Óscar Fernández: “We want to close out the season at the Antonio Puchades with that win we’ve been looking for some time”

VCF Mestalla head coach, Óscar Fernández, analyses on VCF Media Sunday’s final home game and penultimate of the season at 6 pm against AE Prat on Matchday 7 of group III-E at 6 pm kick-off time.  

“Being the last home game, after a tough season where results haven’t gone our way, closing out the season at the Antonio Puchades with a win that we’ve been looking for some time would be an extra motivation for us to get it. The boys have been working well given the difficulties of knowing the situation we are in. But beyond of that, we have to compete to try to take all three points to try to close out the last home game with a win”.

It’s a tough game because AE Prat have plenty at stake. If we take a look at this phase’s fixtures, they’re all really even and they are all decided by small details, like any Segunda B game. We’ll try pick up that morale win, of knowing that it has been a tough season, but at least, you close out your home season with all three points.

It’s going to be a hard fought game with players that they will have to overcome, and it will be a game like all Segunda B games: hard fought, with plenty of second-ball situations, great defensive organisation defensively where we’ll have to capitalise on the opposition’s mistake.     

It’s the same vein as usual. What has to go our way is the effectiveness, I said it, except for the game against UE Olot at the Puchades where we didn’t have a good game, in the rest of the games, the team have always turned up, facing the games and showcased interesting things on the pitch, but we lacked effectiveness in the final third, after all this game is about being effective not about deserving it.”
