Málaga has removed many of its ghosts with a stroke of the pen thanks to its restorative victory last Sunday in Amorebieta. It is the first win for Natxo González in his sixth game, it was won after seven days of drought with only one victory in 12 games against a direct rival. As they say in the slang, “a win of six points.”
Manolo Gaspar’s harangue The club has distributed a video with the harangue of Manolo Gaspar, sports director, to its players after the success in Lezama. “This is the triumph of the group, because you are training like bastards, all together and all as one. And we deserve it, for you and for everyone here and around us. You are beasts because you are training the whole spectacular group. This victory belongs to everyone, everyone, everyone. Now, enjoy it.”
The happy return of Juande. The defender could not have had a better return after 35 days without enjoying football due to another damn injury. “After a hard time personally due to those injuries and not being able to help the team, it’s a joy to come back, that on top of that we win and help the team with a goal. The team comes from a good game dynamic although the results were not good, in the end we were convinced of the reward and it has arrived”.
Pichichi Brandon. The Spaniard has seven goals and is the team’s top scorer. “It was important to get the three points once and for all. Here it is complicated, with a lot of ball up and a lot of duel. It goes for the fans, the one that has moved, the one that has stayed at home. And also for the teammates and the coaching staff. In the end we have worked a lot, we have had bad times and we deserve it. And double joy for the goal. The other day, despite the tie, we were good, we competed. We were impeccable except at the last minute, it was bad luck that Cartagena put us in. We have extended the team’s good game and it was very good to win. We had to add three by three and it was also away from home, which we have suffered all year”.
Peybernes Earrings. The worrying note is the physical condition of the Frenchman, who had to leave the field of play due to discomfort to be replaced by Ismael Casas. It is expected that said inconvenience will not prevent him from being next Saturday against Ponferradina at La Rosaleda.
The system change. Circumstances led Natxo González to opt for a three-centre scheme with Lombán also pending Aleix Febas, who was very applied in the double role of sweeping the house and building play. Next Saturday against the bercianos Escassi will return after having served his game of suspension. What will Natxo do?
Against Fuenla, without Pellicer. The schedule for another of the decisive outings that Malaga has left this season is already known. It will be against Fuenlabrada at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday 19, Father’s Day. Sergio Pellicer, who has been dismissed, will not be there, but other old acquaintances, Adrián González and Javi Ontiveros.
