Fertiberia continue preparing for the new DHP season with two more friendlies

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto have an intense weekend ahead. The red-and-whites will travel to Huesca tomorrow to face the Asobal team from 20:30, and on Sunday they will likewise travel to Ascó (Tarragona) to play their second friendly of the season against a team from their division, Sant Martí (12:30). The red-and-white coach highlighted that two very different realities had been experienced in last weekend’s matches: “in Algemesí, the red-and-whites were not at 100% because of the absences and the heat in the pavilion, but on Sunday we stood up to an Asobal team. I think we had a great first half and, overall, a good match until our energy ran out” Regarding this weekend’s fixtures, Nogués explains: “On Friday we are travelling to Huesca to face an Asobal team. It will not be easy, but I know the boys are motivated by playing teams from the top division. I think that, as happened in Elche against Benidorm, we will put up a fight and compete to the maximum.” Regarding Sunday’s match in Ascó, halfway between Sant Martí and Puerto de Sagunto, the red-and-white coach states that “it will be a key match which, for me, will be very important in seeing which direction we can take this season. They are a team from our division who will give us many clues about what we can become in the División de Honor Plata.” For the match, Vicent will be without Alegre, who is awaiting the results of an MRI scan, and Pablo del Rincón. They will be joined by doubts over Nacho Mirallave, who has knee problems after the match against Agustinos, and Corzo, who is awaiting an X-ray after hurting himself in Sunday’s match against Benidrom. The first team visits the Fertiberia plant The full División de Honor Plata squad visited Fertiberia’s plant in the city yesterday, together with the club president, Juanjo Bataller; the mayor of Sagunto, Quico Fernández; and the councillor responsible for sport, Miguel Chover. The plant director, Juan Arbona, hosted them, showing them around the plant and explaining the work carried out there every day. It was a special team-building day during which the players saw first-hand the work of the club’s main sponsor, which, together with the support of Sagunto Town Council, has enabled the creation of a competitive squad capable of returning Puerto Sagunto to the top tier of Spanish handball.
