Fertiberia seek points against Logroño tomorrow

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto Handball face Balonmano Logroño tomorrow, 11 February, at 20:45 at the Palacio de Deportes de Logroño. It is a difficult match against a team near the top of the table, but Nogués’s side want to pick up a point or two after almost beating another European opponent, Liberbank Cuenca, last Wednesday. For the match, the coach will have his full squad available apart from Alex Tello, who continues to have back discomfort, and Mirallave, who is recovering from an Achilles problem.  

The red-and-white coach, Vicent Nogués, said that “After last week’s match, I am very pleased with the level of commitment and demand within the group. Cuenca arrived with many absences, but we competed at full intensity and almost beat them. Moreover, the fact that people leave angry after losing to a European opponent says a lot about the group’s commitment. If this is happening, it is because we are doing things very well. Our aim is to keep adding points; we have gone three matches unbeaten and must continue picking up points wherever we can.”

“Tomorrow we will play a very difficult match because they are a team near the top and have a stronger squad than ours. However, they played a match at the weekend, which means their level is not the same as that of teams playing in only one competition. We will have to see how they start, and we must give away as little as possible,” Nogués said of the opponents.

“We have to try to play our own game; there is nothing to lose. If we can get something from it, good; otherwise, we will think about Cangas, who are next at home and are in our league, meaning we must pick up points against them at all costs,” the coach concluded
