The coach of Royal Majorca, Javier Aguirreit is not clear if it is better to receive this Sunday a Athletic Bilbao that last weekend they beat Betis 4-2 or better yet face them after the loss. “I’ve been thinking about it, but you never know,” he said this Saturday in a press conference. “What is clear to me is that we must offer a good feeling before the next league break and if we can draw or beat Athletic, all the better.” “Although we only have 1 point out of a possible 9 and we are weakening, I think we are on the right track and we will get back on track,” said ‘Vasco’.
Aguirre blames his team’s bad start on not having “ideal positions” for some of his players.” He could blame the problem on the referees, on VAR, but no. There are players like Darder, Larín, and now Nastasic, who arrived yesterday, they have to find their point on the field”, he specified.
The Mexican coach assured that he is “happy” with the squad he has. “A good team remains, yes, I think it’s different from last year, because eight players left and another eight came”, he pointed out. “Now that we are complete, with two players in each position, we are looking for a good game system and finding ideal positions for some football players”, he insisted.
Muriqi will continue to take penalties
The scoring drought of striker Vedat Muriqi and the fact that the Kosovar player had already missed two penalties at the start of the League, caused “a little chat” between the footballer and the coach. “Muriqi will continue taking penalties”, Aguirre has resoundingly assured. “Despite everything, I see him as good, strong, and he is our offensive reference,” he told reporters. He also said that “playing in a line with four defenders is an alternative we are considering to our usual system of five.”
Against Athletic Club, Aguirre lost the injured Antonio Raíllo and the doubt Omar Mascarell, who has plantar fasciitis. The now rojiblanco player Íñigo Ruiz de Galarreta will return to Son Moix, after going through Real Mallorca. “He is an ideal, charming boy, I will give him a very tender hug but this time I will not ask him, of course…”.
