Sunday’s game at El Sadar against Osasuna will mark the future of a good part of Real Mallorca’s footballersamong them the left back Jaume Costa, hardened in a thousand battles and who faces a new adventure in the fight for permanence with the Majorcan team.
In principle, for the appointment, two fundamental aspects are equalized, the soccer itself, and also that of the state of mind, and in the latter Valencia stops when he points out that “two weeks ago we were in a drastic situation, we had lost against Granada and we were more than one game away from Cádiz, and there was permanent tension and with many peoplelike me, unable to sleep at night thinking that there were games left but in a rather complicated situation, and after two weeks we have seen that this, with work and effort and belief, everything changes“.
Costa assures that in the team they are “with the illusion of being able to achieve the objective that was so difficult recently, and now we are with the illusion of giving happiness to our familiesand to all the people who have supported us and who have believed in us all this time, with many ups and downs, we know, but always with work, with sacrifice and with an internal group that, apart from everything that has been said, it has been very good and we are looking forward to going on vacation happy and proud of the work done”.
Before Rayo Vallecano, Mallorca had to be aware of their match but also of the match played by Cádiz. with the resultstwo, mallorquinista victory and cadista draw, the vermilion once again depend on themselves, two very different sensations just a week ago. In this sense, Jaume Costa assures that they are situations “different but at the same time similar, when we lost to Granada we knew that we had to try to get as many points as possible in the last games to be able to try to match ourselves a little in the classification to Cádiz and Grenade, then we were more than one game away and we did not depend on ourselves and it was a drastic situation which has changed now because you depend on yourself and if we win, we won’t have to look anywhere else”.
About the game against Osasuna, Costa believes that “it will be complicated because experience tells us that Osasuna is a seasoned teamwhich is very intense, that at home above all he will want to say goodbye to the season well with his fans and that they have also had a great season”. In turn, the Mallorcan player points out that “I have ex-teammates and people I know there and I know they are going to go to all of them and we have to have the mentality that it will be the last battle, very hard and very difficult”.
However, in the vermilion dressing room everything seems to be very clear when Costa states that “we know what is there and we are on these nerves of wanting to do things well, although I think that those controlled nerves are good“.
Costa’s conclusion is very clear: “It is in our hands to achieve the three points and save ourselvesreaching the last day depending on us is very good, and we only have one more step left”.
Thinking collectively, Costa has a special message for a teammate: there are many teammates who haven’t experienced the First Division for long and who deserve it, especially a special one who is Galarreta, who was unlucky enough to get injured and he is one of those who most deserves it because of how he is, because of how he works, how he works hard and I personally want to leave it in the First Division next year”.
Finally, Costa also made reference to the displacement of fans who will travel to Pamplona to be with the team in the stands of El Sadar. About them, the Valencian says that “after that game against Granada and seeing how they received us in the next game at home, they deserve everything, after suffering so much, I can’t ask for more, as if no one comes because they don’t want to suffer anymore, we are the ones who have to get the three pointsI hope that the three planes that have been set up can be filled and if more arrive with people from the peninsula than not have to travel and we were the maximum possible, well better, but having one or having a thousandwe are the ones who have to achieve the objective”.
