I will try to improve next year ”.
A moment of the course. Reviewing the campaign he is left with “the victory in San Mamés. It was very good because they threw two players out of us and we had to suffer a lot. Also the match in Granada, which although I was not there, we won and were mathematically saved ”.
One word to define the season. The full-back summed up that “it is difficult to define the season in one word.”
Malbasic: “Next year will be better”
Filip Malbasic also spoke for the official Cádiz media and analyzed the season. The forward has participated in 28 of the 38 league games, accumulating a total of 846 minutes in which he has played both as a forward and right winger. The Serbian highlights: “I am left with having been able to play in the First Division. Next year it will be better because it can always be better.”
Season balance. The Serbian striker has actively participated in the team's permanence in the First Division and in his assessment of the course he stressed that “the season has been very good. I think we have accomplished something that many had doubts that we could do it ”. He added that “with humility, daily work, with a group of character we have been able to move this forward, move the year forward. The season has been very good ”.
The best and worst moment of the team? He looked back to say that “the best moment of the team was at the beginning when we won very difficult games, especially away from home. All these victories and all the streaks have been good ”. On the other hand, he pointed out that “we had a bad streak of four or five games where we didn't score points and we received a lot of goals at the beginning of the second round. That was the worst time we had. As a team, as a group, we have been able to move this forward ”.
Personal balance. Filip Malbasic has experience in European leagues, having played in addition to Serbia in Germany and Poland. He stressed that “I am very happy to have had the opportunity to play in LaLiga Santander and happy to be able to stay with Cádiz.” He recalled that “I have participated in many games, in others not so much. I am left with having been able to play in the First Division. Next year will be better because it can always be better ”.
Aspirations for the next season. Looking ahead to the next course, he wanted “the team to do the same. To be humble, together and to have the goal of salvation ”. He added that “the club has to settle in LaLiga Santander and as a result of that go further up. We have to be the same and try to save ourselves. I think that's the most important thing”.
A moment of the course. It does not stay with one in particular, since “there are many moments.” “The first game in Carranza we lost, but it was a new experience for many of us, for me too,” he stressed. In addition, he recalled “the victory in Bilbao with nine players, Madrid, Barcelona, are victories that are never forgotten. It was something that is above all this season.
One word to define the season. The forward was clear: “Sensational is the word.” He argued that “it has been sensational in many aspects, as we have shown that this team is worth a lot and that we hope that next year it will be the same.”
