Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto face Ángel Ximénez Puente Genil at the Ovni on Wednesday, 15 December, at 8.15 pm. The match, corresponding to the second round of the Copa del Rey, is one that Toni Malla’s side approach with enthusiasm, as they welcome an ASOBAL team to the Ovni that have reached the final stages of this competition in several successive seasons.

Red and white coach Toni Malla says: ‘We are hurt by yesterday’s result, but we have to get back up because we were not brilliant against Barça, nor are we that bad now. We have to keep working and correct all these things that happen to us because of our mentality. On Wednesday we have an opportunity to grow. We will face an immensely strong, good opponent, but it is clear that our objective is to play a good match. We want to come away with positive feelings so that next Saturday against Málaga we can secure those hugely important two points, especially as they are worth double. We have to lift the team, keep working as we have done until now and improve our mentality, because that is what we are lacking. We are a good team, and we have shown it in very difficult moments, such as at Barça’s ground, against Córdoba and against Sant Quirze at their home, where very few opponents have won. This team has done some very good things, but also some very bad ones. We have to get back up, and this Wednesday is a good day to leave the match with positive feelings, knowing that we have fought and that all the work we do during the week is reflected in our effort and attitude in the match.’

Regarding the opponent, Malla says: ‘We will face a team with some outstanding international players who will want to come here and win, because they have reached the final stages of the Copa del Rey for many years. All that matters to us is to play a good match, enjoy it and, above all, leave the court smiling and satisfied with the work we have done.’
