The Alcoyano coach, Vicente Parras Alcoyano, is set to travel to Castalia for a face-to-face clash this Friday at 21:00. Castellon sits comfortably in the standings, and the team from Alcoy has embraced a positive mood as they approach the final phase of the competition. Parras has spoken about the group’s ambition to return to showing their best form, as they have done on the bigger stages this season. He emphasised that the moment of truth has arrived and that every point missed cannot be recovered. Each match brings its own challenges, and the team plans to approach the decisive phase with confidence. After two draws with San Fernando and Villarreal B, the earlier losses to Barcelona B, Atletico Baleares, and Linares have faded into the background, lifting the team’s spirits as they prepare for the trip to Castalia. Alcoyano, now more settled in a category where they feel at home, aims to maintain that momentum.
Parras noted that regaining trust has been the pattern over the last two results. The team has delivered solid performances as a collective, and with 40 points they hold a position that many teams would envy. The coach stated that the squad will head to Castellón with the intent of competing directly against one of the league’s strongest sides, a team that has faced a rough patch in recent matches. Parras believes the upcoming fixture is an exciting test that brings out the best in both the players and the opponent, a premier team known for its grit and duel wins. He expects a tough, highly competitive encounter that will demand maximum focus from everyone involved.
These are the matches that make players chase adrenaline and prove their mettle. The opponent is a strong side, and the occasion adds extra significance. The Alcoyano squad arrives with great energy, ready to meet the challenge and meet it with no doubt in their collective resolve. The goal is clear: prove their capability against a top-tier team and demonstrate the fighting spirit that has marked their campaign. They expect a demanding contest and plan to confront it with a determined mindset and relentless effort.
Alcoyano deserves more
The Alcoyano coach understands that a victory at Castalia would deliver a powerful statement to the promotion race. It would be a bold step toward reclaiming a more prominent position in the standings and reasserting their presence on the campaign’s upper end. The team must stay focused and fearless, recognizing the obstacles ahead while recognizing the opportunity this game represents. The coach acknowledged that the challenge is significant, but the squad is ready to meet it with courage and purpose.
The Friday trip to Castalia pits Alcoyano against Castellón, a match that offers a platform to defend their best performances on the big stages of the First RFEF. Vicente Parras aims to present the strongest version of his team, showcasing the improvements seen this season and reinforcing their belief in the quality they can bring to important fixtures.
Alcoyano hopes to mirror the positive displays seen in Castellón before, in games where they collected points against clubs like Villarreal B, Andorra, Sevilla Atlético, UCAM Murcia, and Algeciras. The aim is to replicate that winning mentality on Castellón’s soil, turning potential into tangible rewards and building momentum toward the promotion push.
Vicente Parras confirmed the team’s progress in recent fixtures. The improvement from San Fernando and Villarreal B has helped the defense regain solidity and the squad has shown a stronger collective structure. The recent run has given the players fresh confidence as they prepare for the upcoming tour, and there is a sense that this period could mark a turning point after months of hard work.
On the other hand, Alcoyano faces this trip with a collective mindset that reflects how the team has been working in recent weeks. The coach has relied on a broader selection and even called up two younger players on earlier journeys, a sign of growing depth as injuries and fatigue ease. The squad’s ambition is clear, and the desire to take advantage of this moment is evident in every line of preparation.
The midfield option will likely feature Fran Miranda’s record, and with the return of players such as Lillo Castellano and other key figures, the balance looks improved. After overcoming injuries that kept several players sidelined for a stretch, the team is ready to present a composed, competitive lineup.
The probable Alcoyano XI could include José Juan in goal, with Lillo or Toni Abad in defense; Raúl González, Primi, and Pablo Carbonell in the back line. In midfield, Andy Escudero, Imanol, Juanan and Ángel López are in the mix, while Dani Vega and Mourad are expected to lead the attack. This arrangement seeks to blend defensive sturdiness with attacking intent, leveraging the squad’s strengths as they face a formidable Castilian opponent.
