How do you prepare for the game? “We face it like all the previous ones, with the same enthusiasm. After the victory against Castellón, it is worth for us to believe in what we were working on. It allows you to work on a victory like this very calmly, it increases confidence. We have been with the uneasiness of the schedules, with different situations and planned programs. There are people who join later. The loads are changing and now we have to hope that the competition will allow us to get into good shape. A game is coming that after the start of the League, without an audience, but after two games away it must be worth us to make us strong. It will not be an excuse, even though there are no people, we ask you to show your encouragement and help us to achieve three important points ”.
Job of the week. “We try every day to improve training, we had various plans for workloads and we looked for the best individual and collective performance. We will go from day to day. We have to thoroughly analyze each workout. But also the mental and psychological state is essential, you have to assimilate and make emotional ties. When on October 5 we have the template sketch, to add the highest possible points and improve records. Football is not mathematical, I can't say where we are, yes at an important moment of improvement. We have to think that we have to give everything. In each game, beyond being correct, there is an obligation to give everything so that no one can reproach you for anything. The effort is not negotiated, from there the tactical, physical and mental issue must be worked on in the best possible way ”.
Return to the Rose Garden. “It's a joy, but we have a weird feeling. We trained on Wednesday and Friday and for some players it was a new place. An anecdote is that they realized how beautiful the La Rosaleda temple is and I told them to imagine with people carrying them around. We are among the four or five most affected in the category because there is no public. I wish the people were there, that the pandemic be solved, which is the most important thing. La Rosaleda earns more points than other hobbies. That hobby-player thread that is created is important “.
Jozabed. “He is a player who excites everyone, like everyone else. We do not focus on a player, this is a collective. All the players stand out for the hunger they have. I'm not going to say whether or not it's starting tomorrow. He lacks rhythm, like other colleagues. With two training sessions Matos competed for the needs in Castellón and did well. Jozabed will surely be there and help us, I don't know if from the start or during the match. The form is caught by competing in pressure situations. I'm really looking forward to Jozabed and the rest. Good players are good players. You have to combine it with effort and they have to give their best, the benefit goes to Málaga Club de Fútbol ”.
Ismael and Hicham injuries. “After the game we started to see options, because Ismael and Hicham's are different injuries, the same as one but we lose several games to the other. When a player with good performance falls due to injury, we try to get another to take advantage of that moment to help. We have raised it with different sketches, we have changed the tactical structure, we try to adapt to our best characteristics and see how we can attack. Hicham would surely have started tomorrow, but we will try to make it as good as possible. The other day must be a liberation for all ”.
Alcorcón. “We have two days and they have not conceded a goal. He has coordinated defensive aspects, foresees the later option of the game, manages offensive and defensive transits, is very supportive. It comes from beating Tenerife, we already saw the potential it had against them. It will be difficult, tough, due to the characteristics of the team. We are both in a similar state of mind. Beyond not having an audience, we have to make ourselves strong at La Rosaleda. We anticipate a tactical match, 70% or 80% of the goals are by transition and we must improve in those phases. You have to have more arrivals, appear in finishing points, take the ball in the best conditions to the area. We have worked on it ”.
ERE. “We manage it in the best possible way. You know the circumstances. First is the club and we are in the middle. This rests on four legs. Fans, players, club and management and in last place the coach and coaching staff. It is the valuation pyramid that I do. We have lived with players who are leaving and who are working in an impeccable way. I am grateful to the club, to Manolo and José María, and to the players from the previous season and now. We are in the middle and the circumstances are what they are. It is a difficult year due to the whole situation and I always send that message of unity. The bench is the electric chair. Sooner or later I will go, but I will always welcome the opportunity. We will be grateful. To the players in the day to day who showed their commitment, I will always appreciate it. The sooner it is solved, they are working 24 hours, the better. Thus we would arrive at those situations with more calm. I like to talk about the next opponent, about each game, about tactical issues. We have talked more about the extra sport than the sporty ”.
Analysis. “They are three very important points, even if it is a beginning. In Castellón it was not only winning the three points. It was the trust that we could have in new people and that we could give to our people. The obligation is that each game we are better tactically and physically. The fans feel identified with the values of honesty and effort, of being aggressive. In that there is no negotiation. The talented player also has to put his effort at the level of the group. It will be our idea and our philosophy ”.
The merit of registering the nine signings“There are new people arriving in a place like Malaga and hunger and illusion are key. If they sign, it is because in the conversations they have had and because of what they have been seen, they have that. The sparkle in the eyes of the players I like. Being at Malaga is a challenge and a challenge. It is not work, it is enjoyment. But it is a responsibility, you have to know how to pinch ourselves and know where we are. It is going to be a challenge and there are going to be no excuses. We will go game by game day after day. With the help of colleagues from last year. There is enthusiasm and dedication and passion ”.
Pending transfers. “We cannot have 18 professional chips, I hope that next week there will be fewer injuries, there are none available. We will go 12-13-14 professionals to this match. There are players who cannot start the game. We are solving it. We must add the highest possible points and that on October 5 we have it clear. Don't have the chips problems. It was shown, despite the changes, that the team was competitive in Castellón, I would like to have been able to look more at the attack. It could not be. Day by day, we are few but with enthusiasm we are more than anyone. There is no need to look for excuses. We will look for solutions to problems ”.
Month and a half ago he imagined this: “A month and a half ago so many things changed … We look at the present. We cannot look at the past, back when we started. We go hour by hour. The victories give tranquility and the defeats instability. There is one very important thing, every Friday, Saturday or Sunday there is a game and points are scored. There is no excuse and I do not think about the problems. The important thing is in the day-to-day. We have to make sure that we are always close to fighting for the victory. Look ahead and the present. May these obstacles make us stronger for the future and may no one beat us at work ”.
Ramon Enriquez. “Very happy with the performance of Ramón and the team. We know him perfectly and we know what it costs to be there. I have told him, to talk about beautiful things there is the press, the representative, the environment, but we are here to see that Player of the future that can be maintained. It is very difficult with young people to maintain that balance. I am sure that watching him train and young people can arrive. He has that stability of improving every day and making an effort. The next day is take steps forward. We have to be the bad cop with them because the reality of football is that staying costs a lot, getting there costs less. What we want is to give continuity to that performance. Football is a crusher of players and a lot of competition. “
Club situation and arrest of former directors “I did not know anything about the arrests. Now I would like to talk about the fans, the players, I know the path that I have chosen, protect the players and the club. That the dressing room remains outside the situations. The most important thing is the stability, beyond everything that happens. In the temple there are no offices, there is real football and a ball. I have told you this from the first day I got to the players. “
Luis Munoz. “Well, there it is, we know what there is, everyone knows perfectly what I think of Luis. It is a matter of time and hopefully it can be solved and we can have it, but now I think about who I have to line up tomorrow.
