Málaga prepares its match tomorrow against Cartagena with the aim of ending three months of nightmare that have not only kept them from promotion but have also brought them closer to relegation. The new and unexpected Blue and White reality has put fear into the bodies of the fans who last Sunday received the team with protests after their return from San Sebastian where they were shipwrecked against a Sanse who had only won one game at the Reale Arena.
The captains Escassi and Lombán, as well as Chavarría, the sports director Manolo Gaspar and the delegate, Josemi, spoke with the people. The fans promised not to leave the team alone and Escassi admitted at a press conference that he understood the anger of the fans. “It is good that they give us a slap on the wrist so that we wake up,” he stressed.
The reality is that February ends and Malaga faces a windy March as the saying goes. After Monday’s game against the departmental team, he visits Amorebieta, at home against Ponferradina, a decisive trip to Fuenlabrada and another hole at home, the reborn Huesca of Xisco Muñoz.
The duel against Rubén Castro’s team does not seem to have aroused enough expectation to dream of a grand entrance at La Rosaleda. The club expected a arreón. But there are too many factors against it. The team does not raise passions at the moment, playing on Monday does not invite you to leave the house. Being a holiday in Andalusia, maybe it would have been better to put the game in the afternoon. But this is not decided by the clubs.
natxo gonzalez, which has not given the summoned list, could introduce some change with respect to the team that was shipwrecked in San Sebastián. The return of Peybernes, who has served a sanction, is almost certain. And more than sure the eternal mystery of Sekou.
