Almería coach, Joan Francesc Ferrer ‘Rubi’he said on the eve of receiving the Córdoba in a match on the thirteenth day of LaLiga Hypermotionpostponed on its day due to a warning to avoid heavy rain, which is “on full alert” for the rival’s potential, despite the fact that “the numbers are not favorable” at home.
The coach of UD Almería said this Monday afternoon in a press conference that they want to avoid a surprise and continue the good streak of his team, which is ranked eighth with 25 points and could be second if they win, but warned already Córdoba is “a very good team, very famous for its football.”
“The idea of the two teams is almost the same. It’s a rivalry that I admire; the four that get up show football with a lot of personality. Córdoba is the hero and is coming to find you”, insists the Catalan, to whom, despite the fact that the green and white team has added only one point away from El Arcángel so far, “he is one of the most focused and shoots”.
He emphasized that the team is coached by Iván Ania “He is about to chain more victories” and as such he is “on full alert”, and he predicted “an attractive fight for the audience because of the opponent’s proposal”.
The red-and-white coach does not consider it a handicap to play again, after winning 1-2 in Cartagena, having done only two training sessions and adding that “we have to accept the days to come because it will be the same for both of them”, because both teams will come “well” in this Andalusian duel after its postponement.
“In the qualification level, we achieved a hit,” highlighted Rubi, who assured that Córdoba is not the only Spanish-French midfielder Theo Zidane and stressed that the rival “has some important players and we should not focus in stopping Zidane”, although ” “One day it is true that he scored a great goal.”
Regarding the short recovery period, he explained that this type of situation will be constant until Christmas, because “the widest margin” that there will be “between game and game will be four days”, so it will be “a clear preparation on the video base, but it is for both of us, also for Córdoba.”
The Almería coach confirmed the recall of midfielder Gonzalo Melero after an injury, saying “it will be a huge surprise if he is not called up” and specifying that, in principle, the only casualties are Argentine midfielder Lucas Robertone and defender Édgar González, who saw a fifth yellow card in Cartagena.
Regarding the situation in the upper zone, Rubi pointed out that “I will leave the Race – the leader – there” and that “the important thing today” is that they can “sleep on the direct promotion, and that is incredible” , but he clarified that “The competition will continue to be very tough, with many teams hanging around,” and “there is still a long way to go to experience the pre-party atmosphere.”
