Telecable Gijón retakes the OK Liga visiting the Vila-Sana field with second place at stake. The Catalan team is probably the one that has been best strengthened this season, with the arrival of several Argentine players of the highest level. Among them, nothing more and nothing less than Luchi Agudo, who for five seasons defended the colors of the La Calzada team and with whom he won the first titles. Agudo decided to return to Spain and his first option was to return to Gijón, but Vila-Sana’s offer was unmatched for the Gijón club.
Luchi did not arrive alone at the Catalan club, since there are also Valentina Fernández, Julieta’s sister, also a former Telecable player, and Florencia Felamini, the three internationals with Argentina. The squad is completed by players such as Laura Barcons or Victoria Porta, current top scorer in the league with 14 goals, seconded by two of the Argentines, Luchi and Valentina, with 10 goals each. The Catalans have won everything on their court and have only lost one match, at Manlleu, the intractable leader so far.
For his part, Fernando Sierra, coach of the Gijonesas, will have the entire squad at his disposal to defend that privileged second position. Telecable Gijón has won everything except for the draw on the Liceo court, against one of those who are expected to be direct rivals for the titles at stake this season. The Gijon team has been training hard during this Christmas break since they knew that in the resumption they would have me face the strongest rivals, such as Vila-Sana or Manlleu, in addition to facing the first phase of the European League, in which he will have to face another posh team such as Benfica from Lisbon.
The team arrives well, on a streak of positive results and seeing the goal with ease. In fact, the match will face the two teams with the highest score of the OK Liga, Vila-Sana with 48 goals and Telecable Gijón, 41. The Catalans have scored seven more, but have also conceded more, 13 to 9 for the Gijón . Telecable’s top scorers are being Sara Roces and Nuria Obeso, with 9 goals each. One of the most outstanding notes of Telecable Gijón this season is that the scoring facet is distributed among practically the entire squad, since Sara Lolo and Marta Piquero have 7 and Natasha Lee, 6.
