Javi Jiménez started again in the League with Málaga against Fuenlabrada. The blue and white left-back ensures that the feelings were “very positive, emphasizing the collective rather than the individual, which is what will make us grow as a team. We were a compact and complete block in the entire game ”. The challenge now is to keep those good vibes away from home, the pending subject so far. Winning in Valladolid would be a turning point. “The dressing room wants to hit the table, be it at home or away. There is desire, ambition and an eye on Zorrilla on Friday and get the three points “Jiménez said at a press conference.
Reasons why Málaga is the fourth best at home and the worst at home: “We focus more on an analysis of what we can control on the pitch. As people that we are, we also turn our heads around. Why fool us, at home there is a spectacular environment for people, from the outside it sure feels the same. Sometimes the legs go alone, but that is no excuse. You have to find regularity outside the home, which will be important, but you have to have peace of mind. The team is taking giant steps, especially on a day-to-day basis. That will lead us to that regularity away from home that we crave ”.
Atmosphere in the changing room: “One of the clearest things I had is that it would be an exceptional wardrobe. From the board, people are signed before footballers. They are not rumors, it is a reality that this dressing room is amazing, the teammates make each other better, there is a very healthy competition. It is important to have a good year ”.
Competitiveness: “I don't individualize, I don't generalize. In mine there is another colleague who is Braian Cufré, who is a piece of lateral. We push ourselves together and we get better from day to day ”.
What do you expect from Friday's game ?: “We notice it for the better. We have time to be together and correct mistakes. Regardless of the result, there are also things to correct in victories. Valladolid is a recently released player, one of those with the largest budget and a large squad. To find the best face and compete ”.
Luis Muñoz's operation: “We give you peace of mind, which is what you will need the most. When he has been able to rest from the operation, we will turn to him. It is very important, not only for us, but also for the club ”.
How far does the physicist go ?: “That is due to that work that we talk about many times. They are the physical trainers and the physios of the team, which is not seen. It is thanks to those people who are behind and are fundamental for us, so that we can get to the weekend in the best possible way ”.
What do you expect from the season ?: “The whole season is ahead, but the bases are fully established. You have to look up but without losing your head. Ambition regardless of how we go on the table. We are a young and ambitious team. The team has managed to remain calm despite the two losses we had away. I have no doubts that the team will go to more game by game ”.
