Pellicer decrees the 'forbidden to relax' in Malaga

Málaga walks with a firm and comfortable step. His 45 points in 33 days have him in a very calm position and report him a cushion of 11 points on the descent. The initial goal of 50 points is just five with 27 remaining to be played. The long-awaited stay is very close in a season that began under a tremendous storm in La Rosaleda and with an ERE that affected about a dozen players.

Pellicer appeals time and again to ambition and tries to avoid at all costs that the squad may fall into conformism when they already touch the target with their fingers. Relaxing is prohibited. Salvation is one step away and the playoff spots are seen at a relatively distant distance: seven points. “What we want to do is win the games and get closer to the top positions. The history of Malaga demands it. But the first thing is to certify the objective and then to be ambitious ”, stated the Malaguista coach after the 0-1 achieved in Lugo.

The most unconditional optimists do not rule out anything. Neither is the wardrobe. Pellicer wants his footballers keep the bar and competitive intensity intact until the last match of the championship.

Málaga's aim is to put a good icing on a brilliant season. The team started with the cheapest squad and with the lowest League Salary of the 42 clubs that make up professional football (First and Second). The good work in the offices of the sports management and the excellent performance shown by the team have served to ward off the ghosts and the lower part of the table many days in advance.
