The decisive month of May begins this Saturday for Amorebieta with the duel that will face Real Murcia in Urritxe (5:00 p.m.) in what will be one of the highlights of the day. The Blues defend their leadership and their two-point advantage over Eldense, while Murcia fights not to be left out of the play-off places. A dizzying duel in which the zornotzarras will try to add their sixth consecutive victory so as not to have to look askance at the other great duel of the weekend, the one that will measure Eldense and Barcelona B, second and third in the table.
Haritz Mujika is expeditious when referring to that Pepico Amat duel. «I don’t care what they do, we only think about ours and winning ours, we don’t care what others do. I want to win my game”, blurts out the Pasajes coach, aware that if they win against the pepper team they could take an important step forward in their fight for direct promotion to the Second Division.
Obviously, the important thing for the Amorebieta is to continue doing his homework well, even more so at home. Although in front of them will be one of the great giants of the group, Murcia. A historic player who has been fighting for several unsuccessful campaigns to return to professional football and revive old laurels. A great club that, however, is a bundle of nerves after the poor results of the last three games, which have practically taken them out of the privileged zone and have put their coach, Mario Simón, on the ropes.
In the Zornotzarra locker room they are already on notice of their rival’s emergencies, although it is not that they need to motivate themselves for a match of such magnitude. “The team is very aware to continue the work that has brought us here because the rivals are playing more and more,” warns Mujika. “We know that the opportunity we have is great, but we must continue doing the same, without going crazy,” says the one from Pasajes.
In this sense, the blues coach believes that returning to Urritxe on this day is important to have that positive continuity in the results. “At home the most important thing is us to try to maintain the dynamics, we must continue competing just as well, be very serious and try to concede little to the rival,” he defends. “We have spent many games leaving a clean sheet and that is key to winning later. At home we put rhythm, intensity, we have occasions. So if we keep a clean sheet we have a better chance of winning”, he adds.
That will be one of the great challenges for Amorebieta this Saturday, trying to leave their frame immaculate against a Murcia that has enormous offensive potential and that has been able to obtain better returns as a visitor than at Enrique Roca. “It is a team that has scored many points away from home, but the pressure they have at home with the fans takes a little less. Outside is a team that competes well, with clear ideas, players who are very good and who can mess you up at any time. It is a solid team in defense as well, ”Mujika recounts.
offensive potential
If there is a name that stands out above the others in the pepper box, that is Pedro León. The experienced striker from Mula has scored 14 goals this season -the same as Jauregi-, in addition to 4 assists, and is one of the pillars on which Murcia’s game is based. “We all know him, we know his quality, he plays a lot with his feet and he has a very good shot from set pieces, so we’ll try to avoid those silly free kicks near the box,” says Mujika. “He is the best known, he gives that quality to the team, but they have very good players, a large squad to be able to solve in the last minutes,” warns the head of the Urritxe bench.
From his analysis of the rival, Haritz Mujika points out that “they handle many styles, they are a dangerous team in that sense.” «They play a lot inside, the wingers get in to receive, they accumulate many players. They associate, they like to have the ball and they go well with the full-backs, who are the ones who give depth in attack, “he explains.
«I think it will be a very disputed game. In Urritxe people tend to change things, we’ll see. We have faced teams like that before and what we have to do is press and try to steal fast. We have to put speed, be in the area, be strong in disputes and compete as we are competing, which is the key, “concludes Mujika.
