TOTangana, Estrada, Portillo, Alonso, Vieites, Altube, Celihueta ... The list of players who register in the Sands It has meant an obvious change in a club that does not want to suffer the burdens of the past, when relegation was suffered as a very real possibility. “We have made several incorporations, people with enthusiasm, lower category, Third, young people. The signings have been done a bit looking at the trajectory they had and what we understand they can contribute ”.
Javier Olaizola explains the spirit that has governed the hiring of reinforcements, among which Celihueta stands out. “He was in the lower categories of Real Sociedad, captain, with an important career, playing in recent years with Portugalete and remaining champions in recent years and this year rising. He is a very, very interesting player ”, the Arenas manager presents him, explaining what he expects from the incorporations. “That they come with enthusiasm, wanting to work, to progress, to learn,” he adds.
I'm really looking forward to it. Taking into account the economic possibilities we have designed a template to our liking between Vadillo, who is the sports director, and myself
With this squad, Olaizola expects the performance to be higher than last season. “I'm really looking forward to it. Taking into account the economic possibilities, we have designed a template to our liking between Vadillo, who is the sports director, and me. These registrations motivate me because they are people who are very hungry for football, because they are not veteran people who are back from everything and sometimes have a hard time training. That's why I'm very motivated ”, he is excited.
What happened last season has been a lesson to learn many things
However, some retouching will need to be done. “We have made the squad making quite balanced – there are 17 new faces and three renewed-. It is possible that in some position we have become a little lame when it comes to hiring footballers. A priori, I think that the right-back or center-back should still be taken into account to reinforce it, but since five Juvenile players are going to come, who have jumped in the category, and another four players are going to come to try at first, we will not we want to rush to sign any more, lest we have the possibility at home “, he explains.
Rectifying
It does so from the assumption of errors. “The coaching staff and the club have already learned, because last season has been a lesson to learn many things, because some things were very difficult and led us to spend a long time on the decline and unable to get out of there. In this case I have already learned and yesí There are certain things that we have rectified from the operation of the club and from the design of the squad. We will try to ensure that nothing that happened last season happens again”, He agrees.
Best in Gobela
One of the explanations for such a difficult season was the state of the Fadura playing field. “It is clear, it was so important, so important that we were the worst team at home and the seventh best away. Something means this. We have corrected errors, we are going to play in Gobela, to train in Gobela. Therefore, there we have a point in our favor compared to the previous season ”, he reviews.

That is why Olaizola hopes that by returning to the fold the panorama will change. In Gobela they can be made more solid. “Sure, but as strong as any team that trains every day and competes on the weekends, and last year it was the other way around. That has been fixed, it has been corrected. And now we are going to train every day where we are going to compete, and that for any team is a plus”, He reflects.
And that set-up is yet to be determined. “We will start the preseason when we know when the competition starts. As there is still no start date, we cannot set or set the start date of the preseason either. We are looking forward to the Spanish Football Federation to notify the day the competition begins and from there we will start walking ”, he clarifies.
About to return
“The last we heard, although it is not official, is that it could start the weekend of October 18. If that were the case, we would start the preseason on the 26 or 27 ”, calculates the Arenas coach, who will foreseeably apply a recipe adjusted to the circumstances. “SI always do about six weeks, and this year maybe one more, because the players have been doing nothing for a long time at the collective level and we would start slowly and give the team time to build up little by little.”, He estimates.
