Javier Aguirre after the fall of Mallorca: “We have four finals ahead of us for permanence”

The defeat suffered by Mallorca this Saturday against Atlético Madrid (0-1) It was a hard blow for Mexican coach Javier Aguirre who, despite everything, remains confident that they will be able to achieve the goal of ensuring permanence for the next LaLiga season.

“Vasco” Aguirre seemed calm after the match in Son Moix that was defined by a goal from the Spanish Rodrigo Riquelme at the beginning of the match. The experienced strategist of the Balearic team tried to minimize the damage from this new setback, the third in the last five games of the local tournament.

“We need to add, but we have to go game by game, as Cholo says” (Simeone). Today we tried but it is very difficult to get ahold of Atlético de Madrid, even more so when they take the lead on the scoreboard.”commented the Mexican in the press conference after the duel against the colchoneros.

For Javier Aguirre, the early goal of the Madrid team gave them an advantage that they knew how to take advantage of throughout the match in which Mallorca was not effective in front of the rival goal, which ended up taking its toll and taking them away from their goal of definitively escaping relegation. .

“They scored and went back looking for the counterattack. They add the three points in a close match, with a lot of equality. Although we had opportunities we did not take advantage of them”added the coach of the vermilion team who still has the power to secure his ticket for next season in his hands.

“But we have to continue competing in search of the points we are missing. We have four finals ahead of us for permanence. That’s our DNA, competing. We are an honest team and we will continue in that line”said the Mexican technical director.

Regarding his future at the helm of Mallorca, Javier Aguirre once again seemed calm while waiting for his situation to be defined, although the Mexican coach reiterated that he feels comfortable in the team and in the city where he has spent the last two seasons and where He would like to continue for a while longer.

“When this is over we will talk. In Mallorca my wife and I are very happy, I have always said that.”assured the Mexican who is still not clear if he will continue to lead the team he joined in 2022 and has spent the last two seasons achieving good results.

Let us remember that the Mexican arrived at a difficult time and secured salvation and last season he was very close to putting the team in positions in European competition. This year he gave the surprise by sneaking into the final of the Copa del Rey in which he ended up losing on penalties to Athletic Club.
