UD welcomes Lugo this Saturday (8:00 p.m.) with the desire to impose quality and rhythm to maintain good inertia

In the purpose of the UD to continue consuming time and calendar where you want to finish the course, between the two best in the category and with the jackpot that has been desired for a long time,
winning games like this Saturday is non-negotiable. Lugo does not arrive in Gran Canaria with halos, but that almost unnoticed air, dressed as a guest at the party, is deceptive. It’s well known around here. Ibiza, Burgos, Racing or Albacete came under those parameters and ended up getting a cut.

It is known that the SmartBank League penalizes the team that picks up the leg, is half used or simply has an elusive lucky day. It is not always its own demerit, but frequently a certain laxity is recorded in the debt that ends up taking its toll.

It is not intended to happen in this case, and even less with a Lugo that has only added one point from the last fifteen: four defeats and a draw in 2023.
Hurt, in relegation places and confused with his third coach in the band since the competition started, his indications could not be more alarming. Descent meat except for a radical turn that they don’t even trust the Anxo Carro.

This is how the matter is presented to a UD that, in the opposite of the opponent, does not stop projecting reliability and captivating moments of play.
Having Viera or Moleiro is an exclusivity that translates for the better on most occasions. There is also a goalkeeper, a Valles who has won many points, and what to say about the rest of the choir. There is a reason the leader looks this way well into the second round.

no complacency

The brake on complacency comes from the boss. Pimienta does not trust anyone and his call for intensity and order forms the weekly mantra that everyone soaks up. At the top of their lungs, few obstacles must be found by the UD to dispatch whoever they catch.

But not every day the symphony works, so those preventive messages come and more in these moments in which the transcendence begins to redouble. “Better look at ourselves,” assured Sergi Cardona, as speaker of the locker room, regarding the pressure of having to tilt your neck down to see others.

Mfulu’s entry into the midfield as well as some nuance on the offensive front, with Pejiño or Marvin as candidates to sneak into the eleven They are the possible novelties for the eleven to form on this occasion.

He has to choose, and plenty of it, a coach who is satisfied with what his men have been giving him but who is always moved by the desire to improve and perfect, restless even at heights, in a tireless process that is contagious: the important thing is always ahead. come. And Lugo is now the beginning and the end.
