MADRID, 9 Apr. (SportsFinding) –
The Mallorca coach, Javier Aguirre, was “very satisfied” after his team’s victory this Saturday against Atlético de Madrid (1-0) and assured that at the end of the game “surprisingly” he was “calm”, something that due to “age” he said at a press conference.
“You have to understand that Atlético de Madrid was in front of them, that they are playing for a place in the Champions League semi-finals, that they played a very serious game and this gives double value to the victory. A game with very few chances but we were fortunate that the penalty fell on our side”, analyzed the Mexican.
“The players understand that this is the way to go. We have to put individuality at the service of the team. Football has this team, but suddenly so many defeats have been a bigger and bigger burden and it’s sapping your spirits. And today I think the boys They take enormous pressure off themselves. Beyond the size of the rival”, he added proudly.
“It has been too hard for the boys and I got on the ship that was already on the high seas with that load of defeats, defeats and defeats and you are falling behind. But we took advantage of the fact that the two closest rivals lost and it gave us a lot of encouragement to work this week with the same illusion that we have been having”, affirmed the ‘Vasco’.
Asked by the audience at the Visit Mallorca Estadi, Aguirre pointed out that it was a “fantastic experience”. “I was delighted, the people involved with the team, not because of the goal, but also throughout the match. I saw many women and children, it attracts a lot of attention and the seed of Majorcanism is being sown,” he said.
“In the end he was letting himself go, everyone was yelling at the referee and there we were all making an effort to win. Surprisingly he was calm but the bench was not. It must be his age,” Aguirre commented.
Finally, regarding the change of sides for the local bench, the Mexican coach stated that he “did not remember” where he was because “the last time” he was in Mallorca he was “suspended”. “I’m anything but superstitious, I like that side but I don’t think it’s relevant either.”
“It has not been intentional, far from it. I could defend the right side for something in particular, but no. It is something without thinking and in the warm-up they already scolded me. I did not understand anything but I respect the superstitions of the whole world, “concluded the vermilion preparer.
