Fertiberia renews left-back Guillermo Corzo

BM Puerto Sagunto announces that Cuban left-back Guillermo Corzo will remain for another season. The left-back will once again be a key figure in the red-and-white attack, as he has been over the last three seasons. It is also worth remembering that in the 2015-16 season he was the top scorer in Liga Asobal with 199 goals in the red-and-white shirt. Will he repeat the feat this season?

The Cuban player said of his renewal:  ‘To be honest, given the difficult times that all leagues are going through at the moment because of this pandemic, I sat down and reflected, and came to the conclusion that this is where I need to renew. It is a club that gives you peace of mind and security, and if they want you, the rest is to work.’

Regarding how he maintained his physical preparation during lockdown because of coronavirus, Guillermo says: ‘I experienced the pandemic following all the safety protocols imposed by the government and health authorities, while never neglecting my physical preparation at home. I created a training system myself in a confined space that allowed me to exercise at least five or six days a week and keep myself in good physical shape.’

‘I think the first thing this season is to take it match by match, get as many points as possible and, obviously, secure safety. This season will be tougher: there are 18 teams and more matches. We still do not have the schedule or know how it will be organised, but we will have to fight hard and finish among the top 13, whether it is divided into two groups or a round-robin competition,’ Corzo adds regarding what the new Liga Asobal will be like.

Regarding the squad project being put together for this season, the Cuban left-back says: ‘We have had few departures, and I can see that they have tried to keep the core of the team. That is very important right now because we have been together for three seasons and know each other. As for the new signings, I am sure they will contribute. I think we will have a good project for the season ahead.’

To finish, Corzo sends an encouraging message to the supporters: ‘My message to the supporters is that as soon as they are allowed into the arena, we will be waiting for them there. For my part, I would add that I will be 100% committed and that together we will get through this.’

Corzo’s renewal joins those of Pozzer Mirallave, Dija, Leo, Óscar and Camacho, as well as the signings of Miguel Miralles, Carou, Franzini and Pau between the posts. For now, the departures of Alex Tello, Jaka and Marcos Dorado have also been confirmed, along with the retirement of Don David Bruixola.
