Alcoyano will face Recreativo in Granada

Against UD Logroñés in February and Athetic B in Lezama last May.

Alcoyano will face the only loss this trip of central defender Julen Monreal, who has a groin problem that will keep him in dry dock for a month, so it is very likely that Vicente Parras will present the same Murcia eleven.

Perales will be in goal; Campabadal, Primi, Álvaro Vega and Sergio Nieto will play in defense; Armental, Imanol, Albisua and Agüergo will be in the middle of the field, while Ganet will act as a hook and Pradera will be at the top.

“I expect a close and tough match. We will have an opponent who does things right. Losing against Málaga and Córdoba is normal, they beat Intercity, got a very important point in Linares and against Algeciras the game was complicated for them and they had a “They managed to score points,” he said. : “We would be wrong if we thought that we would get three points easily because we are facing a reserve team.” Alcoyano could win only 2 of the 14 away matches in 2023.

Alcoyano’s coach, Vicente Parras, does not want confidence ahead of Sunday, when his team will face Recreativo de Granada, its opponent making its debut in the First Federation, and this Friday he emphasized the potential of the opponent currently available.

The coach admits that Sunday’s draw with Murcia is a starting point, but we must not forget that these are matches where we have a lot at stake at the moment. It is very important to know the value of these three points and this will be a great contribution. It is a mistake on our part to think that we will be facing a subsidiary and that it will be easy to beat them, when in fact they are ahead of us for a reason.

The Alcoyano team will arrive in Granada first thing tomorrow morning at lunch time and will train at Granada Sports City in the afternoon.

“I expect a close and difficult match. We will have an opponent who does things right. It is normal that they lost against Malaga and Córdoba, they beat Intercity, got a very important point in Linares and also played against Algeciras. Parras said “It was a complicated game for them and they managed to get a point,” he said.

“This is not a subsidiary with big names or big names,” Parras continued his analysis of the opposition, “but they are doing good things to add points. For us these will be three very important points. This is not uncommon.” “They know about their weapons and don’t mind if they have to play a little closer,” said the cheerful football affiliate. “I expect an even match, as most do, but when they face one of the transatlantic ships they face another ship.” story.”

Vicente Parras admitted that the Enrique Roca-Nueva Condomina visit helped the team become stronger for the first time this season and left a clean sheet, but he is aware that Alcoyano needs to show more in attack with five unmarked days.

“Being solid was the first step, but aspects such as lack of self-confidence and lack of courage due to the situation we are in condition us a lot. Not conceding goals is not enough for us, we have to score goals.” “We still have a lot to improve,” the Alcoyano coach admitted in conclusion.
