Málaga CF visits Córdoba next Sunday at 4:00 p.m. at the Nuevo Arcángel. Sergio Pellicer analyzed the key match in his appearance before the media at La Rosaleda, ensuring that this is “the closest and toughest test for the play off” and he hopes to fulfill his duties, the long-awaited improvement in the last pass and the finish.
La Rosaleda Party
“It is true that it was the best team that went through La Rosaleda in a game in which we were not good, but they left us a life and our team competes to the maximum, we are one of the few teams that are always in the game. We faced the best team in the second round, which is doing something very difficult. It is a match marked to certify playing in the playoff and for the objective, which is to be as high as possible. Whether we win or not, it will not mean that we will be promoted. or not, but I think it is a great test and it will be a very nice game in which I hope we compete as we are doing and hit where we are lacking. “They know that we are a very complicated team.”
Sanction to Ferreiro
“We are not having any luck lately. I think it is an injustice about David (Ferreiro) because in the images it is very clear, and in the other yellow one it is not a protest either, although as I always say, we all make mistakes and we have to to be better than the rival and to be above the referee’s decisions. We are not having luck in those decisions, although I believe that luck does not exist, that we have to create it and look for it. Likewise, for me it is an injustice because a goal is going to be lost. important game and because it is an injustice.
Aspects to improve
“The other day for the first time in the season we repeated the lineup. We are going to try to adjust in the situations in which we can improve both defensively and offensively, changing a player’s position because the rivals know what spaces our players occupy. We always have an idea in the game plan, although the result is what will determine it. In that regard, it may be there is some change.
All teams have weak points. I think we are going to find a totally different match context than the ones we found here, especially in the last games. The other day against Murcia we were barely able to attack in depth because they had the defensive line very close to their area. Are two very proactive teams, of going to cause the error and play in the rival field and from there, seeing how they are and the idea that we have, it is going to be very physical and that is where we have certain players who have to put a mine in those spaces of central and lateral. From there, we have to improve in it last pass and the completion. It is where against organized teams we have to give that extra. “They are small details, on a defensive level we are good, but we have to give that extra in the finishing zone.”
New Juanpe injury
“Juanpe has had very bad luck. He was one of the bigger bets of the club and the one who suffers the most is him. I ask everyone to help us, it will be difficult to find the best version of it because there is little left, it will surely be for next year. It is a blow on a moral level for a player. I think that next week he will be able to be there, but when you have an injury, then comes the recovery and the clock doesn’t stop. It is a very important month, the seasons are long and the physical and mental level is going to be very important due to all the wear and tear of the season. Any small situation in which a player misses two or three training sessions is going to cost. Hopefully he can help us with quality minutes, not quantity.”
Qualifying situation
“We live in constant doubt. This is the closest test and one of the tougher for the playoff. Of the last games, we have won five and drawn five. If we had won all ten, we would still not go first. And Córdoba is the one that is doing the best second round. There is a team that is putting up stratospheric numbers and that made a brutal economic bet that has nothing to do with ours, which is Castellón. Then we are there, with Córdoba and Ibiza who are fighting. We leave the doubt to have constantly, because this is in a club that is constantly in doubt, but time is very wise, no matter what happens. For me it is an important match, but if we win it does not mean that we are going to be promoted and if we lose it does not mean that we are not going to achieve it. “It is the most similar and highest level scenario to playing outside our stadium against one of the strongest rivals of the two groups.”
MCF Training 25 of 4 / Málaga CF
The moment of Ramón and Dioni
“Ramón still no this. We are taking care of the training. I think he will arrive at the moment we see and he is getting closer every day to being in that starting eleven, which for me is not so important, but that he can be. I am very happy with Dioni. It is true that since the Intercity coup he has been participating in the second parts, this week he has also been a father, and he must be congratulated, and I spoke with him the other day, because the important thing is the quality minutes. It is true that now we are playing with three midfielders and a forward, with a midfielder like Dani Lorenzo, who gives us many alternatives, but we can change at any time. He has to clear his mind and he will arrive in the best shape for the decisive moment.
This anxiety about the goal is normal, these are people who live off the goal. The Intercity day was good, the previous one against Alcoyano it was also quite good. It is true that we want to bring him a little closer to the area because he and Ferreiro are decisive. I want him to be calm because he is working very well, at any moment that brilliance that he has, that talent, will come out.”
Final section
“We need to improve those small details that make draws not victories. The boys are working very well, trust in the work and the effort. Our strength has to go through La Rosaleda and in these last three games we have tied, I have to accept that. Effort and competitiveness are not negotiated, the numbers are there.
Five games left. In five games anything can happen. The best scenario is to compete in those five games. Now the focus is on Córdoba, because that is the key. Now the focus is on Córdoba, because that is the key. We have to be strong mentally, physically and emotionally because nothing is done. It must be certified. We have to have that focus on the next game and enough humility. The daily habit, the daily work, that is the key so that at the moment of truth we are prepared. If we look a lot to the future, the present it’s not going to be good“.
