All the effort made this first stretch of the season with matches every three days week yes week can also be rewarded today. This afternoon at the Municipal (2/4 of 6, Esport3), Llagostera has the opportunity to write another important page in its history and qualify for the Federation Cup final. Before that, however, it will be necessary to overcome a rival like UCAM Murcia. A team that a few years ago competed in Second A and is called to fight to get back there. Despite the laziness it could do at the beginning of the season, the Copa Federació has become a good source of income for Girona. After eliminating Ejea, Nàstic and Platges Calvià, and once in the semi-finals, Llagostera has won the right to take part in the Copa del Rey, which already means a ticket of 40,000 in the drawer. In addition, just to reach the semi-finals of the Federation Cup, you already have 12,000 euros insured. If he is able to beat UCAM today and qualify for the final he will have a guaranteed 30,000 euros more, which would be 90,000 if he is crowned champion. Definitely a unique opportunity to find income in a very difficult time.
Llagostera and UCAM do not arrive on equal terms with the party. While Girona have just played on Sunday in Badalona and have also competed on Thursday against L’Hospitalet, the Murcians arrived in Catalonia yesterday well rested because they have not had a game this weekend. “We are at a disadvantage in this regard. We arrived more tired. We have players who have played the last three games and it is difficult for them to repeat. We will try to manage it as well as we know how and maybe we will save some for the second half or for a possible extension “, said the coach Oriol Alsina. The coach will not be able to count on Juvanteny, injured, or Aleix Roig, still confined, while Santi Magallán will be in doubt until the last minute due to a strong blow to the foot. “We will draw strength from weakness from wherever it is. So many matches affect us later in the League but the sporting, social and economic prize is very important “, he adds. The coach confesses that “those who are better physically” will play today.
Alsina considers UCAM to be a “very complicated rival” with players “with a lot of experience in Second A”. College students are leaders in Group 4B of Second B after four days. Some of the best-known players in the team coached by José María Salmerón are goalkeeper Biel Ribas, center-back Josete Malagón, winger Santi Jara and forwards Aketxe and Jauregi. “El Llagostera is a team that grows strong at home, in a small field with artificial turf. We have our weapons and we will look to do a good job in this complicated scenario “, said the university defender, Víctor Díaz, year. It will be the first time that Llagostera and UCAM Murcia will face each other in an official match because the two teams did not match during their Second Division A stages.
Without the magic that has given the heat of the public in the great occasions, the Llagostera will try today to make another one of his. At stake, there is a good economic pinch and also the possibility of fighting for a title in a final for the first time in its history.
