The absence of the famous 'fear clause' makes it possible for forward Fer Niño to play the match between Mallorca and Villarreal this Sunday. Loaned by the Castellón club to the Balearic Islands on the edge of the transfer market closing, the famous clause that prevents the player from facing his home club does not appear in the transfer contract, so the coach, Luis García Plaza, can count on a player who has earned the title with the vermilions.
Niño made his debut for Mallorca on matchday two, coming off the bench and scoring the winning goal in Mendizorroza (0-1) for his team. From there, in the following matches against Espanyol and Athletic he has started. Now he hopes to repeat before his former teammates in a match that, he admits, will be strange: “After almost six years there, a little weird yes it is done, but I am psyched with my team that is Mallorca and let's see if we can beat Villarreal to score three very important points for us. “
After the defeat in Bilbao, the vermilion want to regain their sensations and previous results, knowing that they are facing a great rival, that is to say, Champions team and champion of the last Europa League. In this regard, Niño affirms that “we are very motivated against a high-level rival and we are eager after the defeat against Athletic”.
Regarding 'his' Villarreal, Fer Niño assures that it is a team that “with the years improves, every year it has a better team and we are facing a game that is going to be very difficult, We are going to have to work very hard, run a lot and have the ball, we have to try to take it away from them so they don't feel comfortable. “
But not only Niño is going to face his club of origin, also Jaume Costa and Take Kubo who wore yellow last season, while two ex-Bemellions like Gerard Moreno and Estupiñán return to the island.
