“Malaga is a great club and I wouldn't mind going back”

Juan Soriano was Málaga's best player on Saturday against Mallorca. The goalkeeper made several worthwhile saves, one of them to Amath Ndiaye, who has been chosen as the best intervention of the day. So far this season he has played a total of 18 official games, 16 in the League and two in the Cup, in which he has conceded 17 goals (15 and 2) and in which he has managed to clear his goal seven times.

On Monday, except for a capital surprise, he will repeat in the goal against Oviedo. On the horizon, a season finale that will once again leave him uncertain about his future. The goal is loaned by Sevilla without a purchase option and you must return to Nervión when the course ends. In principle, his continuity in the Seville project seems complicated, but the goalkeeper puts himself in the hands of his club without hiding, yes, that he is very seduced by the idea of ​​repeating adventure at La Rosaleda. “I've been very good here. I have made friends, but I have to go back to Sevilla. I have a contract and I must wait for the decision made by Sevilla and from there I will decide. I don't know if next year or four or five years from now, but nOr am I going to deny that Málaga is a great club and I wouldn't mind coming back here. In a part it does not depend on me. I can express to Sevilla what I want or what I feel, but in the end they are the ones who rule over me. Until the season is over, I don't think anything will be said, “he said on the microphones of the TO BE.

Soriano denied that there is a clause in his contract that dictates that he must play a certain number of games and valued the great work of the entire team so far in the championship: “Malaga has had many limitations, the team was formed late, only 18 professionals, having to pull a lot from the quarry, serious injuries to two teammates (Calero and Chavarría) … There have been many stones along the way, but the team has overcome it, all united, there have been no stars, players who have made a great effort to come … At the beginning of the season they gave us for dead in the pools, they considered us evicted because of the ERE issue, because of those who were going to leave, the team was late and we have 50 points with four days remaining. The most important thing is that the team has competed, has believed, a good group has formed and we have all gone to one ”.

Regardless of their own future, one of the issues that unquestionably marks the Blue and Whites' current affairs is the renewal of Sergio Pellicer, about which certain doubts have been raised in recent days. The goalkeeper is clear about what is best for Málaga: “If he renews it would be a great success for Málaga. Last year he took the team downhill and saved it and this year everyone has seen how the team has competed. It would be good for Malaga if he stayed, but it is his decision”.

As for sports, the objective for this League final is clearly defined. “Mathematically seal permanence and play each game to add the three points. Fight to be as high as possible. That suits us and the club because that would be more income for the club and so it would not be so limited next year”Said Soriano.
