Martin Valjent, Jaume Costa and Jose Copete reflected upon our 1-0 win against Cádiz. Pablo Maffeo scored the only goal of the game in the first half to ensure we took another step towards safety. Find out what the trio had to say below:
Martin Valjent
"We believe we are in La Liga for another season. There are four games left where we have to compete, but today was a fantastic day. A well-deserved and hard-fought victory. The emotion and the union we experienced at the end is fantastic.
"We suffered and now we can enjoy it more. We are used to suffering after these years. This year it is a luxury to be at this point with the points we have and almost have mathematical safety in the bag. We have to compete at our best in the four remaining matches. We have to try to enjoy ourselves on the pitch and compete.
Jaume Costa
"Very happy for the victory, for the work, for the competitive attitude that this team always transmits - whoever plays. Today's victory gives us some breathing space. It may not be mathematically secured, but it may be the end of the objective we had set at the beginning of the season: to stay in the First Division.
"I think it was Mallorca's game. Defending, tough, competitive, getting deep at the back. In the end I think we were superior because we had more clear chances.”
Jose Copete
"I got emotional at the end. It's a match in which we suffered a lot. We came from two games with goals in the last minutes and well, we had it in our heads. We have been suffering until the end for those three points that practically secure our safety.
"The team has done an incredible job. From Muriqi to Rajkovic, we ran a lot. These three points are like staying in the league.”
