The Amorebieta coach puts the value on the point achieved in Sabadell, which they will try to “make good in Urritxe” this Sunday

Everything is practically ready in Urritxe to welcome the return of Amorebieta to his home. It will be this Sunday from twelve noon, in a match in which the Blues will face Iker Unzueta’s SD Logroñés, who headed to the La Rioja team this summer. A premiere in their fiefdom for those of Haritz Mujika who face “with desire and enthusiasm”, but above all, with the idea of ​​”leaving the three points at home”, as the Pasajes coach pointed out at a press conference.

«We are not nervous, but we are very excited. We are aware, we know what Urritxe is and what it has to mean for us. Here we must make ourselves strong, get a lot of points, starting with this game”, launched the head of the Urritxe bench, who also took the opportunity to make an appeal to the fans. «This summer many people have come to see us in preseason. We also hope that on Sunday you will join us and encourage us. We will need them all year. Hopefully with the results we will engage more and more fans ».

In their debut last week at the Nova Creu Alta, Amorebieta scratched a point that could well have been three if it weren’t for something badly annulled. “I’m not going to mention what happened to us at the end of the game because it’s going back to last year,” Mujika noted in this regard. Although the truth is that the zornotzarras did not play a good game against Sabadell. “It was difficult, it was difficult for us to catch the ball, to be protagonists”, admits the Urritxe coach, worried about “not having had more presence with the ball or more possession”. The equipment is totally new and shows a lack of ease. Matter of minutes.

However, ahead of this Sunday’s duel Haritz Mujika assures that “we have worked well, surely we will be more protagonists.” A Mujika who above all wants “the kids to show the football they have.” In Urritxe’s locker room they only have in mind to make good the point scored on the first day with a victory at home against the team from La Rioja. «We want to continue improving and taking the good dynamics. Carrying out the home games is what is going to make us be at the top, “says the coach.

Of the rival, Mujika highlights that although “he has changed many players, he keeps the same coach and with a style of play similar to last year.” «SD Logroñés is a team that treats the ball well, that tries to come out from behind. It’s a good team. We have to be patient and press well », he sums up. “It will be difficult but I hope that the three points stay at home.”

In the rojiblancas ranks will be an old man known as Iker Unzueta, who embarked this summer on the ship from Logroño after his time in Urritxe. «We have had him here and we know what ‘Unzu’ is capable of. He is a good player, he has shown it over the years. He is in danger and surely he wants to score in Urritxe », warns Mujika.

The Amorebieta coach also briefly reviewed the transfer market, confirming the news advanced by this newspaper. Kwasi Sibo is already closed with the blues and on Sunday he will see his new teammates live in Urritxe. “We are very happy because it has been a very hard job. We have had to change many players and that has its complications. We have a great squad, a great team and now we have to get the most out of it », he comments proudly.

With the incorporation of the Ghanaian Sibo, Amorebieta considers the squad “closed in principle”, but “we still have a free card, anything can happen”, as Mujika himself comments. In Urritxe they are still waiting for Xabi Etxeita.
