Álex Centelles: 'We need physicality and bite in attack against Cádiz CF'
The UD Almería left-back calls for backing from the fans as it will be essential in Saturday's match against direct rivals at the Power Horse Stadium.
UD Almería left-back Alex Centelles has caught up with the press as Saturday's clash against direct rivals Cádiz CF is fast approaching: 'There are 13 Matchdays to go and all of them are vital, although I wouldn't call them all finals because nothing has been decided yet.' He is fully aware of the relevance of the imminent appointment at the Power Horse Stadium, since as he argued 'we have to walk out onto the pitch with physicality and bite in attack; Cádiz CF are direct rivals and we'll be playing at home, where we're a brilliant team.'
When talking about the keys to the game, the 23-year-old player, who hopes to continue their home comforts, said: 'If we want to achieve victory, we must be ourselves and stick to our playing style that has given us so many points on home turf.' In addition, Centelles considers the backing from the fans in the stands essential: 'I'd ask the fans to cheer on us over the 90 minutes, as it's happened up to now. All together, we'll succeed and in the end, we'll achieve our goal.'
After two defeats on the spin, it is key to collect the three points this Saturday in Almería: 'The table from mid-table downwards is really tight, and to get out of the bottom three, we must start maintaining consistency,' as he reminded everyone that a victory could mean return to the safety spots.
For Alex Centelles, UD Almeria do not need to look beyond the next match: 'We can't speculate, but rather focus on what imminent, in this case Cádiz CF, and try to pick up all three points against them because there will be less and less margin...'
Before concluding, the Valencia-born reflected 'I started the season with the ambition of a first campaign in the top flight, but I sustained an injury that kept me on the treatment table for a long time. It's been hard, but I'm now prepared when the head coach needs me. Whenever I play, I always try to do my very best and be the best version of myself to help my team.'
