Fertiberia schedule two friendlies for the winter pre-season

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto began its winter pre-season last Monday in preparation for a strong start to the second half of the season on 5 February at home against Liberbank Ciudad Encantada. The players are completing double training sessions with a heavy physical workload, and two friendlies have been scheduled. The first will take place on 17 January in Belmonte against Cuenca, while the second will be on Thursday, 23 January, at 20:15 at the Ovni against Granollers. Two fixtures against high-ranking opponents to arrive in February aiming to secure survival.

The red-and-white coach, Vicent Nogués, is satisfied with his team’s first week of work and says “We are back, and we have to try to get all the players back to their best. I think we finished the first half of the season very well, and the break came at a bad time given how the team was performing, although it did give us a chance to recover injured players. We are working with a heavy physical workload and many sessions so that everyone can soon return to 100%, while trying to ensure that players such as Marcos, Nacho, Dija and Guillermo, who have been struggling, can recover and that we can start the second half with our full squad.”

“I hope the friendlies will help us return to the positive momentum we had at the end of the first half, compete well and, above all, ensure that nobody gets injured. We want everyone available for the home match against Cuenca on 5 February,” Vicent concludes.
