Javier Aguirre admits that defeating Real Madrid at home will be difficult, but Mallorca football will do the best they can.
Mallorca coach Javier Aguirre admits that defeating Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu is very difficult. But he is also hoping for a win from Wednesday’s encounter. According to a report from Marca last Tuesday ทางเข้า UFABET
‘It’s hard to beat Real Madrid at home.’ Aguirre said. ‘Usually they play more in your midfield. Last year we were 1-0 up, they turned things around and Valverde equalized. They punish us in the end. I was expecting a similar game. With few scoring opportunities for us. We have to be accurate and take our chances.’
Aguirre said:
‘They will have more possession and more chances. We have to defend and develop with the ball. I want more individual characteristics with the ball and try to win the game. I saw a chance to win there. The probability of losing is higher than in other fields. But we will definitely compete and try to take advantage of the opportunities we have.’
The Mexican coach further confirmed that. Kosovo striker Vedat Muriqi, who scored at the Santiago Bernabeu last season will miss Wednesday’s match due to injury.
‘I don’t think Muriqi will play in January. We’re keeping him conservatively and I think that’s the best thing. It’s a very strange injury.’
Aguirre also congratulated Carlo Ancelotti on extending his contract with Real Madrid until 2026, saying: ‘I’m delighted that Ancelotti has extended his contract. It’s an honor for the league. He is a great trainer and the person that he is, the best thing Real Madrid has done is provide continuity with the trainer. I’m also amazed by Bellingham every time he steps into the area. He doesn’t leave a chance. It’s the same Real Madrid we’ve always faced. Compete and never give up. It’s very difficult to win at the Bernabeu, I was lucky enough to win twice. But I lost more than that.’
