Iraola: “Barça was the most difficult rival that could touch us in the Cup”

Match against Mallorca: “It is the third of this week, all very demanding and to see how we can deal with it. The level is very high, the numbers are there. Mallorca comes without losing any away game. They have conceded, so far, three goals in the League out. That gives you pause, it grants very little. Everything we get we are going to have to earn. “

What encounter awaits: “Both of us are going to try to dominate through possession. We are both playing quite high and we are going to try to do it in the opposite field. Considering the numbers there will not be excessive goals, but then you do not know where the games are going to break. It will be difficult to generate because nobody has done it. “

Rotations: “The team is doing well at the head level. It is the third game of the week and the players' legs are going to notice it. We have to assess whether it is convenient for someone to play everything or introduce something new. We will wait until the end” .

Streaks of both: “Mallorca is one of the three teams that is quite above the rest. We are there, in a good dynamic. It is evident that the game is complicated because their numbers show it.”

The Barça, rival in Glass: “I did not like the draw. In the end, it was one of the worst teams that could touch us, what you want is to have more options to advance. Obviously, we will fight it, being aware that the main thing is the League championship, but it is clear that among those who could fall us it was one of the most difficult “.
