Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto will play Club Balonmano Burgos on Saturday, 15 February, from 18:30. The match, corresponding to Matchday 20 of the División de Honor Plata, will take place at the Port de Sagunt Municipal Pavilion, and the team approaches it as a key clash in their continued battle for direct promotion to Asobal. Toni Malla invites all supporters to fill the pavilion because ‘it will be an entertaining match, the kind that creates supporters’.
Toni Malla, the red-and-white coach, says that ‘We are very happy after the victory against Agustinos. We are pleased with the players’ work and with the supporters who came to back us. This Saturday’s match must help us understand where we stand. Whether the team is genuinely capable of more, or whether our objective is the promotion phase. We must approach it without pressure, but with great enthusiasm’.
They will face an opponent who, according to Malla, is ‘a tremendous team built to gain promotion, with very good players. Offensively, they have many resources; they are a very well-drilled team with tactical variety. In defence, they are a very solid team, with plenty of height and a very good goalkeeping department featuring keepers from another level. The difficulty will be maximum’.
‘It is a particularly exciting challenge for the players, who are working very well day by day. We will see whether we can beat a squad with considerably greater depth and quality than ours; we counter that with balance and hard work. If we win, we will be closer to looking at other possibilities, and if not, we will remain where we are, fighting for the promotion phase’, adds the red-and-white coach.
‘I hope the pavilion is full on Saturday. I am convinced it will be a fantastic match between two teams that, in the not-too-distant future, will both be competing in Asobal. We know that we have one of the best fan bases in Spain, and this is a good match in which to prove it’, concludes Malla.
