Mafio talks about conflicts with fans: I think we need to repair our relationship with some fans and take the first step

Mafio publicly apologized and decided to stay in Mallorca and start over.

Mallorca defender Pablo Mafio was once thought to leave the team this summer after having an unpleasant relationship with fans last year. However, the 28-year-old centre-back finally decided to stay and explained his behavior to fans through a video released by the club.

Mafio said: "It was a mistake for me to shut them up on the court, and I admit it. Those boos were not aimed at me personally, but were dissatisfied with the entire team. We were in a difficult time and a lot of things came together. I did something wrong, and if someone felt offended, I apologized to them. Indeed, those boos hurt me, I didn't like that feeling, and I didn't respond properly. This was magnified later, and it shouldn't be like this." He added: "At the end of the day, things won't go any further unless I'm willing to make a change. If I don't take the initiative, then things won't improve, and it might be a disaster. But it's not. Now I'm going to work harder, to myself I have a deep reflection and find out what I have done wrong. "

"I feel I need to repair my relationship with some fans, and I should take the first step. I will do this, at least when I leave here or end my career, I can tell myself that I have tried my best. "

"Now is the time to face the problem bravely. I have always said that I am doing well in this city, but I just feel that my chapter is over. Since this is not the case, I will of course give it my all. I am passionate about this club, and even in the case of injuries, whether it is three vertebrae fractures, knee injuries or foot injuries, I will stick to the game. I will continue to do this in the future because the interests of the club are my interests. So, there is no problem at the competitive level."
