On November 3, Bidasoa Irun played for the last time and, after the break for national team matches, returns to action this Friday, hosting Guadalajara at 8:00 p.m. in Artaleku. The last home game was on October 29.
A priori, the clash between the current runners-up and a newly promoted team should have a clear forecast, but there is no such thing in the Asobal League and there is only four points difference between the two teams.
Alex Mozas warns that “the teams at the bottom, when they come to Artaleku, have nothing to lose. On the other hand, we do have a lot to lose in this game.” That’s why he wants us to “find the exact point of not having a lot of pressure because we have to win the game very quickly and match the intensity that Guadalajara is going to have a little bit.” In any case, he sees the team “super motivated, focused on this game and without thinking about anything else, neither the past nor what is coming.”
On paper, the break could have been good for Bidasoa Irun, because “we were already very tired from so much traveling in that month of nine games. In fact, on the last day in Nava, the accumulation and fatigue were already noticeable a little. “It can be good for us not only physically, but mentally as well.”
The Irundarras resumed training on Monday, in a week that “is always scary, because we had many players with their national teams, with trips and matches. “They have all come well.” The man from Madrid assures that “this week has been one of the best we have had in training, so I am happy and above all confident for the game.”
Del Guadalajara highlights that “he has maintained a block for a long time and knows what he is playing. “He always generates problems and his matches are usually even.”
Despite that, «obviously we have the obligation to win, to remain hooked on the teams above, which are two points away. And on this day there is a lot of direct confrontation and it can be good for us, as long as we do our duty.
The Poles from Bidasoa Irun Jakub Sladkowski and Piotr Mielczarski are playing on loan in the Alcarreño team. Mozas assures that he is “very happy with the operation that the club has made, because they are having enough minutes and they are playing at a very good level. “The two are showing that they can be important players in this league, who in the future can surely contribute here at Bidasoa.”
He details that center back Mielczarski “started very well and then his performance dropped a little, but I’m sure he’s going to have a good game here.” And the pivot Sladkowski “is evolving very well.” He was chosen in the ideal seven of the eighth day of Asobal.
