Sergio Pellicer: “The other day I was outraged, we are not stupid”

He is still upset by Folch's goal observed as a foul on the goalkeeper who was not pointed out. “The other day when what happened happened, I was outraged when I got home because we, Cartagena and all the teams are risking our lives. We are the humblest in the category, but we are not stupid. We may seem like it but we are not fools. It is a respect for Malaga's history and respect for the entire competition and all the teams. We are entering a dangerous game that should not be. We come from two games with some situations which have meant that we may not have any more points. Respect for the work we do, the fans and the history of the club ”.

Party approach. “Now we are in a limit phase, the most important of the season, but mentally the team is very strong. The most important party is that of Cartagena. Later we will see the situations, hopefully there will be no more casualties and recover players. Faced with problems, solutions ”.

Without rotations thinking about Almería. “This game is tremendously important and we are going with the idea of ​​getting the best eleven possible. All we think about is to make the best team to go for the victory ”.

Alberto Escassi knee injury. “He tried it with those annoyances and let's see, it is pending evolution. He is better but not 100%. We want to be optimistic, to see if he can be for the Almería game. We know how these types of injuries develop, the other day he did partial training but did not feel good. I want to be optimistic and I hope I don't know anything serious. “

Cartagena analysis. “It is a team of contrasts. It has nothing to do with the match in the first round, the one that has been reinforced the most in the category in winter. That data is there. He is injured, at home he is showing a much more competitive team. He has a lot of offensive potential, in attack he has decisive players. They are on the limit, they are risking their lives, but we too for that dream permanence and then wanting to dream and be ambitious. We have to go to the limit like them. We are going to try to make them uncomfortable. We have to give continuity to our last games ”.

Low from Escassi. “Throughout the competition we have had these problems. When you are finding optimal states of form, something has always happened to us. The case of Escassi, Ramón, Chavarría, Calero… of many more. The situation must be reversed, we have worked with several plans. We can keep the same structure or change the drawing. The player who replaces Alberto will surrender. What prevails is the collective over individualities. We cannot enter victimisms. Whoever comes out is going to do well ”.

Scepovic Evolution. “This week he has done training with more loads, at high intensity. It is available but here headlines are all. He's going to help us, even he and Caye can play, or Julio or Loren. I don't think you have to put any label on the players. Those who start from the bench have to take the step to start. That is the way. Stefan has taken steps forward and we are happy with the performance he is giving. “

Caution with Ramón Enríquez. “It is not there to start, it is after a long process. But it is there to help us, which is tremendously important. We have to be very careful, but it is not at the physical level and effort. You can train at a high level but you haven't done a whole week to be at that same physical level. He had taken a brutal step forward and I think he will help us. It will be there for the course of the game if we think it is necessary. “

Hicham is still out: “He is in that recovery process, we have to be cautious. We'll see. He has had several relapses and we have to be very calm ”.
