Alcoyano’s sporting director, Josele González, stressed that expecting a defensive hold on success is not enough. He described the team’s current ascent under Vicente Parras as an opportunity that could rise to real promotion when the moment aligns. He acknowledged the obstacles ahead and the demanding schedule that lies in front of them, noting that if the team clears those hurdles, additional goals could become attainable in the near future.
González highlighted the club’s patience as they wait for a clear alignment with the blue and white squad’s objectives. He warned that the next four matches will be crucial and could trigger intense reactions from the supporters, given the stakes. The team faces conflicts stemming from previous clashes with Murcia, Malaga, and Castellón, as well as the challenge of traveling to El Collao and the headquarters of Atlético de Madrid’s subsidiary for a demanding round of fixtures.
Alcoyano added another point after a difficult start
González stated that if the team can emerge from these games with positive results, the path will become clearer. He explained that the immediate aim is to accumulate points and then map out the next steps. If it becomes impossible to secure a playoff spot after the aforementioned matches, the club will shift focus toward planning for the following season, evaluating their options with practical restraint and ambition.
Nevertheless, Alcoyano has shown resilience this season, collecting 13 points from the last 18 available. The run includes four wins and one draw, with just a single defeat—an away loss at the league leader, Ibiza. Despite this strong form, Deportivo is currently ten points behind fifth place Recreativo de Huelva, underscoring the tight race for promotion and the need for consistent performances in upcoming fixtures.
Parras: “We are in the best moment of the season and it is important to keep adding”
In this stretch, the emphasis from the sporting director is on maintaining momentum. The priority remains to maximize points, especially during away matches when the team has previously faced tougher challenges. The clear objective is to reach the 45-point threshold as soon as possible, a milestone that would provide breathing room to assess the season and solidify the long-term plan. The emphasis is on steady progress, measured risk, and a continued search for improvement across all areas of play. The club’s management stresses that each game contributes to the evolving strategy and the ultimate aim of stabilizing promotion prospects in the near term.
