Málaga does not give more importance to its defeat yesterday against Karlsruher

It was the first match of this preseason and Javi Gracia took the opportunity to make up to nine changes. He needed to see things and, in fact, he reviewed the match video with his assistants before going to bed. Another two hours of work.

Nordin Amrabat, who has scored the first goal of this summer, did not give much importance to the 3-1 defeat against this German team. "I am not happy because we lost. The most important thing is to be fit and for the team to adapt to the new players. We have to be fit and in good condition. It is not important to win or lose in preseason. The result is not important. It is more important to be ready for the first official match against Sevilla, which will be more prepared because they have to play the UEFA Super Cup".

The Dutch-Moroccan believes that a more adjusted version of the team can be seen in the first summer match played in Málaga. "In the Costa del Sol Trophy we will be better. Right now, the most important thing is to listen to the coach. Work on tactical aspects and be fit".

The forward admitted that, although he felt good, he still lacks rhythm as is normal at this time of year. "I felt good. It was very hot. My body was not at 100% because I have been through Ramadan (the sacred ritual of the Muslim religion that ended last Thursday night). We have to keep working".

Regarding the tremendous temperature during the match, Recio had a lot of humor. "The heat was suffocating. We thought it would be less hot than in Málaga and look... We moved the ball well and right now we have to focus on the work. We are happy with how the preseason is going. The team is progressing. In this match we had our chances, three. We have to keep working".

Málaga changed the morning training for a recovery session with cryotherapy. At 19:00, the team will train thinking about tomorrow's match against Freiburg (17:30), which will close the stay in Germany.
