“The games where the rival waits behind are costing us”

The style is non-negotiable. It is the phrase that is repeated the most within the Mirandés. The rojillos have planted a battle with clubs called to fight for promotion to First, even winning the battle for possession. But nevertheless, others who have the same goal of permanence have choked in the last days. “We have a game plan. Depending on the game it can vary, but we want to progress from behind with the ball. The matches where the rival awaits us behind are costing us, ”says Víctor Gómez.

The Catalan defender expect a crash very similar to that of Lugo in the visit of the rojillo team to Fuenlabrada: “In their stadium they are strong. They have been showing it since last season. We faced the clash with ambition, but based on our game. These games seem to be more complicated for us, but we have to try to find their shortcomings on the pitch ”.

Full work week

At least José Alberto's pupils have prepared the game for a full week. Something that has not happened in the last two due to the accumulation of commitments. “Preparing a game for a whole week is beneficial for any team. You can analyze the rival and the previous match. Now there have been a lot of encounters. In the end, more than muscle load, you notice a general fatigue. But I see the team well in the physical aspect ”, he points out.

Four teams have stood out at the top of the table: Mallorca, Espanyol, Almería and Leganés. Even so, the Catalan side believes that it is too early to analyze the table: “You just have to watch the next game. The League is very even. It is very long, that is the advantage for all. There is room for improvement. Each one fights for his goal. Ours is permanence. We must fight to get the three points ”.
