Josué Dorrio, one of the key additions successfully integrated into the team by coach Funes, has stated his complete satisfaction with the decision to join Málaga C.F. Despite a season start marked by injuries, the player expressed his enthusiasm on the ‘Minuto 91’ program.
“"I made the right choice. I am very happy. I always use the example that last year I played every game, but what one wants is for the team to be at the top, and this year, even if I play less, I am enjoying it a lot. I needed a year like this. The club treats us great. I don't regret anything at all."
The footballer also shared his motivation upon seeing images of the Primera RFEF promotion in the club's museum, an event that sparked a deep desire to experience a similar situation with the team. With seven "finals" ahead, including the upcoming match against Almería, Dorrio emphasizes the importance of continued hard work and determination.
“"Hopefully. We have seven finals left. I said when they inaugurated the museum that I was envious of the photo of the promotion from Primera RFEF. I also wanted to experience something like that. There's still Almería and six other finals. We have to keep working hard."
The player also reflected on the team's trajectory this season, which initially seemed destined to fight for permanence. He attributes the current success to the "game by game" strategy, a management approach that the coaching staff, led by Funes, has effectively implemented. He highlighted the team's ability to recover from difficult moments, such as a streak of three draws.
A crucial moment in Dorrio's life this season was the loss of his father, an event that, according to him, prompted a change in mindset and significant personal growth. This learning has been reflected in his performance on the field, where he now makes better use of opportunities.
During another tough period of the season, Dorrio found crucial support in Funes. After an injury during the coach's second training session, the player felt frustrated, but Funes's group management was key to his recovery and to maintaining team cohesion.
