“"We are super uplifted from the defeat in Santander. The one in Eibar hurt us more than the other day's. We have very high morale and the fighting spirit will be great because we are well-classified. We are going to fight for all victories."
Meanwhile, the coach of Unión Deportiva Almería, in the pre-match press conference, downplayed the importance of direct duels and highlighted his team's streak of six consecutive home victories. He emphasized the group's high morale and their determination to compete for every win, despite the recent loss in Santander.
The opposing coach also praised Málaga CF, noting that in recent matchdays they would be the league leaders and that, despite long-term injuries, they are a team that does "an infinite number of things well." He anticipated a match of great personality, where the start will be fundamental in determining the outcome.
