Alser return to the league against Toledo BM

After almost two months without league action, Alser BM Puerto Sagunto will play the first match of the second half of the Liga ASOBAL this Saturday from 18:00, away to Toledo BM at the Javier Lozano Cid Pavilion in the imperial city.

For this league trip,for which the red-and-whites will set off this Friday afternoon at 15:30, they will not be alone. The two coaches filled by the Peña Marea Rojiblanca and the many private vehicles guarantee that around 150 supporters from Puerto Sagunto will accompany the team for this important fixture against the current league bottom side.

A bottom side that has nothing to do with the one that finished the first half of the season, as the team managed by Jorge Liébana has undergone a genuine metamorphosis as a result of five new signings, all but one of them from their fellow relegation contenders BM Alcobendas, who have been forced to part with many of their best players because of the severe financial crisis they are suffering.

In other words, this Toledo BM will be anything but easy opposition, least of all at the first stop on their particular Via Crucis of bridging the points gap to safety. Especially as the Toledans have made this match a collective mission to assess their chances of survival.

Against this backdrop, Alser BM Puerto Sagunto want to build on their strong finish to the first half of the season and maintain the style of play that brought them three wins from their last four league matches.

Goran Dockic will be able to call on all his players, with the exception of veteran goalkeeper Pachi Peg, who has not fully recovered from his calf problems. This absence once again gives youth player Samuel Ibáñez the opportunity to be included in the squad alongside David Bruixola in the red-and-white goal.
