Mateu Castellá: "Fertiberia's first half of the season is outstanding"

8 Jan (EFE).- Mateu Castellá, Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto player, analysed the team's first half of the season in the Liga Asobal and described the exceptional performance of the Valencian side, which has kept them well clear of relegation, as "outstanding". "We can always be asked to do more, although the team's performance has been outstanding. We have given everything in every match, with the only exception being the match against FC Barcelona, who beat us deservedly," explained the player, who has now recovered from the hand injury that kept him off the court for the last two months. The player from the port side regretted not having played in the last few matches, but "fortunately the team has continued to improve despite my not being able to be there to help". Castellá also believes that the "great atmosphere in the changing room and the fantastic support we have" have been key. "It is a pleasure to play at home like this," he stated. Mateu Castellá does not want to set limits, although he knows that the club's objective is to remain in the division: "We can aim higher, but the first thing we have to think about is safety, although the final stretch of the league will show us the way. The existing competitiveness obliges us to think about survival and secure it as soon as possible." Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto will return to competition on 2 February with the match against Huesca at the Internúcleos "Ovni" Pavilion in the Valencian town.
