Supporters return to the Ovni for a decisive clash with Guadalajara

Fertiberia face Quabit Guadalajara tomorrow, Saturday 12 December, at 18:30 at the Ovni. The match, corresponding to Matchday 17 of the Sacyr ASOBAL League, is a do-or-die relegation battle for the red-and-whites, who have suffered six consecutive defeats over the past three weeks. The accumulation of matches has left many players in Vicent Nogués’ squad carrying knocks and doubtful for Saturday’s match. But the good news is that, after several months, supporters are returning to the Ovni. 150 people will be able to attend a match in which the red-and-whites want to make amends and ‘turn things around’. Supporters and team must all pull together.

Red-and-white coach Vicent Nogués has assessed the team’s difficult situation and says that ‘Wednesday’s match was a very hard blow for the team. It was one we absolutely had to win, and the team did not perform at the desired level. We made many unforced errors, lacked continuity in attack, played too individually, had no solutions and became stuck, which meant we ultimately lost the match. It took us a long time to get into the match; we had many minutes in which to try to come back, and we did so, but then we returned to the same pattern.’

‘This match has given us food for thought. We talked a lot afterwards and believe there must be a before and an after the Sinfín match. I am convinced that this Saturday the team will give 100% and we will be fully focused. It is true that the team has reached a point in the competition at which many players are physically carrying knocks, due to the effort of playing Wednesday–Saturday for three consecutive weeks. I am convinced that those who can take part will play with intensity, and the reunion with our supporters, whom we have missed greatly, will be a unifying force that helps us turn things around, move out of the relegation places by winning this match and start climbing the table.’concludes Vicent Nogués.
