Dominik Greif or Leo Román? That is the question. Jagoba Arrasate has chosen to maintain some competition in the goal with Greif and Leo Román. This is one of the things the Basque coach had mentioned upon his arrival, who had already implemented a similar tactic with Sergio Herrera and Aitor Fernández when he was coaching C.A. Osasuna.

At Son Moix, and considering what has been shown at the start of this season, the Slovak goalkeeper seems to be the one lined up as a starter in Mallorca's typical eleven, despite having been a substitute on four occasions during the first 14 matchdays of the league. Especially when the matches have been piling up.

Both Greif and Leo Román have solid arguments to be starters. The Slovak, who took advantage of last season's Copa del Rey to regain credibility lost due to injuries and unconvincing performances, has been steady in the role of first goalkeeper. On the other hand, Leo Román, less frequent in the starting lineup but equally reliable, exudes confidence. He demonstrated this in the match against Alavés, where he tested the fans' nerves by frequently resorting to his footwork to start the play from the back.

Who will play?

The debate remains open, and for now, that represents a positive sign for a Mallorca team that is achieving good results and solidifying its position in the middle/high part of the standings.

The question is Who will play on Friday against Valencia at Son Moix? And next Tuesday against Barcelona?

Unless there is a change in Arrasate's plans, the goalkeepers will share these two matches. The mystery lies in who will be chosen for each game. It will be necessary to pay attention to tomorrow's press conference from the coach of the vermilion team to see if he is asked about this issue. It will also be necessary to pay attention to the media outlets in Mallorca, which could provide information on this matter.
