The Real defender Mallorca Brian Oliván has described the visit of Real Sporting de Gijón next Sunday to Son Moix as a “great opportunity” to distance yourself in the table from a direct rival in the fight for promotion and described the match as “a final”
“For us it is a very important game because it would be leaving a direct rival at a certain distance. We take it as a final. I think it is going to be a very difficult game and we are going to have to do things very well, “said Oliván at a telematic press conference.
Mallorca is second in the silver category of Spanish football with 25 points, has not lost for eleven consecutive days and his goal has only conceded two goals. Sporting occupies third place, with 23.
“We cannot relax, but we have very clear ideas,” said the vermilion side.
“We know that we have to do our best to win the games. Both the match against Girona that we won (0-1) and that of Sporting they are a litmus test to know the level of the team “, added the Catalan defender.
Olivan has been one of the new additions this season and has had minutes with the coach Luis García Plaza. “I am delighted both for living on the island and with the team,” he explained.
“I am in the ideal place to succeed. I knew it was a very exciting and important project for me. I wanted to have a good year and so far we have started very well. I see the players with a lot of ambition and with a lot of hunger. That is something necessary to achieve the goal at the end of the season “, concluded the former player of Valladolid, Girona, Granada and Cádiz, among other teams.
