After a month of intense activity in which Amorebieta has had to face four practically consecutive displacements, the blues return to Urritxe this Sunday with their homework done. Their last three victories, in addition to all the previous good performance that makes them the best team in the second round, have taken the blues to the second step of the table, a stone’s throw from first place. A leadership that they want to reach and consolidate in the remaining six days of the regular season in the First Federation.
Six days that will be six finals for Haritz Mujika’s team, ambitious and in great form, immersed in a positive dynamic that they want to try to extend until the end of the League. The bar of demand is very high, and so it must continue to be if you want to opt for the ‘jackpot’. That is something that is very clear in the Zornotzarra dressing room.
“We are very motivated, we know that in these six games we must continue the same, without losing our essence,” Mujika himself launches. “We must give everything in each game, concede little to our rivals, be very prepared in defense and attack, put in intensity and maintain the level to take the games forward,” adds the man from Pasajes, for whom “playing at home again is the best thing that can happen to us” after a “very hard” week with the double commitment against La Nucía and Real Sociedad B.
The ones they have in the blue booth have clear slogans and that they must put down this Sunday (12:00 p.m.) on the return to Urritxe, where they will receive a UD Logroñés urgently needed. The La Rioja team fights for objectives totally opposite to those of Amorebieta, since it is in the relegation zone, with the permanence at seven points. A delicate situation that leaves Sergio Rodríguez’s men with little room for manoeuvre. Anything that is not punctuating their visit to the Biscayan fiefdom would leave them very touched. And that is precisely what makes the red-and-white dangerous.
«What the classification says doesn’t matter to me, Logroñés has very good players, with talent, it’s a great team, its players have been demonstrating their quality for many years. If we are not up to it, that talent can appear and ruin the game for us, ”warns Mujika. «At nothing you relax a bit, all rivals have their resources. So far we are doing very well but if you let your guard down, they paint your face », he points out very explicitly.
The message from the head of the Urritxe bench is meridian, a warning signal not only for his dressing room, but also towards the outside. The Amorebieta has no intention of lifting the accelerator foot. It would be a bit that so brave of ‘die killing’. And he plans to do it with what have been his weapons throughout the season. “We have that great motivation to see ourselves up there, but if we don’t do what we have been doing in recent weeks it is very difficult for us to win,” he says. “Work comes first, competing well comes first. Compete, the order of the team and add intensity to our game », he adds.
«It would be bad to think that we are going to win without competing, without working on the game. I think that in this sense the team is aware that we must follow the same line, knowing the difficulty of the rival. They play a lot on the inside, they put good wing centers, and that in Urritxe can be dangerous. Upstairs they also have good players who may not be at their best level but who can find it at any time, “describes the coach of the zornotzarras.
For this reason, Mujika considers that on Sunday it will be very important “to know how to read the game, be very attentive and not concede.” “We must have a good start, put in that intensity that we put in, we believe that this can be key to this game,” he assesses. And, of course, have the massive support of the Zornotzarra parish. «More and more people come and for us it is better, they help us in the bad moments that there may be in the games. We need your help in these remaining games, because it is also thanks to them that we are here », he thanks.
