Fertiberia want to beat Villa de Aranda to move closer to securing promotion to Asobal

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto face 6 May from6.30 pm, Balonmano Villa de Aranda at the Ovni. The match is another final that could mathematically qualify the red-and-whites for promotion to Asobal. To achieve this, Malla’s side must beat the Aranda team and, on the other hand, Novás must lose or draw away to Trops Málaga. Regarding this, Malla says: ‘We all know how important this matchday is. It may be that we are close to our objective next Saturday, but obviously the message I give the players, and which I hope the entire club community understands, is that the focus is on the match.’

Regarding the opponents they will face, Malla says: ‘They are a great team that play handball very well, but they have not achieved the expected results in this second phase, having taken just one point from a possible eight. Despite this, they are a dangerous side and it will be a difficult match against great players, a squad that rotates more and more and has more resources at its disposal. We are in for a complicated contest. Nobody should expect it to be an easy match’

‘We are aware of the difficulty. We have won all the matches we have played in this phase by very few goals and have suffered in every one of them. Our focus is the match; it is important to maintain our playing form and continue doing what has been working well for us in recent games, continuing to defend and staying organised in attack. We will try to take these two points, which would bring us closer to our objective. I do not know whether they will be decisive, but the focus is the match and nothing but the match’, the red-and-white coach adds.

‘I encourage the supporters to come; the Nava match was incredible, I hope we fill the Ovni again. It will be a great weekend full of handball with the youth section, and we hope the Ovni rises to the occasion and once again becomes the decisive factor’, concludes Malla regarding the importance of the supporters’ backing for this match.
