Miguel Ángel Garrido Cifuentes, known footballingly as Cifu, was optimistic about the game that his team, UD Ibiza, will play this Sunday against Cartagena, in which they will try to recover after the defeat in Eibar (3-1), the first of the course for the islanders. However, they expect a rival who is “a bit touched” and who “may not yet be up to the expectations they were looking for or would like”, which makes it dangerous. “We hope a Cartagena that comes out for the game and makes it difficult for us”, added the player from Zújar, one of the celestial signings for the season landing in Segunda. “We must add three points again because we cannot deviate from the path,” said the footballer, who wants the third victory of the course for his team.
The defender assured that, despite the stumble in Eibar, they should not change their “essence” or the “philosophy or way of playing.” “Cartagena is a team that has players of hierarchy and level. If the people at the top are plugged in, and you concede, they are players who make a difference. But they can be hurt. It is being seen that when they do not have the day, and they are not allowed, they concede and are suffering ”, declared the footballer of the Pitiuso block.
“We are going to try to counteract their offensive game, because they have powerful players, although we also have our weapons. We have offensive power, as we have shown in the days that we have been. We must try to close behind and take advantage of those that we have above. We have to improve completion. We have many chances, but we have to try to improve the definition, “he added.
Although Cifu also warned that they must improve on the defensive plot so as not to concede so many goals, despite the fact that he believes they are a team that “does not concede much.” “In the category there are players who do it for you once they have a chance,” added the Granada-born player, seeking justification for the number of goals received by the Pitiuso team.
The Ibiza footballer assured that he was “well” at his new club, in which he is playing a leading role within a squad that he considered is playing a great role in LaLiga SmartBank. “A lot is demanded of us in training. I think we did a good block. I am quite comfortable. I think we have a competitive team and maybe we are surprising more than one who did not expect such a solid Ibiza ”, Cifu sentenced, making it clear that the primary objective “must be permanence”, but dreaming is free from there.
