Losing streak. “Whenever you come from a defeat doubts are generated and when you come from victory, self-esteem is fed. You have to keep a balance, the extremes are bad. Work like every week. We have to improve statistical aspects and enhance things that we are doing well. We must calm down and calculate well the issue of charges. To clench your teeth. The other day I was wrong and I assume that guilt. The coach cannot succumb to the temptation of throwing out the players ”.
Medullary. “I never tell the team or usually give clues. There are several alternatives, several players who can do it whatever the drawing, the important thing is the mechanisms of the game. You have to try to reduce the opponent's virtues, provoke them and increase their possible weaknesses. We have to generate for it. Beyond the initial photo. Whoever participates is going to do it in the best possible way and try to be more successful than in the previous one ”.
Alcorcón. “The classification is not the reflection of Alcorcón or many teams. Alcorcón must be analyzed from various contexts. Three days ago I had some playoff numbers since the arrival of maestro Anquela, that I had the great opportunity to have him as a coach, myself as a player. It conveys what your team is. Passion, work, commitment, tactical order. It is a team that has happened everything. Improper alignment, false positives, preparing the game they lost to Mallorca with almost no players. Situations that we experienced many times last year. I learned many values from Anquela. The other day he had an unfair defeat. He knows how to enhance his virtues and is aggressive, he knows what he plays, starting mechanisms of three or four, set pieces, people who handle the second plays well. It is unreal. In another situation I would have many more points ”.
Market closure without signings for Málaga. “That right now is unfeasible. We saw the transfer options of the other teams and ours said 'we cannot sign'. We are who we are and with these players we will go to the death until the end.” We would have liked to offer champagne and caviar , but we are in a situation where we can only offer work with a bottle of water, wallow in the sand and eat the plate of the mountains, which is so typical of Malaga. And that is what we have to reflect. If in the future comes more money could appear on another stage and offer champagne and caviar. Now work and humility, with what we have we are very happy, and we are going to work with that. “
Everyone will have their chance. “Last year there was a very clear detail, an important game against Deportivo and a triple change with Rolón, who participated in a fundamental moment when he barely counted. And I want to show that to those who are going to have their chance in the second round. Everyone must be prepared ”.
Has anyone asked to leave? “Not that I know. That is up to Manolo Gaspar, but I think they are all happy and want to continue rowing in this boat. Grow and be ambitious. Better than Malaga in few places will be. Right now we are the poorest in the yard, but with our illusion we have a great time. We are happy each one, and we must all continue to improve ”.
Team situation, in bad streak of results. “The dynamics are not what we want. The photo we have is that and we must enhance the good things we have done. We are demanding, we send a realistic message, it costs a lot, we know what the objective is. And we would like to offer better versions. We need to have more continuity, manage time and space, and take advantage of opportunities. We are not doing it. “
Team play. “Beyond the game model and ideas there are several circumstances. It's not having more or less possession, it's where to hurt or how to readjust quickly. In the games where we have more possession it has cost us much more. We play a lot in the opponent's field, but also the ones with the least shot on goal. We need last pass, definition. If you expect a team like Almería or Espanyol with 80% possession it is difficult ”.
Commitment. “There has not been a week without attitude. When someone doesn't train with intensity, the first one we tell is him. And that has happened to me once or twice this year. And no more has happened. It is a pleasure to coach this group of players. The delivery, attitude and commitment is flawless. We also have many adversities in the fields, and nothing happens. This group of animals works every day as if it were their last. Against Ponferradina we ran more, but we ran badly. They came to us in a set piece, a transition, and then in chaos we disorganized ourselves instead of the rival. We have to generate more in attack in various mechanisms ”.
Orlando Sá. “On Tuesday he suffered a blow, and he has not been able to train normally. He will not be in the call and will stay training Saturday and Sunday. I have already spoken a lot about Orlando, he is highly respected in the dressing room for his experience. Let's hope we can have clean weeks, he's having bad luck with the bumps and injuries. We are going to need it ”.
