“Players are very aware of social networks and what you write”

Javier AguirreMexican coach of Majorcaconsider this Saturday that the Real Betis He is a rival “who is very difficult to hurt; he does not burn the ball, he is patient and does not rush”. “This is a team of the author, because you recognize the work of the engineer (Manuel Pellegrini) at Betis and also at Villarreal,” said Aguirre, in the conference before the game that the Verdiblancos and Vermilion will play this Sunday at the Benito Villamarín stadium .

“Betis handle and defend themselves very well with the ball. They have very long possessions and gather a lot of people inside; yes, I expect a recognizable opponent because of the style of their coach, even the fact that they removed from the Europa League (by Roma) has a double interpretation”, added ‘Vasco’.

Mallorca has lost its last five trips, a negative streak that “at the group level we have not touched,” Aguirre said. “These defeats do not affect the good or for the worse. I never refer to the past or with defeats or victories. I don’t and I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but it’s my custom . Anyone will say that with five losses (away from Son Moix) we are liquidated and I don’t know if the players are affected because they know very well the social networks and what you write. I is isolate myself to be not to see myself influenced in my speech to them (the football players)”, he commented to journalists the Mallorcan coach.

Kang-in moment

Aguirre also referred to the return of the team’s top scorer with ten goals, Vedat Muriqi, who was absent due to suspension against Real Sociedad, and whether the fact of the presence of the Kosovar player increased his team’s chances against Legs. “There is no individuality above the collective. Muriqi has qualities that Abdón (Prats) and Ángel (Rodríguez) do not have. Both helped Vedat raise their numbers,” he said.

“There were games where other players, the goalkeeper (Rajkovic), Raillo, Maffeo or Martín (Valjent) also stood out. Now it’s time for Kang (In Lee, author of the equalizing goal and the great Mallorcan figure against Real Society) and that benefits the team”, added Javier Aguirre, who finally confirmed that the Uruguayan Giovanni González will replace Valjent in the backbone.
