Fertiberia aim to make amends with an away win

Fertiberia travel to Zarautz intending to start winning away matches and further tighten the competition at the top of the table. The red-and-whites will face Amenabar Zarautz on Saturday 2 February from 19:30 at Aritzabatalde Udal Kiroldegia.

Red-and-white coach Vicent Nogués highlighted that “This week we need to lift the players’ spirits; on Saturday we suffered a fairly major blow. We also need to show Zarautz a great deal of respect because they have only lost at home to Barça B and have achieved very good results. It is a bit of a trap match because they are near the bottom, but at home they are very effective. We have to try to take both points to remain in the upper part of the table.”

“People are still a little downcast. It was an important challenge to win here against Nava, and the team had it in their hands. I hope that as the week progresses we can lift everyone’s spirits so that we are at full strength for Zarautz,” the coach said regarding the squad’s morale.

After the tough home defeat to the leaders, the coach wants to send an optimistic message so that faith in the team is not lost and they can still achieve their objective together:  “The league is long, and now we have a cycle of away matches against the teams near the bottom and home matches against the teams near the top. They will all be worth almost four points, because the home points are points the opponent will not collect while we will. If we add positive away results to that, we will move back towards the top, and we must not lose hope at any point. I believe we still have many chances of achieving this season’s objective.”
