First call for Joaquín Muñoz. “Mentally imagine how he is, with great enthusiasm. We have to stop him with the desire he has after that injury he has had, a muscle injury. An explosive, dynamic and unbalancing profile Physically it is clear that he is not at 100%, he has gradually entered attack actions especially. Today he trained at a very good level and above all to be with the team, the teammates. With this issue of the pandemic, that day-to-day group union is missing. We are going to see the course of the game if he can help us, but we are going to control the issue of charges a lot with him. It is a step forward, very happy to receive another player to help with that profile that we have little.
Set pieces, a problem for the team. “It is a large percentage of points, to enter the game and to change the plan. We are insisting on that and on other aspects. You have to know how to defend those actions and in attack have more precision, believe more in that action and in the second play. We are in it. We hope that tomorrow we can get a goal and that it will be in a set piece action ”.
Analysis of the Sabadell. “It can be divided into two blocks, the first five days in which he had five defeats. Many times unreal for the performance of the team. In the latter he has achieved all the points, including the last game. With rivals who are fighting above. There are two different scenarios, we are left with the last of that team that is competing at a high level. He wants to be the protagonist with the ball, he changes his drawing and has many players from last year. We are going to find a tremendously complicated match, beyond the classification when one competes to the maximum the differences are scarce. We have to take steps forward, leave mistakes behind ”.
Christ. “He's having problems from last year. It is seen to have an overload. It is nothing important but, for prevention, it causes a drop in the call. He is not going to play with the subsidiary either “.
Chavarría. “He had normal discomfort after the efforts he has been making. In the games he has been here at Malaga, he has played more than in the previous year. We are very happy with the performance he is giving. I do not want to enter into individualities, but the illusion that it transmits to us. He's a different forward from Caye, Orlando and Julio. It gives us many alternatives. From there, both he and the rest of the players are in a position to generate more in attack. It also creates spaces for colleagues to take advantage of. More than the number of goals, it generates a lot in the game. He has to contribute like everyone else, also the second-line players or the set pieces defenders ”.
Mental aspect. “We arrived well, with anger. The first members of the coaching staff. We were not right on the last day, we were the first. With the public we would not have lost 0-3. He encourages us to be more aggressive, to have a mentality before the game. These last two games we have had more possession than the rival. They are the two teams that have thrown us the least between the three suits and we have conceded six goals. The goals must be analyzed and that analysis we have seen with them. The mental issue right now is very important. We have to continue with that DNA that we have shown in previous games. Being aggressive, in the second half of Espanyol we committed two fouls. Things we didn't do the other day. The first culprit is the coach for not knowing how to transmit it. In a minute the sign of the game changes.
Stoichkov. “He is a player who arrived a little later, since his arrival the team has improved. We know the kind of player he is, but I prefer Pablo, Jairo, Caye, Orlando, Jozabed… My players are the best and we have the best squad possible. All rivals have great players who can be differentials. “
The doubt of Yanis. “He has not been able to train due to a personal problem. It is in convocation but we do not know if it will be able to be tomorrow. We don't know until the last minute. Footballers are people and we are here to help you. I see my players improving, each time hungrier ”.
Antonio Hidalgo. “I don't have the pleasure of meeting you personally but we did speak on the phone for a while. He is a player who has left a lot of love and a lot of ground, he is taking steps forward. For me it will also be special because I scored my last goal as a professional there. My utmost respect for the work you are doing. The one here is the greatest thing in the world. It signifies the importance that it has, when the love it leaves leaves Malaga. Malaga is above people, the most important thing is love. Wherever he goes he is just another malaguista ”.
