The Amorebieta coach points out the need to transfer the performance that the Blues are getting in Urritxe to their trips
Amorebieta will try to put an end to its poor run of results this Sunday away from Urritxe. The zornotzarras have only added one point away from home, a completely insufficient baggage that they hope to straighten out from this very day. Although it will not be easy for the Blues, who will face a Cornellá team that has gone seven consecutive days without losing.
Haritz Mujika, who faces the last of the four suspension games with which he was punished for some statements last year, calls on his team to take a step forward. “We must demand more of ourselves abroad, we must push and be aware that we can put pressure on a team at his home just like we do at Urritxe,” he says.
“It cannot be every week taking a step back every time we play away, and then forcing ourselves to win at home,” he adds vehemently. The objective of the coach from Pasajes is clear, that Amorebieta is gaining positions in the table. “At home we are getting points, but if we want to go up we have to win away”.
In recent days, Amorebieta has significantly improved their numbers, especially in containment tasks. They have only conceded one goal in three games, putting an end to the bloodletting that had been so far. Figures that are good but “we must continue to improve.” “We have to follow the path of having clean sheets and being a forceful team away from home as well,” he says.
That forcefulness in the areas is for the holder of the Urritxe bench what will mark the future of the match against Cornellá, a team that makes its goals well profitable. Seven scored and seven received by Gonzalo Riutort’s team. “We know that this game is going to be very demanding against a rival that is in very good dynamics. We must be very involved the ninety minutes without making mistakes. They score few goals but also receive few. That is why we will have to be very forceful in defense and in attack to be able to add the three points, “says Mujika. “It’s a game to be forceful in the areas,” he emphasizes. “The one who is most successful defending and attacking is the one who is going to win the game,” he says, using the football cliché.
«They have gone seven days without losing and have achieved six clean sheets. He is a rival who demands a lot from you. It is a team that varies its system a bit, it can play with four or five behind. In attack, he associates well on the inside, the forwards occupy the areas well… », describes Haritz Mujika. “In Cornellá matches there are not so many chances, so we must be effective and also concede as little as possible,” he adds.
“It is a game in which we will have to work hard. To keep a clean sheet we will have to press hard, work on the pressure after losing… bite into the rival field, which we still need a little away from home, “admits Mujika. “Then we have enough weapons to do damage.”
Change of schedule in Copa
This Sunday will be the last league duel for Amorebieta before facing the first Copa del Rey tie against Atlético Saguntino. The clash was going to be played on Sunday, November 13, but it will finally be brought forward to Saturday. The reason given by the Saguntine group is the coincidence in date with the fifth edition of the 30K Ciutat de Sagunt popular race, in which around two thousand runners participate and which runs through some of the main arteries of the city.
