Fertiberia seek another home victory against Agustinos

Toni Malla's side will play on Saturday, 5 October, from 18:30 at the Poliesportiu Municipal Port de Sagunt

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto face Fundación Balonmano Agustinos with the aim of securing another victory. The match, corresponding to Matchday 4, will take place at the Poliesportiu Municipal Port de Sagunt next Saturday, 5 October, from 18:30. The match can be followed via streaming on the club's YouTube channel.

The red-and-white team have begun the league with a perfect record of victories against three teams seeking to finish near the top: Novás, Caserío and Barça Atlètic, and approach this match as a ‘new opportunity to keep adding points’, says Toni Malla, the red-and-white team's coach, who also explains that ‘for now, we can only be pleased with the players' work because, despite suffering in the Barça match, a game in which the opponents played very well, we return eager to compete again’.

Regarding the opponent Malla will face, he assures us that they are ‘the toughest opponent we could face because they are doing very well and are one of the teams we find most difficult to play against. They have very dangerous attacking players who are highly intense and make penetrating runs, playing a very direct game, and at this point, when we are not yet tactically complete, they could make the match dangerous’.

‘It is very important to keep adding points even though we have not yet reached that tactical completeness, because with every match we play, we will be closer to our objective’, the coach adds.

‘I encourage the fans to come and support us because their presence is crucial; the other day at Barça's ground, it was crucial that they raised the pressure’, concludes Toni Malla.
