Fertiberia travel to Santander looking for points

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto travel to Santander tomorrow to play their Liga Asobal round 5 match against Liberbank Cantabria. Santander’s La Albericia sports hall will host another final for the red-and-whites at 6 pm; despite the injuries, they hope to take at least one point from the match.

Coach Vicent Nogués says of Cantabria that “they are a rival from our section of the table. Away from home they are a very difficult opponent because they have a very tough defensive team, and we are going there with quite a few doubts because of the injuries. In terms of injuries, it has been a difficult week and training has been hard for us. But I think this is one of those away matches where, if the team performs well, we can get something. We need to get there, compete in the match, be very solid in defence and give our goalkeeper as much protection as possible. From there, we may be able to run on some occasions. If we run, we will have a chance of winning the match. In attack against Nava, I think we played well, and I am confident that the group can perform well. Attacking alone will not be enough because their defence will be very tough; we have to move the ball quickly and create opportunities”.

Regarding the injuries, Nogués concludes: “we have had a very difficult week with the pivots. As of today, we do not know how it will be resolved. Alongside David in goal, who has already started training on the court, they are the doubts for Saturday’s match”
