Marti hails Manzano impact

Mallorca midfielder Jose Luis Marti believes that they have been a different team since the arrival of Gregorio Manzano.

The Islanders hired the 57-year-old in February following Joaquin Caparros' dismissal, and the veteran midfielder has claimed that they have what it takes to avoid relegation – starting on Saturday against Real Madrid.

“At last we are reaping the rewards of all the hard work we've put in,” he told Marca.

“We've been a lot better recently, and we have to continue this good run.

“We know that playing Real Madrid is not easy, but why can't we get anything?”
