The coach of UD Las Palmas, Xavi García Pimienta, directed this Wednesday a new training session for the yellow team in which high pressure was implemented on the field aimed, among other factors, to force the rival to make mistakes and facilitate the recovery of the ball. This approach requires great intensity and coordination on the part of the team.
UD Las Palmas head into Saturday’s LaLiga EA Sports match with the idea of keeping the pulse of options to stay in the First Division on a priority basis. Valencia CF, for its part, is looking at UD Las Palmas without airs of superiority being given away Both clubs are in the middle of the table. The yellow team, the second with the lowest budget in LaLiga EA Sports, wants to reach 38 points before the end of March.
In the 2023-24 season, UD Las Palmas averaged 548 passes per game with 85% success rate. That means: 10.8 shots on goal per game, which puts it in the middle of the classification table. The yellow team has an average of 58% ball possession. The recipe for players is to believe in their abilities and have confidence in themselves make decisions safely.
The group taught by García Pimienta continues to prepare before the LaLiga EA Sports match Saturday against Valencia CF at the Gran Canaria Stadiumin daily sessions at Ciudad Deportiva until Friday.
What is expected? UD Las Palmas focuses on possession and control of the football, with a short and precise passing game. This style of play is usually slower than a more direct game based on counterattacks.
Valencia CF’s style of play has paid off with Rubén Baraja as coach. The team showed improvement in pressure, verticality and ball possession. The deck is looking for a balance between attack and defense, without giving up possession of the ball but also not neglecting defensive solidity. The peninsular club hit the opponent high to recover the ball quickly and generate scoring opportunities.
Values. UD Las Palmas hosted a meeting this week with Pedro Varas, head of LaLiga Integrity, in promoting core valuesincluding respect, protection against fraud, fraud and violence.
The sessions, designed to strengthen competitive integrity, addressed important topics such as prejudgment and manipulation of results, sports betting or anti-violence measures, as well as the importance of maintaining integrity and respect in every encounter.
