Gaizka Garitano has answered in Lezama to the questions that the media have telematically sent in the previous day to the Athletic-Mallorca game that will be played at San Mamés (Saturday, 2.00 p.m.).
The red-and-white coach expects a “tough” rival, motivated by the needs of being at the bottom of the table: “It is a very important match for Mallorca. They faced Real Madrid; those needs of the teams near the relegation zone make everything equal in these final weeks of the season. Nobody wins anyone easy, we will have to give our best version”.
Garitano bets on “continuing to add three by three points at home to get closer to the positions above. When you have a goal like ours, you just have to focus on winning. It is useless to look at the table if you do not add three points. Winning tomorrow is very important to us”.
