The infallible eye of the 'signing sheikh'. This news has caught our attention. Esteban Rolón, one of the eight footballers fired by the ERE executed by Málaga, has found a team. It is about the Buenos Aires Hurricane. As you will remember, Al Thani imposed his signing and denied Michel that of Javi Garcia. From there and from Pablo Fornals's departure to Villarreal, things began to change. Rolón's joke cost “only” 4.2 million euros. This season he played one minute.
The unemployment market. In line with the previous comment, we will say that Renato Santos, Boulahroud and Dani Pacheco, in addition to Aarón Ñíguez, are still unemployed. Four good players, victims of the harsh circumstances that the world is experiencing and, of course, football.
Not so bad nor so good. That Malaga has played very badly in the last two games against Mirandés and Mallorca is a reality. Not now is it so bad or before, when it won two games in a row so good. It is still a team under construction with the fortune of having added 14 points in full preseason within the season. Green always ends up maturing.
Against all odds, in playoff. After Thursday's matchday, Málaga remains in the top six. A classification that exceeds all initial expectations, but which is misleading because there are teams like Girona, Zaragoza, Almería or Sabadell with pending matches.
Caye Quintana, injured. The fighter and valuable footballer from Huelva retired at 59 'due to a sprain in his right knee that makes him a serious doubt for Monday's game against Espanyol.
The strategy plays. Meaningful words from Sergio Pellicer. “We are a zero to set pieces. In the rest a ten ”. Meaningful words. If this is the case, Málaga has a fat problem. If you don't take advantage of the strategy, bad business.
Pichichi Chavarría. Of the seven goals that Málaga has scored, two have been the work of Pablo Chavarría. The offensive side continues to be another one that Málaga has to improve.
From ‘blessed problem’ to debate. Malaga has conceded eleven goals. In this campaign Dani Barrio has played 540 minutes spread over six games and Juan Soriano 270 in three games. The ‘blessed problem’ that Sergio Pellicer referred to has moved to the fans as a passionate debate. Who should be the owner of the goal? Therein lies the dilemma.
