Málaga sends a warning with Aznou: impresses in training ahead of his debut
Adam Aznou is already starting to make an impression at Málaga CF even before playing his first official minutes. His training sessions have left a positive feeling both with the coaching staff and among his new teammates, who especially highlight his technical level.

DFThe battle for the full-back spot promises to gain intensity. Salinas put in a positive performance against the Levante, with a first half in which he offered better sensations than during the summer friendlies. The player on loan from Espanyol is growing, while Aznou is starting to win over from the training sessions.
The young defender, who joined the Málaga on the penultimate day of the transfer window, has been training under Juanfran Funes since last Wednesday. He has not yet made his debut, but within the squad his first appearances have drawn attention. According to Radio MARCA Málaga, a phrase is starting to be repeated among his teammates: «watch out for Aznou».
The Barcelona-born full-back, who turned 20 years old at the start of the summer, stands out for his attacking qualities. Funes and his coaching staff believe he has enough ability to compete for a place in the starting XI.
The competition, the next test for Aznou
The unknown now is to see how he responds when the matches arrive. In training he is physically in the middle of the group, although the competitive pace of a demanding league and the schedule facing Málaga create a different scenario. Aznou stays calm and waits for his chance without rushing.
His own message during the presentation already reflected that confidence in his physical condition. «I am at 100%. I had my pre-season with Everton, I was able to play preparation friendlies, and I am at the disposal of whatever the coach wants. I am taking it on with enthusiasm. I have experience in the league; I was in Valladolid for six months. I knew how to handle the situation I was in, and now I come to support the team and be one more», he explained to the media.
While Aznou tries to carry those good feelings into competition, Salinas has also raised his level. His match against Levante strengthened his case and leaves the fight for the full-back spot open: the newcomer is winning over supporters inside the club, and the player on loan from Espanyol is on an upward trajectory.
