Fertiberia contest the Copa Comunitat Valenciana against Benidorm

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto will play the Copa Comunitat Valenciana against Balonmano Benidorm at the Ovni on Saturday 31 August (7pm). The red-and-whites hope to win their first official competitive match and arrive in Cuenca on 7 September with the best possible feelings on their return to Asobal. Head coach Vicent Nogués will have all his players available, except David Bruixola, as the Valencian goalkeeper was injured in the match against Benidorm last weekend.

Head coach Vicent Nogués says that “it is the last match of the season and the first official competition. The Copa Comunitat Valenciana is at stake and my expectation is that the team will continue to grow and iron out mistakes, so that next week in Cuenca, in the first league match, we are at 100%. The boys have given good indications this week; I am very happy with all the players. They have worked hard and all I am looking for is for them to continue improving in attack, while our defence becomes our hallmark, and to improve on last season’s figures. We must continue along that line.”

“Benidorm will be determined to change the impression they gave the other day; it was not as good as they had hoped. I think we have to maintain the figures from that match, getting as close as possible to them in attack, and defensively reduce the number of goals they scored against us, especially the goals scored on the counter-attack,” Nogués concludes regarding the Alicante side.
