Fertiberia aim to end their poor run by beating Nava

Fertiberia face Viveros Herol Nava next Sunday, 6 December, at 12:00. The match will be broadcast by La Liga Sport TV and corresponds to Matchday 16 of the Sacyr ASOBAL League. The red-and-whites travel to Nava aiming to end the run of four consecutive defeats suffered over the past two weeks.

Red-and-white coach Vicent Nogués has briefly assessed how his players are approaching the key match against Nava: ‘The Ademar match was a shame. I am convinced that, with the Ovni packed to capacity, the last four points we have contested for (León and Logroño) would have stayed at home. The team has very good feelings and we are defending very well. Roney is performing at a very high level in goal, and I think the team has played well in attack in these last two matches. I think we have lacked the ability to compete in the final stages of matches. Against Logroño we fell away in the 50th minute, and yesterday against Ademar we fell away in the 55th. We need to refine details that can help us win these points and compete during the important minutes.’

‘I am happy with the work the group has done in these two matches. I think we arrive at our league fixtures with good feelings, and now we have to think about Nava. It is a difficult team; we have not managed to win there, and it is a very challenging court. This year they have very good players, good outside shooting and a strong two-on-two game with the pivot. They have a very good goalkeeper, and although they are going through a poor spell, having lost four points at home that they should have taken, they will be hoping to win to move out of the bottom area. Therefore, they will not make things easy for us,’ the red-and-white coach adds regarding Sunday’s opponents.

‘So far, we have played without pressure against teams where we had nothing to lose, but now our league matches are upon us and the team will be under more pressure. Even if the team is not playing well, we have to win these matches and compete in them. I am convinced that we will be there; if we manage to win these matches, we will see the results of a team that is working very well. As of today, I am very happy with the group,’ concludes Vicent Nogués.
