Javier Aguirrecoach of Real Mallorcaknow the environment and how the CD plays Egüés Valley, a team currently in group II of the Second RFEF and this Wednesday (7:00 pm) will be the rival of the Balearic team in the second round of the Copa del Rey. “It is a big, beautiful field, with artificial grass, where my son, as a child, played when we came to Spain to coach Osasuna,” recalled ‘Vasco’, a few hours before the fight.

“Egüés is the typical Navarrese team, which plays direct football, has two or three quality midfielders, a good goalkeeper, and is good in secondary plays,” Aguirre said in a press conference.

The Mexican coach declared that his team “must win.” “Even if we don’t do bad, in the League we don’t win, and we have a chance to do it in the Cup; we go there with full respect for the rival, but with a big desire for victory”, he specified. “I have friends and a lot of famous people there that I wish the best, but this Wednesday we will try to win…”

Aguirre will leave some players who usually start in Palma, like Pablo Maffeo, Antonio Raíllo or the injured Vedat Muriqi, and call up some players from Mallorca B (Marcos, Luna, Mascaró, Quintanilla, etc.). “That does not mean that we will stop being a First Division team and therefore it is our obligation to win,” he insisted. “I don’t like the streak we’re having in the League and this is our chance to rediscover success,” he stressed.

When asked about the next league match against Sevilla at Son Moix, Aguirre was clear: “The most important thing, now, is Egüés; we will not respect a rival who is in the Cup and play very motivated.” . Aguirre wanted to emphasize that the artificial grass “in no case will not be the reason that things will not go well for us.”
