Ian Mackay, footballer and ideal person for the decisive moment

Experience and seniority are always a plus. This does not mean that everything went well in your career. Bad situations always harden you more than good ones, because you’ve thought about them more than once, wondered what you did wrong, and that helps you mature. Having veterans in certain positions not only gives you a good game (which we can all make mistakes in the end) but also to manage what Dépor entails. In that sense, Ian is the ideal footballer and person for this moment, because he feels a lot for the club, is a good person and is always there for everything that is asked of him.

In terms of concentration, I really liked participating in the team trip, and the more you make contact with the ball or feel important in aspects other than stopping, the easier it is to survive. If you opt in, the gatekeeper is active. In any case, in these kinds of matches, due to the pressure of the game, concentration does not give way so easily. You can be nervous, but more because of how the game is going or if you get attacked a lot, than because of other concerns.

A goalkeeper experiences pressure in a different way than any other player, because the feelings of all teams are felt very well. You have them in front of you, and there are always moments when you look at your own and other people’s. You see a striker from 70 meters away and you already feel if he shoots with confidence or if he does it thinking that he could have passed a teammate. For this reason, there are so many good coaches who were goalkeepers, because we always go into detail about training and matches..

Regarding Deportivo’s rematch with Castellón, the first thing I want to say is that this is a great team, created for promotion and with quality people. It is true that Deportivo did not give the same measure away as at Riazor, but now they have a different coach, a I am sure that Rubén de la Barrera will prepare something different for Castalia. It’s a party of playand it will be difficult for both teams, of course, but in matches like this it is better to take advantage of good moments, those in which you throw yourself at the opponent’s goal and connect two or three good attacks, than other situations such as possession for a long time.

It is true that De la Barrera arrived with the league almost finished and that his hand will not be noticed in the game model, but he also has the advantage that with him the team was not bad outside. His arrival also meant a change in the mood of the players. There is only one game left until the final, the worst has already happened, it is only important here and now.
