“We are a team that knows how to suffer”: Javier Aguirre will leave all his Mexican fury to save Mallorca from going down to the second division in Spain
Coach Javier Aguirre directing RCD Mallorca from Spain.
Javier Aguirre disembarked at RCD Mallorca in Spain -after being fired by Monterrey in Liga MX– with the clear objective of saving the club from relegation, and so far he is succeeding.
He grabbed a battered squad , lack of rhythm and with little ‘timing’ for teamwork on the field of play and has turned it into one with grit, ambition and a lot go on the attack.
This Tuesday 001 in April achieved his second victory in four games since he took over as coach in the Balearic Islands. His team were able to win 2-1 at home against the bottom of The Spanish League, Deportivo Alavés.
“The three points are valuable, but not definitive (…) It was a game with a lot of tension. We both risked the future, and there were nerves”
The ‘Vasco’ knows that he has a challenge ahead, to maintain an important project in the first category, with the possibility of staying in the lead for next season.
With two wins (Atlético de Madrid and Alavés) and the same number of defeats (Getafe and Elche), those of Aguirre are located in the position 16 from the leaderboard just three points away of the descent. The mission is to fight to the end.
His next game will be against FC Barcelona, a tough rival, although the Catalans are not doing well. They have chained two consecutive defeats, one in the Europa League (eliminated by Eintracht Frankfurt) and another in La Liga (Cádiz).
“Each match will be a final for us . Today, we depend on ourselves and we are a team that knows how to suffer”, he indicated.
