Pellicer praised the DNA of Mel's Las Palmas

Málaga manager Sergio Pellicer warned about the challenge ahead on Sunday against Las Palmas at La Rosaleda, saying that his team will come up against "a side with a very clear DNA, with young players that are good going forward".

Pellicer stated in a press conference on Saturday that the side from Gran Canaria would bring "intense pressure", and that they like "an open game with lots of gaps".

When asked about creating chances, the coach recognised that "they generate more going forward", and said that the malagueñans would have to "stay strong defensively". "We have to grow into the game", he concluded.

The Spanish coach also praised his own squad and how they were shaping up after the transfer market.
