Fertiberia welcome Barça B at the Ovni

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto will face Barça B next Saturday, 9 February, from 18:30. At the Ovni, the red-and-whites will face a high-flying opponent whom they must beat to continue fighting for the aim of returning to Asobal this season.

The red-and-white coach, Vicent Nogués, highlighted that “We are trying to get the injured players back. Last week was a difficult match because of the absences, and we do not know to what extent we can recover them for this match, but despite that, we got the result.”

Regarding the opponent, the manager stated that “In the first half of the season, Barça made life very difficult for us and we lost despite scoring 39 goals away from home. We did many things well, but lost the match. Here at home, we need to control our defensive transitions and the individual quality of most of their players, who are technically very good.”

“Last weekend we had doubts because we were visiting a team near the bottom of the table but one that gets good results at home. With our absences, it was a difficult match. The team responded, we defended well, and Leo, who has recovered from his injury, made an appearance and contributed a great deal with his long-range shooting. It was a good morale boost for everyone,” Nogués concluded.
