He Malaga CF The club has not had time to assimilate the promotion and already has to finish outlining its pre-season in preparation for the return to the Second Division. In previous campaigns, summer schedules were prepared that included two games on the same day and even the dispute of different summer trophies in Antequera, Granada or Jerez, but this time it will be very different.
The season of 45 official matches has taken its toll on Málaga CF and the This summer’s preparation will be focused on training and physical recovery to be able to face a campaign that will have, at least, 42 matches for Pellicer’s team.
Preseason
The team will join in full on Monday July 15th to pass the physical tests, but from the previous week those players who are in the city will be able to speed up the medical examinations. From then on, the training plan will start and will last only one month because on August 17 the road begins in LaLiga Hypermotion against Racing de Ferrol.

For this preseason, Malaga has chosen to concentrate on Estepona in August. The ‘stages’ are usually done in the first weeks of preseason to reinforce the physical load by working in double sessions, but on this occasion The club has decided that it will be ten days before starting the league in order to reinforce the cohesion and understanding of a squad that will already have several new faces, and that starts with the advantage of maintaining the block from the previous campaign.
Three friendly matches
The big changes will come in the number of matches. The proximity to the Marbella Football Center complex has allowed them in recent years to organize their preseasons with a large number of teams of all kinds. Friendlies against Almería or Alcorcón were practically fixed in the white and blue preseason. On this occasion Pellicer’s coaching staff has decided to reduce the number of matches to a minimum and there will be three that will be disputed by the anchovies.

While it remains to be seen whether Malaga will be invited to any summer trophy, The Costa del Sol dispute is also practically ruled out and fans who wish to see their players will have to travel outside the city. On other occasions, matches have been played in Marbella o Coinwhich could be the chosen venues in the event that the match is against a team that is in the province preparing.
All the objectives are to recover the legs of the players who made history in Tarragona on June 22. With the shorter holidays will also come an atypical preseason. And from there, a new path to explore in the Second Division.
