RCD Mallorca has started its pre-season with a 3-0 victory against Saudi Al Fateh in the Marbella stage, with good minutes from the signings and the gradual integration of the new reinforcements.
RCD Mallorca has kicked off its pre-season on a positive note. The team, managed by Luis García, defeated Saudi Al Fateh 3-0 this Saturday in the first friendly of the stage taking place in Marbella. Despite the heat and heavy legs, the Asturian coach continued to give instructions from the sidelines, demonstrating clarity in his game plan.
The Bermellones dominated the match from start to finish against a rival that showed technical inferiority. The three goals came at different stages of the match, although the source does not specify the scorers. The standout performance was from the new signings, who are beginning to integrate into the group.
Forward Adri Fuentes was eager at the forefront of attack, although he had few opportunities to shine. Luvumbo, who is already familiar with the club, was the best player on the pitch, showing flair and danger. In the second half, Antoniu Roca repeatedly broke down the left flank, while Soumahoro, alongside Valjent and later David López, provided good sensations in the heart of the defence.
Arnau Tenas, who arrived at the training camp this Saturday, watched the match from the stands, as did Alex Sala, who has just joined. Arnau Puigmal was unable to dress due to issues with a calf muscle. Luvumbo, after being substituted at half-time, confirmed that he had no injury despite an initial scare with the hamstring in his right leg.
The team now faces four days of training with some double sessions scheduled. Next Thursday, they will face Al-Ittihad U21, another Saudi team, in the second friendly of the stage. The level will increase in the Trofeu Ciutat de Palma, when all seven signings will be at full capacity.
For Mallorca, the goal for the season is promotion. The Bermellones, who play in the Second Division after their relegation, are looking to return to the elite. The stage in Marbella serves to build rhythm and fine-tune the machinery ahead of a long season.
Fans of Mallorca can rest easy: the first impressions are positive. The team seems to have absorbed Luis García's ideas well, and the signings are integrating naturally. There is much work ahead, but the start invites optimism.
