Olaizola: "we will have our options to win"

Mallorca B head coach has spoken to the press. He has done so after the last preparatory sesion ahead of their trip to Valencia. The expedition takes off tonight from Palma airport. In the ground will remain Sergio Cortes who went through an operation this week and Fernando Cano that has yet to recovered from several knocks. 

On the other hand, Valencia Mestalla did not lose any game until last week's visit to Son Malferit Stadium. When asked about this situation, Olaizola finds no easy ride to face them after their first defeat. "Academy teams take every game with lots of motivation, regardless of results and on this occasion both teams are." The Basque expects a "strong Valencia with a great base" but convinced that Mallorca "will have our options to win". 


Following with more questions, Olaizola said he prefers "to play with academy teams as they count with less experience than mature teams, which give older teams an edge".  

After last week's thrashing of Llagostera in front of the home fans, the first victory at Son Bibiloni, the manager has said that "nothing's changed really, I didn't need this releasing result. They are motivated each week because they work hard to be called for the first team. What is true is that in order to keep believing in what you do, you need to win. And last weekend we won deservedly."
