First Team
UD Almería turn attention to LaLiga Hypermotion and SD Huesca
The Rojiblancos are confident that the Spanish Cup exit will not affect them on Sunday when they host the Oscenses with the aim of remaining top of the table. Rubi's side are on a 13-game unbeaten league run
UD Almería are now turning their attention to LaLiga Hypermotion and especially now SD Huesca. After their elimination from the Spanish Cup losing to CD Leganés, the team resumed training to begin preparing for the Oscenses' weekend visit. The Rojiblancos' hopes in the Cup tournament, we're wrecked in ten minutes, despite the brilliance of the football shown.
As head coach Rubi said in the post-match press conference: 'The sun will rise again tomorrow and we're going to go all out for our goal.'
The sun has actually risen and shining bright with the squad now building up to the next fixture not letting the Spanish Cup exit affect them, because it was a pain to lose the way they lost against the Pepineros. In addition, the injuries are also an issue since apart from the three crocked players, Gui Guedes, Baba and Rachad, Luis Suárez has to serve a one-match ban. Marezi was not called up against CD Leganés and it will be necessary to check up on him.
This Thursday's session was a recovery one for those who got the most minutes in the Cup tie while the rest of the squad members trained at a higher intensity. This Friday and Saturday, behind closed doors, the squad will train tactically to prepare for Sunday's meeting with which the Rojiblancos want to continue topping the table.
UD Almería are on a 13-game unbeaten run with 10 victories and 3 draws and three points over second-placed Elche CF and third-placed Racing de Santander. CD Mirandés sit fourth 4 points away, while the gap with fifth-placed Levante UD and sixth-placed SD Huesca widens to 6.
The Huesca outfit are direct rivals in the race for promotion and beating them would mean taking a new huge step forward in their aspirations.
