Eón returns to the pavilion this Saturday at 7:30 a.m., a month after that tough defeat, ready to face Sant Quirze and prove to his supporters that the team can rebound and move forward with renewed focus.
First of all, how is the squad after the loss in Antequera?
The mood is sober. The players aren’t satisfied with how they performed in Antequera, and the defeat at home to Caserío followed by the setback in Ciudad Real’s Copa del Rey has left a sting. Still, the group is determined to lift their heads, reset their mindset, and approach upcoming games with incremental improvements that compound into better results.
What do you think went wrong, or what is missing?
There was a degree of inconsistency in both defense and offense. The game’s momentum swung when Matheus was sent off after just seventeen minutes, which clearly disrupted the flow and disrupted their rhythm. Addressing that disruption and stabilizing the team’s cohesion remain priorities.
Fortunately, there are still many leagues to play and a fresh opportunity this Saturday…
That’s right. There are numerous fixtures ahead, and this sport lives on every contest. Saturday’s match represents a chance to rectify mistakes and also to prepare for the next away test against TROPS Málaga. The coaching staff understands that fixing the recurring issues will require concentrated effort and careful adjustments, but the team is committed to the process.
Moreover, coming back home after nearly a month away should help the squad regain confidence and re-establish momentum for the stretch run of the season. Playing at home this weekend is seen as an ideal setting to recalibrate and lift collective spirits.
