Speaking about Monday’s rival, Natxo said: “Cartagena reached playoff positions not long ago, they are a powerful side with great players with talent, speed and experience. They’ll fight to be amongst the best.”

The coach analyses the player number ‘12’ factor: “We need the fans, and I’m sure they’ll be there to support us. They can help us win the game.” Natxo added that he trusts in “reinforcing what we’re doing well, every day in training, helping the players make the right decision. It’s about getting stronger and stronger, and we need to keep being brave.”

“We have to generate the chances ourselves and realise that we can perform well with the ball. In tough moments it’s harder to be brave, but our goal is if in the other match we created four chances, we need to create eight,” he added.

In addition, Natxo González has full confidence in making a good rush at the end of the season: “I would have liked to have arrived here with nine more points, but we’re creating something solid, of that I’m sure. Why can’t we have a good last 10 or 12 matches? Time will tell. We’re creating something solid for the immediate future, that's what I believe in and that's where we’re at.”
