RCD Mallorca's season kicks off today, with a home game against Reus.
Reus are a club that has spent it's entire 117 year old history moving between the 3rd and 5th levels, and this is going to be their first ever game in Segunda. They are considered by many to be the weakest side in the league and are number one candidates for relegation, but they have made a few interesting signings (mostly free agents) which makes me think they'll end up putting up more of a fight than what most people think. It should still be a solid win for my boys, and dropping points today would be awful.
Mallorca's team looks pretty good this season, albeit there are better ones on paper. Expectations are to finish in the playoff zone (3rd-6th) and the goal is to promote from there. We haven't changed manager this time, and we've prepared a team based on what has been built since january (when we signed Vázquez as our manager), so things seem more settled than in previous seasons. I don't want to be too optimistic though, because we've been utter shit in the previous seasons when there was a lot of hype... but I do believe we will at least perform much better this time.
so reus got a team?
gl everyone for the upcoming season
cup game vs regensburg tomorrow - they are 1st after 4 games in the 3rd bundesliga.
it will be a hard match but i hope we will make it to the next round
