Montanier sympathises with Caparros

Philippe Montanier has reflected that he can understand Joaquin Caparros’ frustration at Javi Marquez’ red card.

Marquez was shown a second yellow midway through the first half of Sunday evening’s Week 22 clash at Anoeta for a handling offence, even as replays suggested the ball hit his knee and chest only.

“I can understand Caparros’ reaction and I believe that it was harsh on Mallorca. But last season we also played games with an unfair disadvantage,” reflected Montanier after his team’s subsequent 3-0 win.

“For the game I am satisfied. With the importance of this victory we can take a step forward, for winning four points from a possible six in the last two games points and for the good dynamic we are in.

“We did not play the best game of the season, but we were patient and tough in defence.”
