‘Malaga confident after Madrid draw’

Javi Gracia is adamant last week's draw with Real Madrid has put Malaga in good stead for their match against Real Sociedad on Saturday.

Los Boquerones remain without a goal or a win after six attempts this season, but the Coach is hoping his side can build on on their ability to keep Los Blancos at bay with another positive performance against the Basques.

“We are more excited and confident [after the draw with Madrid], but we need to win as soon as possible,” he said at a Press confidence.

“We took a step forward, but now we need to follow it up [with a win] and not look back so we can draw more positives than we did from the match against Real Madrid.

“I'm not concerned [about the teams' anxiety from not scoring yet] because we have enough experience to deal with it.

“Real Sociedad are a dangerous team, who can exploit any spaces we leave behind, but are also very organised.

“Their midfield has more balance with [Asier] Illarramendi, while they have many options in attack.”
