Arrasate thrilled with Mallorca's victory over Valladolid: Larin's goal proves crucial

Arrasate expressed his appreciation for the recent victories, emphasizing the difficulty of achieving them. He acknowledged that the team struggled in the first half, but credited their halftime adjustments for their improved performance. He highlighted the importance of changing their approach, showing more assertiveness, and being less predictable on the field.

"We had to be more vertical and deeper. A good pass, good control, a good goal makes things easier. After 0-1 it gave us more substance and less to them. Since then we've seen our best minutes."

On the importance of Larin's goal, he continued: "If you look back, he had a goal disallowed by just a few centimetres against Real Sociedad, he gave an assist against Betis and today he scored. We hope it will be the first of many this season."

On being fourth in the standings, he Arrasate added: "It doesn't matter to me. What matters to me is the fourteen points. They will take away fourth place from us but not the fourteen points. There are only eight games, but we have fourteen.

"They are not certainties but we are showing signs of good momentum. Today, without playing a good game, we are capable of winning and I value that a lot because the mental aspect is very important."
