The thousand Real Mallorca fans who came this Wednesday to watch the only friendly match their team will play in Palma in the current preseason (against Sporting de Gijón), had the opportunity to applaud their idol, the striker who Vedat Muriqi, who played his first minutes. as a player for the Balearic team (last season he did it on loan from SS Lazio).
Muriqí jumped onto the field in the 62nd minute and although he didn’t play much, he was the most applauded of the afternoon.
At the start, Javier Aguirre put together an eleven that could be a Liga starter, with the changes of Vedat Muriqi for Abdón Prats and perhaps goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic for Leo Román. Another day, Mallorca’s Mexican coach chose to put together a team with three central defenders and two full-backs with good ball skills, such as Maffeo and Jaume Costa. Baba acted as a defensive pivot and Grenier as an organizer, Lago Junior and Dani Rodríguez as midfielders, and only Abdón as a forward.
In the first action of the attack, it was 1-0. A deep pass by Antonio Raíllo and Dani Rodríguez, with a cross shot, beat Mariño. For their part, Sporting reacted seven minutes later with a good shot from Campuzano that almost went wide and another arrival from Cristo who, after Copete had left, put the ball into the hands of Leo Román. Sportinguista coach, ‘Pitu’ Abelardo, chose a line-up full of players from the quarry. The first half ended 1-0.
After the break, Abelardo changed almost the whole team and Sporting came to control the midfield. Then, Mallorca chose to send balls to Muriqi, in search of a Kosovar goal, which did not come. After four games, Mallorca have three wins and one draw, and still haven’t conceded any goals.
