The victory achieved this Sunday by Mallorca against Girona (1-0) in LaLiga It left very good feelings for Mexican coach Javier Aguirre, who was satisfied with his team’s performance during the week in which they also qualified for the Copa del Rey final.
The three points won in Son Moix allowed the Balearic team to take a key step towards its objective of achieving permanence in the midst of a rather irregular season in the Spanish championship that contrasts with the performance shown in the cup where it just eliminated Real Society.
“It has been a very good week, but no one can relax yet. We have many games left to play and on Friday we have a very difficult match against FC Barcelona.”commented “Vasco” Aguirre, satisfied with the good results achieved but without falling into triumphalism.
The Mexican coach also highlighted the fortune they had to keep the three points against one of the revelations of the season, a rival with whom, although they were thrashed in the first round of LaLiga, they had the luxury of eliminating in the quarterfinals. of the King’s Cup.
“(The victory) is good for us because it reinforces our day-to-day work a little. Today we had that little bit of fortune or that self-love to prevent Girona from scoring against us. It is clear that this victory strengthens our spirits. It always helps to be able to work after a victory”assured the technician.
“Vasco” Aguirre also referred to the fact that Mallorca moved eight points away from the relegation places, moving further and further away from the bottom of the standings, their great challenge this season in the Spanish championship.
“You never know. Obviously adding three points will make our work easier. In LaLiga, three teams have never been so low and this is because those at the top are gaining a lot of points. We have to do our thing, end to end without doing the math because then that doesn’t work.”he added.
The experienced Mexican strategist also appreciated how difficult this season has been compared to last season in which they were very close to fulfilling the European dream, something that this time was far away in the middle of a campaign full of irregular moments.
“Last year we were very fortunate, especially towards the end when the teams at the top tied and we were only three points behind Europe. We knew that it was going to be difficult to repeat that and we knew that there were going to be about seven teams as we are.”pointed out about the dispute at the bottom of the classification.
