Javier Aguirre, Mallorca’s Mexican coach, did not want to talk about the King’s Cup final against Athletic Club, and only admitted questions about Girona, rival this Sunday in the league.
“The League is what gives us life,” Aguirre settled at a press conference. “We are not here to get excited (in the league championship) and we cannot get lost. At home we have to become strong. What matters is Gironaa candidate to surprise you for the League title, the Champions League, and whatever it takes,” he noted.
Vasco Aguirre does not want to make mistakes against Girona
The “Vasco” recalled the first leg clash in Girona, in which the Catalan team passed them “over the top”, he admitted, defeating him 5-3.
“We cannot make the same mistakes. We weren’t good, we didn’t enter the game well either, we were soft and we lost our essence. They made many attacks on us, they beat us. “We have learned our lesson and we will not give them so many facilities.”
Regarding the physical state in which his players will arrive after the 120 minutes played this Tuesday in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey against Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena, with penalty extra time included, the Mexico City coach admitted that That was a topic whose answer he would know “tomorrow.”
“The game ended very late. We did not train the next day, when we returned to Palma, and the League took away one day from its calendar. Girona forces you to run and we will surely use up the five substitutions. I am more concerned about the physical state than the mental state of the footballers, who are very focused,” said Javier Aguirre.
