Sergio Pellicer visited Guillermo, a 12-year-old boy who underwent a major operation with his Málaga shirt, a malignant tumor for which he has lost a leg. The technician gave him another one signed by the squad. Apart from this, the Málaga coach spoke at SER Deportivos Málaga about various topics that we reproduce for their interest.
Orlando Sá. “We believe that it will be able to be in convocation. Tomorrow we will see the training, how he assumes the charges and have at least one professional record. It's a complicated Sunday because the youth team and the youth team are playing and we will be back late ”(From Las Palmas where Málaga plays on Saturday).
Medical part. “Escassi has not been able to finish training today and let's see how he is doing tomorrow. We have the doubt. Let's hope that next week Josua Mejías, Luis Muñoz and Ismael, at least two of them, can be there and help us. You have to be cautious, but there is good forecast for them to enter the dynamics of the group next week ”.
Hicham does not finish recovering. “He is not feeling comfortable and our goal is for him to focus physically and mentally. If it can be at the end of the season, perfect. And if not, focus on being next season. It is improving, but it is not one hundred percent. It is a complicated process since August. I arrive with COVID. When we recovered him, he was injured in Castellón and from there he has been tested. He has looked at other things … You have to be very calm. They can be sequelae from COVID. It is more a mental issue and you have to work on all aspects. The most important thing is the person, that he recovers. With its imbalance there are very few in the category, and we have to take care of it as much as possible because it is part of our heritage ”.
Renewal. “Manolo (Gaspar, the sports director) and José María (Muñoz, the judicial administrator) have spoken. There is no offer. They want me to continue, but there is nothing. We will talk about it, we are very happy and the most important thing is Malaga. I am very calm and I focus on the day to day. When you have to take the step, it will be done. What we feel at Malaga there are few coaching bodies that can say it. It is still too early and we are all at stake. We have to focus on the day to day. I don't listen to anyone, I put my personal ego aside and I know where I come from and where I am going ”.
Interest from other teams? “Nobody has told me anything about a team asking for me. I do not know anything. I come from below, and being at Malaga is something very great, I feel privileged about this opportunity that appeared to us, which is coming for a game and a half. Malaga for us is not a club, it is part of our body and we have to feel that way ”.
