Meeting Highlights…ON MATCH
It's going to be very difficult, we know it. We came from a match in which the rival was determined and executed well within the areas, and we did not. The coaching staff believes in the players they have, we know that we must find our best version, and that now we are far from it. Our weapons must be work and perseverance. Winning is going to take us to work and the conviction of everyone to carry it out.
…ON MALLORCA
They are very difficult to beat. They have a coach who knows how to optimize the resources he has available, achieving great results. They are a physical team, with a good direct game, and that takes advantage of the counterattack and spaces very well.
…INJURIES
We must find a solution to the problems that are coming, we are in a complex situation. Players are not falling due to muscle issues, there are more accidents. It's ankles, knees, falls, strange things. It's football and you have to overcome it. All these problems have to give us strength so that those available make that extra effort. We would need to have the footballers, but we are a team that needs to train. From that point of view, we are satisfied to be able to count on this week.

Javier Aguirre
Manager on Mallorca…TEAM CONDITIONS
Today they were still fatigued. I think that between now and tomorrow, a short flight... They will rest well and be fine. The physios and the doctor are doing a good job.
…PLAYERS
Muriq is not one hundred percent. I'm going to take him but he's not there to play. Jaume Costa and Valjent are one hundred percent ready. I will decide if he starts or if they come off the bench but they are both one hundred percent. Larin looks better. I don't care about the goals, I want him to be seen alive on the field. Now it is well integrated.
…OPPONENT
They have losses and they have conceded but they have impressive individual talent. From the outside, injuries have punished them a lot. It is not easy to make decisions regarding the coach. Marcelino had already been there but they are streaks.
