Javier Aguirre is “focused” on beating Almería to seal Mallorca's permanence

For Javier Aguirre The priority at this time is simple: ensure the permanence of the Majorca in LaLiga this Sunday when they face Almería, bottom of the table and the first team to lose the category in the current season of the Spanish championship.

The Mexican technical director prefers to focus solely on the duel that his team will play in front of their fans, in Son Moix, where with a victory they will officially end the possibility of relegation, the main objective of the Balearic team this season.

“We are very focused. This is the third final that we played after the games against Las Palmas (1-0) and Osasuna (1-1). We do not depend on anyone to achieve our goal and we are four points ahead”“Vasco” Aguirre recalled about the current situation of his Majorca.

And the vermilion team is in 17th place in the LaLiga classification table with 36 points, four more than its closest pursuer, Cádiz, which is fighting to escape the relegation zone where they have already secured their ticket to second division Granada and Almería.

A victory for Mallorca this Sunday at home, regardless of what Cádiz does in its match against Las Palmas, would ensure Javier Aguirre’s team its presence in the top Spanish competition for next season. However, the Mexican does not trust his current rival.

“They play without pressure and that makes them doubly dangerous”commented the experienced coach facing the duel against the team of also Mexican César Montes, who has established himself in the defense of Almería with whom he has already assured that he will be playing next season in the Second Division.

“They are going to demand us, they are going to hug us. It will be a tense match that will force us to be focused. We cannot afford distractions. They have very good players, all with goals and a vast squad. With FC Barcelona they lost, but they created many chances”highlighted the Mexican coach.

Even though Mallorca does not achieve its goal this Sunday, it will still have one more chance to achieve it next weekend when it faces Getafe at the close of the season in Spain, a match that “Vasco” Aguirre is looking forward to arrive with the peace of mind of having fulfilled your duty.

Only in this way will the coach be able to sit down and define his future with Mallorca, a situation about which many rumors have been generated about candidates to take his place next season, something that does not cause any major concern to the Mexican who hopes to be able to continue at the helm. of the team.
