Copa del Rey arrives at El Alcoraz next Tuesday in the second play-off clash of the competition. It will meet SD Huesca and Girona FC in a week described as “beautiful” by Xisco Muñoz, since the Oscenses play home twice. “We must enjoy and take this opportunity to go a step further. Two home games await us and we need to continue having this strong bond with our supporters,” indicated the Azulgrana manager ahead of our mid-week match. 

“Every player should have their chances in this type of encounters so that they can step forward and move on individually as well as collectively,” he added, pointing out the confidence players can win from an outing like this one “by taking good feelings from the game and offering things.”

The Majorcan expects a good clash against Girona FC, given the fact that “both teams have something to offer.” “We have to play a serious game. Girona are a dynamic rival with talented players who leave you little room for mistakes. If you get wrong, you may concede a goal. I’m not sure whether the coach will stick with the usual players, but he has a good amount of depth in his squad,” Xisco told us about the rival.

He finally mentioned our home fans: “As we did against Valladolid, we need to offer brilliant matches to our crowd, and have a strong start to the game. We have to get good results in the next two encounters,” he ended.
