Meeting Highlights…MOOD
Moods can be different. My team is very focused and knows how to do things. It is the third final in a week. It's a very mental game, because you know you can't make any mistakes. We have saved them more or less and now we do not depend on anyone and we want to win tomorrow and give permanence to the fans.
…OPPONENT
It gives the feeling, since Pepe Mel arrived, that without pressure they are playing very good football.
…RAILLO
Today he has also trained on the sidelines. There is one casualty, Van der Heyden, who has had surgery on his collarbone and has suffered. Raíllo actually had some blisters before Osasuna and had to be punctured. All this week they have been drying them. It's between cotton. Today he trained on the bike to avoid planting his foot, but I hope he will be there tomorrow.
…ABOUT THE MATCH
I want to win. Beyond the system we need to score goals, please and have a round match. I don't want to go crazy or get back on the team. They have a lot of firepower in attack and I don't want surprises, I need a serious game.

Pepe Mel
Manager on Almeria...INJURY REPORT
Today Dion Lopy was injured and we will be attentive to what the extent is. Beyond physical fatigue, there will be many changes in the eleven with fresh people and players who want to show things. It's a game where the opponent plays a lot, so we have to be serious on the field. Édgar is recovered. Just like Rado, he's not here for 90 minutes, like Édgar can be. For this reason, Paco Sanz will be able to be with the reserve team and will help the team.
...MALLORCA
Mallorca is playing everything. They have reached the final of the Copa del Rey. It is an intense team, like all of Javier Aguirre's. They are strong in the aerial ball, with players like Raíllo. They play direct.
...IMPROVEMENT
One is a slave to his words. I can only talk about my messages. Since March 14, we have tried to push the car and help improve the team. Unfortunately it was confirmed that the team lost the category. Football-wise, the team has created. From there, individual talent comes in. Surely, when a team is relegated, it has to change quite a few things. You have to do a lot of self-criticism. The team that goes down always has a hard time going up. You have to be strict about the things that have not worked.
...CHANGE IN GOAL
The idea is for Fernando to play tomorrow. One of the good things about this locker room is that the three goalkeepers have behaved. They are great professionals. Tomorrow Fernando will have the opportunity.
