The setback suffered by Málaga CF and its fans, especially due to the unexpected hostility from the opposing crowd, has been a tough blow. However, this experience is considered fundamental for the young squad, whose average age in the starting eleven is under 25, in their fight for promotion to Primera División. Although a draw would have been a good result to keep direct promotion within reach and secure the 'average' against a direct rival, the team is learning from its mistakes.
Nevertheless, there is no reproach for a group that has come this far with boldness and uninhibitedness as its hallmarks. Stripping the team of its essence could have negative effects, as these very qualities make it special and different. Ambition, which was criticized in previous stages, is now a driving force that has propelled the team to achieve great progress in recent months.
“"If you can't continue, you have to fall to the ground and wait for the substitution. It's not a trick, it's not leaving the team at a disadvantage."
The situation experienced in the rival stadium, where fear was palpable when a Málaga CF player attacked and managed to equalize, demonstrates the team's ability to react. However, it is crucial to learn to manage certain situations on the field better to avoid disadvantages. The connection between players with experience in Primera División was key in the play that ultimately decided the match.
The attitude of the rival players after the 3-2 was not well received in Málaga, leading to the expulsion of a Málaga player. Although his absence is a setback, this incident reflects the team's commitment. Despite the defeat, the expedition was received by hundreds of fans in Martiricos in the early hours of the morning, demonstrating the unconditional support of the fans. With important absences for the next match against Castellón, the team will have the support of almost 30,000 people in the stands and anger as fuel.
