The Argentine striker made a dream debut for Malaga following his deadline day loan transfer from Benfica, scoring one goal and laying down an assist in 3-1 win over Levante.
Following their financial debacle which came up during the 2012 summer transfer window, Malaga continue to impress in the first weeks of the current La Liga season. The Andalusian club registered their third victory of the season with new boy, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Saviola-c18090,
to thank for.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and Real Madrid player opened the scoring for his new employers before going on to assist Joaquin Sanchez’s goal at the hour mark. Saviola was understandably pleased with his performance and did not shy away from revealing his feelings
in the post match media interaction.
“Things could not have gone better on my debut and I wasn’t expecting anything like this after all the problems the club has gone through, but I know I’ve joined a very united squad.”
“There was something in my head that told me I had to come here and that it was my destiny,” Saviola remarked.
After a disappointing final season at Estadio da Luz, Saviola was full of praise for his new club. The 30-year-old striker praised the quality individuals in the roster, and especially http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-c23383 Pellegrini, for his tactical nuance.
“Technically this team is very good with some quality players and we have a Coach who has a football philosophy we must be thankful for as he does not put the emphasis on physical domination.”
Saviola shared that he is happy at his new hunting ground and is motivated to give his best for Malaga. Continuing on the topic, the pint sized attacker promised to entertain Los Anchovies fans during his stay at La Rosaleda.
“I am now content and motivated. I promise I am going to enjoy myself here and make the Malaga fans really happy,” he added.
Malaga are currently second in La Liga points table, two points behind runaway leaders Barcelona, and have an equal distance on Mallorca and Sevilla, who trail with 8 points.
Following their Spanish top flight footballing adventures, Manuel Pellegrini’s charges will turn their attention to UEFA Champions League. Malaga entertain the challenge of Zenit St Petersburg in their first European group stage fixture.
