<strong>Fertiberia face BM Benidorm and Asobal’s Bada Huesca this week</strong>

The friendly matches will take place at home on Thursday 19 January and away on Saturday 21 January

Fertiberia Handball Puerto Sagunto will play two preparation matches against Asobal teams this week. On Thursday 19 January, they will face Balonmano Benidorm at 8.30 pm at the Ovni. The match will pay tribute to the red-and-white academy players who took part in the CESA held on the Costa Blanca over the Christmas period. The match against the Alicante side will not be the only one, as on Saturday they will travel to Huesca to play Bada Huesca on Saturday 21 January at 4.30 pm.

The red-and-white coach, Toni Malla, says about the friendly matches: ‘We are reaching the final stretch of the winter pre-season, and we are doing so with two matches against Asobal teams. We believe it is important to play against teams from a higher division than ours in order to prepare properly for whatever comes our way.’

‘We approach both friendlies with the intention that everything we have corrected during these weeks of pre-season will gradually come through in the matches. We are physically very fatigued, so the players will not be at their best, but we want to use these preparation matches to try things, rotate and gradually bring the content we have worked on onto the court.’ Malla adds regarding the preparation matches.
