Real Mallorca coach Aguirre: We're ready for Rayo

Real Mallorca coach Javier Aguirre is confident facing Rayo Vallecano this weekend.

Mallorca meet Rayo on the back of an impressive draw with Barcelona.

Aguirre said, "They are a team with high pressure, one of the best in the league.

"They are very daring, they don't care about the opponent and, except for that strange night against Atlético de Madrid, their results are very good.

"We are tired. It's very hot, today we had to shorten the training session because the video to analyse Rayo is long as it is a team that does things very well.

"I'm fine. I have to be fine. I'm a naturally positive person. I always try to see the good side of things. I'm fine understanding that the team has a points deficit, because six points in seven matchdays is not good. We are not doing well, but I think we are playing much better."

On seeing over 20,000 fans in the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix against FC Barcelona, Aguirre added: “It is sensational.

"People are happy, they always demand more, but they are happy. My philosophy is maximum respect for the sovereignty of the stadium."
