Fertiberia BM Puerto aim to win in Nava

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto face Balonmano Viveros Herol Nava tomorrow, Saturday 14 October, from 6 pm. The match, corresponding to Matchday 6 of the Liga Profesional Plenitude ASOBAL, will be a direct clash between recently promoted rivals in the top tier of Spanish handball. Malla’s team travel intending to ‘take some points from the match’ and be able to ‘get into the rhythm of the fight for survival’. 

The red-and-white coach, Toni Malla, says they arrive for the match ‘sad because of the recent results, but eager to make amends’ and demonstrate the good work they carry out day after day: ’After a week involving many kilometres and results that were not what we expected, the team are sad not to have been able to add points, especially on Sunday, but happy with the work we have done. We are close to taking points and achieving good results, and the truth is that this weekend could be one of the days when I think we can get something. Another journey, and a very complicated away trip’.

Nava have made a somewhat better start to the season than the red-and-whites and come into the home match in 11th place in the table with 4 points, 2 more than the red-and-whites, who so far have only managed to beat BM Logroño at home: ’‘We will face a rival from our league, who have strengthened their squad to avoid suffering in ASOBAL, and it will be very difficult. Nava are a very solid defensive team with an excellent goalkeeper. They are also very dangerous in attack, have a great deal of firepower, and we must try to limit their attacking success by once again defending very well. Against Benidorm, it is true that we lacked a little aggression, which we have to recover gradually so that the goalkeeping also works’.

‘It will be an enjoyable match and our objective is to try to stay close to taking points; the sooner we add them, the better, because we have to get into the rhythm of our objective: survival’, Malla concludes regarding the match in Nava de la Asunción.
