Alcoyano wants to forget the poor pre-season preparation period against SD Logroñés (12 hours) in Las Gaunas, which resulted in the failure of the FA Cup regional final by Vicente Parras’ men against a lower category opponent, Alzira. After the economic problems at the end of last year, there has been a deep renewal of the roster with 13 summer reinforcements, the latest this week: U-23 midfielder Koke Sáiz.
Losses from former Herculanos Sergio Moyita and Pedro Sánchez’s pre-season injury made it difficult for Deportivo to improve their game. None of them traveled to Logrono; Neither is Javi Antón, who transferred to Castellón; nor the canterano Carles Peris, who had surgery after a serious ankle injury. As a result, the season’s top eleven could consist of Miguel Bañuz, Lillo, Primi, Raúl González, Pablo Carbonell, Soler, Fran Miranda, Juanan Agüero and Alcaina, and former herculano Raúl could be at the top.
