N'Diaye: "We are last, we cannot think about the quality we have, but about getting out of there"

One of Málaga's most experienced players sings the 'mea culpa', extends it to the locker room and apologizes to the fans


Alfred N'Diaye, one of Málaga's most experienced players, chats with MARCA. The African intones the mea culpa. He extends it to the group and recognizes that the situation is complicated but that there is still a solution. He doesn't hold back when it comes to talking about the sporting problems that the locker room has and apologizes to a hobby that can't be blamed for anything. Neither with Guede nor now with Pepe Mel, Málaga has been able to get a good version. He does not go to the World Cup with Senegal despite having been in the pre-list.

First of all, how is the locker room?

We are fine. The situation is complicated but you have to be positive. It's time to keep working and not lower your arms.

You were talking weeks ago that footballers are privileged. You said that you earn well, you charge well. There can be no pressure or fear here because there are worse situations.

It's my point of view. Football is a job, one of the best in the world, and we are lucky enough to do it. We charge well, it's the truth. I see things like this. We can't have pressure to play football.

What happens to the team so that it is classified last? Have you got a negative idea and it doesn't come out of it? There's Rubén Castro, you... top players in the category. Malaga has a selection of the category

We have a good squad, good players and we have a team to be much better in the standings. We are last, we cannot think about the quality we have, but about getting out of the situation. The good thing is that there is a lot of season left and we are not that far away. Football is not only the feet, it is the head and the mind. I see the team focused and wanting to reverse the situation. I have confidence in working to make things better.

Whose fault is the failure?

It's not Pepe Mel's fault, nor the previous one. The fault is that we have to look ourselves in the face and know what we players have to do. Players have been changed, system, but in the end, we are the ones who play. Each one has to improve their individual performance and that is how the group will arrive.

The fault is that we have to look ourselves in the face and know what we players have to do; everyone should improve their performance

The fans can't take it anymore. The anger is great, the response is total despite being at the bottom and he sees no reaction from the team.

It is normal that they are not happy. They have told us that they are with us and that they support us until the end, but that we must also comply and do our job. In other words, we all go out together, but we have to improve. In the club, this point of view of the fans is understood. 17,000 people in Second to see a team that is last. We appreciate but I always go to the same point: You have to fulfill on the field.

The Cup is coming, but Zaragoza and Ponferradina are two finals

For me, they are very important games, but you also have to think game by game. I don't want to go that far. First, focus on the Cup, Zaragoza... Every game is going to die. We are in a situation where we need points, not to wait for February. We need a good run. We can't afford to lose anymore.

Pepe Mel knows you well, what is he asking you for? You've played pivot, 'box to box', even central...

The coach knows me very well, for many years. My best positions are '6' and '8'. But I can play in more. We have many midfielders, for example, Genaro and Luis don't play the same. The coach asks me to adapt with the players next to me. In my last stage I scored five goals. we have to start

Sometimes FIFA does things I don't understand. You have to accept it. I hope it will be a good World Cup, but for me, it has to be in the summer

Rare to see a World Cup almost in winter. The World Cup, just around the corner, what do you think of your country's list? you stayed out...

Sometimes FIFA does things I don't understand. You have to accept it. Hopefully, it will be a good World Cup, but for me, it has to be in the summer. Prettier. The Second doesn't stop, so everyone wants to see their country. It's crazy. I was in the preselection. The coach called me telling me that he was thinking about it. I think we have a good team and we can do great things. We have players who are in the best teams in Europe: Sadio Mané, Kalidou Koulibaly, or Edouard Mendy. I will see mine

Honda looks even worse than what Marc Márquez says

Image
 Alberto Puig, director of Repsol Honda, confesses that they need to take three steps to make a competitive motorcycle by 2023. "We have not yet found the right direction," he warns Marc Márquez did not beat around the bush in Cheste. After the Valencia test, he was forceful when it came to analyzing the 2023 Honda. He could not hide his disappointment with the prototype that gave him the golden wing mark. "Honda is working, they are trying and they have brought a new bike, but we need more if we want to fight for the World Cup. With what we have here we will not fight for the World Cup," he said. And he also sent another notice to his squad: "They already told me that they would have to take one more step for Malaysia, in February, but one is not worth it. They have to take two." A strong warning for navigators... Well, at Honda they agree with their star driver. The sharp criticism of the eighth champion has even fallen short of the claims of the managem...
