There should have been a few updates but time crossed that plan. either way, micho is doing well with Malaga. He was also called up for the World Cup qualifiers on Friday and yesterday. In the match on Friday he made a mistake that lead to a goal and an entire wave of hate swapped in his directions. That the entire team played horrible didn't help the fact that he was almost solely blamed for the defeat. Yes, it was a mistakes but defenders make mistakes. And said mistakes wouldn't have  happened had not the midfield lost the ball for the millionth time leaving the defense line entirely alone. According to sources the audience made no secret out of their thoughts and Micho left the felt in tears. However, that might be the defeat itself. It isn't likely that he will be called up again but in the end it's probably for the best. He has never been much appreciated and the hounds only waited for this to happen. It is now more than ever important to fully concentrate on Malaga. They are doing good as expected. The goal isn't the lead but a european place and they have to defend this now. It won't be easy as the team is still young and still finding itself but I'm confident that Pellegrini will know how to work with his men. I've posted a few pics on tumblr and I can't honestly promise to update this community frequently but I'm trying my best. Still, if anyone want to help out, post something etc. let me know. I'm grateful for all the help I can get.

There's so much to say but there's not enough time. Seriously. Malaga is doing well. Although they only tied at the weekend they won fabulously before against Bilbao. Micho was great in both games. He really is fit and in form and therefore ready for the match against Getafe. Hopefully the boys will gain another 3 points. I'm currently on the hunt for pics and vids but it's not that easy. You can certainly find material on the official Malaga Website but if anyone wants to contribute let me know.

Little Video. Anyone can translate?

In other news Malaga lost their first match in La Liga against Sevilla. It's not a tragedy as I'm sure they will start winning next time.  Besides now it's time to concentrate on the upcoming friendly against Venezuela, which will take place today. In European Time it's around 15.30. As far as I know it's around nine or ten am in Argentina. Vamos!

Well, and bad news as due to the strike the upcoming match against Barcelona most likely will be canceled. However, good news! Micho is part of the Argentina Squad at their tour! He'll part of the team to take on Venezuela in Calcutta and Nigeria in Dhaka at the start of September (the 2nd and 6th, respectively). If he does well, which I'm always sure he will, this could also put him on the list for the upcoming WC Qualifiers. One can only hope :)

With Lj being down more often than it should I have to make a quick compressed update. Málaga is doing pretty awesome. They are winning their test games, the crowd is overwhelmed by excitment, new sponsor, unesco. Everything really well organized. Let's hope they can keep this amazing spirit up throughout most of the season. In the meantime Micho is twittering quite frequently so you should check that out :)  @demichelisok Furthermore here is the recent interview at diariosur.es and here is the translation, thanks to the ever wonderful zimena (if you are a penarol fan and note that they will play Málaga very soon in a friendly check out her norwegian Pénarol twitter account out: @Penarol_Norge

( Interview )


Of course the greatness of whoever did that interview also blessed with a video:

and two gorgeous pics, too small but still:




Malaga's channel on youtube also provides videos from the whole Holland trip and more. Check it out.

I'm currently thinking about making this whole community a website instead because as said in the beginning LJ sucks lately. I also saw the fuckyeahdemichelis is not much in use on tumblr. Perhaps I do a tumblr thing as well. However, I'm bad with coding so that might take me longer. I'm on vaccation by the end of August so maybe I'll get it done then. In the meantime enjoy what's there :)

On Malaga's official website you can watch Malaga TV and watch countless videos of the training. I think it's quite exciting as you can feel there is something building up. Can't wait for the season to start. Although, Barca is quite a tough first opponent but on the other hand it doesn't really matter. This first game will only show Pellegrini's what works and what not. And who knows ... The Boys showed a lot of spirit in dire times last Season. Some are gone, some are new but the spirit remains. There are several Twitter accounts to follow by the way to keep up with all things Malaga FC. I'm currently thinking of making this a real website or maybe a wordpress blog. We'll see. In the meantime spread the word and whoever is new, please join and make yourself known.

Lots of love,
bibi

Naturally I'd love to have a translation. I did translate a few things myself but still, a better one than my translator spat out would be lovely.
That he looks fabulous is without a question and it's strange to see Ruud running next to him :)

Grande new opening with news and stuff soon. In the meantime a little change. Only members can comment now and all comments must be made in english. Otherwise I spent a gazillion years to delete all suspicious comments :)

Quick note: Micho is with his fabulous team currently in Alicante to prepare for the new season.
