“I think we played well and we are improving.” At the end of Oviedo’s last summer trial against Ponferradina, in which the blues won the penalty shootout after 1-1 after 90 minutes, the striker Alemão issued an optimistic diagnosis about the state of the blue team ahead of the start of the league competition, which will take place next Monday against Tenerife.
“Every time we are more prepared to play as the coach wants,” resolved the Brazilian, who feels “happy” for his “rapid” adaptation process. “The closer we get to the start of the season, the more prepared we will be”, continued an Alemão for whom Oviedo is “improving”. Lastly, the former Porto Alegre International soccer player emphasized that his teammates are “high quality.” “I feel good playing with everyone,” Alemão stressed, delighted after scoring his first goal for the Carbayón team with a shot close to the right corner of the goal.
The other great protagonist of the match was the goalkeeper Braat, who saved three penalty kicks (one during the game and two in the shoot-out). “I’m very happy with the game. Not everything was perfect, but it was my second game of the preseason, I’m back from the injury and I have to keep working to help the team,” said the Frenchman, who also pointed out that the shoulder that kept him in the dry dock at the beginning of the preseason is “one hundred percent”. “I have no pain, I have as much mobility as possible, he has almost the same strength as the other shoulder,” he emphasized.
Regarding the fight for ownership with the newcomer Leo Román, whom he considers “a very good goalkeeper”, Braat pointed out that it is Cervera who will decide “who is going to play” and that he will be “one hundred percent”. “Maybe it’s like last year, in which I didn’t start as a starter and I worked to be able to have a chance. If I play I’ll try to give my best,” he asserted.
Yesterday was the last friendly match for Álvaro Cervera’s team. The blue team will face their last week of work with the aim of making their debut on the right foot next Monday at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López against Tenerife (9:00 p.m.). The blue team’s debut, the first made from the ground up by the Pachuca Group, at Carlos Tartiere, will take place on Sunday the 20th. It will be against Racing de Ferrol, one of the blues’ pre-season rivals, starting at 17 hours.
