Intercity head coach Gustavo Siviero spoke about the upcoming clash with Cornellà at the Antonio Solana stadium, emphasizing the need for his group to keep building their game plan after the recent setback in Logroño. He reiterated that the team must keep structuring its play carefully and purposefully in order to turn a difficult result into a stepping stone for the rest of the season. The coach highlighted that every match is a new opportunity and that momentum can shift quickly when a squad stays true to its plan and maintains focus from the opening whistle.
Siviero, during his assessment of the league landscape, noted that Intercity has faced two defeats within five days while observing a high level of parity across the competition. He pointed out that several clubs with a long tradition in the league are chasing top positions, which makes the championship remarkably competitive from the first day. This competitiveness, he said, raises the bar for every team and tests their resilience week in and week out. The Argentine coach stressed that the fight for points is intense and that the season will demand consistency, tactical flexibility, and mental strength from all sides involved.
Regarding the next opponent, Siviero reminded fans and players alike that Cornellà remains a challenging adversary. Although currently positioned in the relegation zone, Cornellà has shown a strong appetite to climb the table, presenting a rising threat despite some early inconsistencies. The coach urged his squad to prepare meticulously for the match, to study Cornellà’s patterns, and to exploit any opportunity to gain three points. He underscored that the upcoming fixture will require discipline, smart pressing, and a clear game plan to prevail against a team that refuses to back down and keeps pressing opponents from the first minute.
In this Saturday’s game scheduled for 17:00 local time, Intercity will be without Emilio Nsue and Carlos Carmona, who were sent off in the previous match against SD Logroñés at Las Gaunas. The suspension of Leo Ferroni and Benja will also impact the squad, along with Álvaro Pérez who misses out due to a disciplinary sanction. Siviero stressed that the absences will demand collective responsibility from the squad, with others stepping up to fill the void and maintain the level of intensity and organization required to compete at a high level. The coach emphasized that the team has depth and versatility, and that the players who step in must execute the tactical plan with precision and urgency.
Siviero closed by reiterating that the season is a test of character for Intercity. He spoke about the importance of maintaining belief in their method, adapting to opponents, and delivering a complete performance on matchday. The coach suggested that performance consistency, combined with a clear strategic approach, will be the key to navigating the challenges ahead and climbing the standings as the campaign progresses.
