Rocamora gives instructions during the break ANTONIO AMOROS

Rocamora stated: “We haven’t been very good at launching, especially with games in late December, But on a collective and emotional level the team is doing very well.”.

AtticGo warned Elche coach Rocasa “will be a very dangerous opponent”. I find many similarities with our team last season, with many young players and many transfersQ. The season started without a goalkeeper Silvia Navarro And without Almudena RodríguezThe recovery process of his injury continues. I believe that he will fight for titles and will be very dangerous both in the championship play-offs and in the Queen’s Cup or the European Cup. This is due to two defeats. In the first round we didn’t find it that way anymore and that created a lot of difficulty for us. “And the truth is that there is a team that is very attractive to me and there are a lot of players in it that are very interesting to me.”

Joaquín Rocamora of this Tuesday’s meeting Not linked to Saturday’s European qualifiers in Madeira: “I don’t know how much it will affect us. Yes I know, frankly, I do thisWe like to play in different situations and with different players. We don’t have one eye on European competition, but we have one eye on it. A very complex screening process that we will barely have time to prepare. And thank God, one day we managed to advance the match against Rocasa because We will be at the airport all day on Friday and will even need to buy plane tickets to go to Madeira.. That’s no excuse, though. “The squad is good, all our players are available and those who haven’t played a lot of minutes will have the opportunity to shine and give the coaching staff more headaches in the future.”


Oriolano coach calls for game ANTONIO AMOROS

When asked about the keys to the game against the Canary Islands, the Oriola coach is clear: “Productivity at launch, Silvia Navarro not visible, always visible. I don’t remember a bad game from him at Elche; toggle game controlThey hurt us in the first round; And Being brave and defending very dangerous players well. Because Rocasa has players capable of disrupting the balance in the front line. From there, try to be ourselves. In the last matches, be efficient in defense and try to run a little more.“What we lack is gaining confidence and not having a lot of minutes in the attacking positions where we lack the most.”
