The Harlequin team, in relegation places, starts the year with a duel against a direct rival
“Changes on the bench are part of football,” Astals said about Gabri’s departure
Sabadell faces this 2023 with that saying of “new year, new life & rdquor ;. They debut a new coach after the dismissal of Gabri García, seeking to change the dynamics and move away from the relegation places in which he is immersed after 17 days played.
On the first day, they will have their first ‘match ball’ in a duel against a direct rival like Athletic B. “On Sunday we have the incentive to play at home and we want to give the three points to the fans. We will go out with everything and we are clear that the goal is to win, but we don’t take it as a final& rdquor ;, stated the harlequin player, David Astals, at a press conference.
midfielder also revealed Miki Lladó’s plansin his new role as head coach: “He has told us that he doesn’t want to take risks in the defensive zone,” he commented, adding that “circumstances lead to changes and now we have to adapt to this new scenario.”
Regarding the change in the bench, Astals stated that it is something that “is part of football & rdquor;, although he admits that “it was difficult for me to accept it because Gabri trusted me & rdquor ;. Even so, he looks with good feelings towards the Lladó era, whom he already had in lower categories. “Now I have a coach who helped me a lot in grassroots football, but I have to work day after day to earn my place & rdquor ;, he settled.
