A relegation decider between Fertiberia and Dicsa Modular Cisne

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto Handball face Balonmano Dicsa Modular Cisne on Saturday 27 February at 6.30 pm at the Ovni. It is a relegation decider between the teams occupying the second- and third-bottom positions in the Sacyr ASOBAL League table. The match can be followed on PSG Media radio via the club’s official YouTube channel.

Red-and-white coach Vicent Nogués says this clash is key to ending their poor run and beginning to climb the table: ‘We are preparing for the match as a way out of the situation we are in. We now have two matches against the teams near the bottom; we have to win these matches by any means necessary to try to climb the table and break out of the run we are on. The team has worked very well. We have been training hard for a week, convinced that we can get out of this together. Everything depends on securing the victory.’

Regarding the opponents, Vicent Nogués says ‘Cisne are a combative team with a very dynamic, very fast style and a high tempo on the counter-attack. We already knew them in the second tier, when we lost the match, and this year it was very difficult for us to beat them, despite the team being very serious in defence. They gradually got into the match and took us right to the end; fortunately, we were patient enough to get the win. If we are not focused, we are going to suffer a lot, but if we defend well, we can win the match. We have to think about victory, be disciplined in attack, use our strengths and, above all, get back well in defence to make it as difficult as possible for them to score. That is what we are working on.’
