Alcoyano midfielder Imanol Garceda has sent an upbeat message to blue-and-white supporters after Vicente Parras team opened 2024 with real momentum. Deportivo is piling up four wins in five matches, and the run includes its best scoring streak of the season with nine points in a row.
Following a difficult spell, the Navarrese player urged fans to stay grounded even as the team pushes hard to maintain momentum. He noted that the squad can keep their sights high only by matching the pace set in recent days: Are you dreaming? Everything is going well. A strong second half of the season could see them keep finding the net as they have so far. If they keep this form, they can challenge teams above them and possibly claim more wins.
However, the former Osasuna player emphasized caution and humility, insisting they should not lose composure despite mounting expectations for big milestones this season. He reminded the squad not to forget their current position, reflecting on where they stood only a few months earlier. We have to stay humble, he said, noting that he was the one who scored the opener against Abel Gf3mezs team.
Alcoyano remains undefeated at home in El Collao since December 9, securing wins over Mérida (1-0), Antequera (2-1) and Recreativo de Huelva (2-0). The coach has shown that the late-season setback in Ibiza did not derail the project, as the team adapted their approach in the second half after the Christmas break.
Work awaiting outside El Collao
That recent victory gave them momentum and the belief to take on challenges away from their home ground. The emphasis is on extending their away form and continuing to score on the road. The captain of Deportivo noted this during a visit to the Nuevo Mirador de Algeciras ahead of the next fixture. The Navarrese midfielder, now in his third season with Alcoyano, believes the squad must stay organized and maintain consistency outside their stadium as part of a broader plan to improve away performances.
There is a real sense that the blue and white club can push further, but the emphasis remains on steadiness and smart development across all venues. The club is focused on strengthening the squad dynamics and staying adaptable against different styles as the campaign progresses.
Vicente Parras also raised concerns about training conditions, noting that recent performances have shown potential but are sometimes hampered by limited resources and infrastructure. He pointed out that in their Ibiza game the team started strong but faced tougher opposition after halftime and that securing control in away matches will require consistent pressure and a sharper sense of security. The squad understands that the next match on Andalusian soil will be demanding because the opponent will press high and seek to seize control early, but the aim remains clear: to secure all three points and keep building the season step by step.
