Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto begin the fourth instalment of the Asobal dream

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto held their first training session of the 2013-2014 pre-season this afternoon. Alongside the first-team and red-and-white academy players, club president Juanjo Bataller, sports councillor Sergio Muniesa and several club directors also attended to open the presentation.

President Juanjo Bataller was the first to address the squad, reminding them that "it is up to us to move this forward, defend the pavilion and maintain our status; I believe we are capable of achieving it".

For his part, sports councillor Sergio Muniesa welcomed the players and said that "what we saw as difficult challenges last year, we have seen achieved, and with effort, dedication and commitment, things work out".

The first training session of pre-season began with the initial group photograph, featuring both the new signings and the youngest academy players, with the expected absences of Nacho Plaza, who is competing at the Youth World Championship in Hungary, Alex Tello and Gabi Sánchez. Regarding the new signings, Juanjo Bataller added that "we are going to try to sign at least one centre-back if the finances allow us to".

Ultimately, coach Patxi Martí, together with his assistant Pere Saez, led his first training session since arriving at the red-and-white club, with the intention of holding several training sessions and activities during August. These include the traditional participation in the Volta a peu al Puerto Sagunto, organised by CD Camp de Morvedre, to arrive in optimal condition for the first friendly, which will see Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto face BM Ciudad Encantada on the 16th at the internúcleos pavilion from 20:15.
