Javier Aguirre perfect summary of what happened in Mallorca on Saturday at Anoeta, against Real Sociedad: “He doesn’t want to come in,” declared the Mexican coach of the Balearic team. With 90 minutes of play left, a narrow defeat (1-0) and the feeling that the vermillion team deserved more from their visit to Donostia.
And the data proves that, as he said Aguirre, the ball doesn’t want to go in. Because he tried to test it Majorca more than ever in this day and age. Because of the statistics of the clash Vermillions finished 18 times, whether on goal, in the post or outside.
18 shots that were not enough to score a point, whether due to poor goalkeeping, bad luck (had a shot against the crossbar at the last breath) or the work of Alex Remiro, one of the great architects of the success of San Sebastian.
The 18 shots of Majorca multiply the team’s signing average by more than two The league: In the previous nine rounds, he finished an average of 8.6 times per game. At Anoeta, 18. He did it more than 15 times at Girona, where he scored as many as three goals to lose 5-3. In Donostia, he tried it up to three more times. Not really. He didn’t want to go in, he said Javier Aguirre.
