Genaro Rodríguez paraded this afternoon through the press room at La Rosaleda and wanted to convey a message of confidence and optimism with a view to Sunday’s game in Tenerife. Málaga is at stake at the Heliodoro and desperately needs to win. “You have to go to Tenerife to burst there. We think it’s a pretty winnable match.”assured.
Visit to Tenerife: “The team is quite motivated and focused on the details that the coach is giving us this week. We believe and think that it is a quite winnable game, to get the three points and bring them to Malaga. When chances don’t come in you can be a little down, but the mentality is the same and the team is mentally prepared to get out of this situation. Working is the only thing left for us.”
Your physical condition: “I’m fine, in top condition. Every week we train with excellent intensity, since Guede’s arrival that’s a flag. The other day I ended up a bit depleted, but from minute one we are recovering and this long week we are back to being one hundred percent for Sunday. Now another final is coming and we have to be prepared physically and emotionally”.
Complicated situation: “There is a bit of tension due to the situation, it is reality, but the team is very motivated. We’ve polished off the mistakes in the Oviedo game, that lack of finish, and we’re thinking of accelerating against Tenerife and adding those three points to get away from the bottom”.
Problems with the goal: “Everyone saw that Oviedo had won six games in a row and they were a rocky team. Defensively we were unblemished and when it came to generating it was a bit complicated to materialize the plays and that penalized us. This week we will try to remedy it, Tenerife plays a bit like Oviedo, with competitive and quality players, but we are going to go for it”.
Anxiety: “I don `t believe. The Second is quite complicated and the rival also plays and makes things difficult for you. To work, be constant and believe one hundred percent in it”.
Real B plays on Friday: “It can be an extra motivation. But we have to think that nothing has happened and focus on our party and do things as we have worked. I’m sure we’re going to get the three points”.
injuries: “It’s the trend throughout the season. The lack of troops may have penalized us, but we have a large workforce and subsidiaries that count as one more. We have to lend a hand for the teammate next to us, no matter what his name is”.
Luis Muñoz: “We see him training one hundred percent. I see him well, motivated, with good handling of the ball, physically quite well. Whether he plays or not is the decision of the coaching staff. It’s a complicated injury, I’ve been through it myself, he has to prepare well and he’s working on it”.
Confidence in victory in Tenerife: “I am quite convinced, I am not saying it to look good. We can get our hands on Tenerife and any team. The other day nobody expected the result of Zorrilla, who won the Sanse, and we have to go to Tenerife to burst there”.
There are two games left and one at home: “Playing inside or outside the house has to give us the same. To consider each game as a final, and think that this week the League ends and we have to win, and have all five senses in it”.
Renovation: “Quite happy, I came with another optional year, and what more could you ask for. After the meniscus injury my mind was to return to one hundred percent, the recovery has gone smoothly and thanks to the club and the technical secretariat I can be here for two more years”.
External run: “Regardless of what people think, we have to be hermetic in the locker room and more united than ever. Focused on Tenerife, the only thing that matters, and removing the bad ‘vibe’ is what we have in mind.
Discipline: “There are always talks and we talk about ourselves, it is typical of the coexistence of the locker room. The team is above the individual, that is what has to prevail”.
