Share

Marbella FC hosts Betis Deportivo this Sunday at 5:00 PM in the fifth match of the Segunda División RFEF Group 4. The Marbella side will be looking to build on their positive performances in previous matches at the Banús Football Center against a Betis reserve team that currently leads the league, undefeated and without conceding a goal so far this season.

The main news in the squad announcement is the return of Marcos Olguin, almost a year after his knee injury. Pito Camacho also returns, leaving only two injured players unavailable: José Ortega and Tomi Guzmán. The squad consists of 21 players: Bloch, Lanchi, Naldo, Juan Rodríguez, Dani Fernández, Cristóbal Moreno, Awudu, Pito Camacho, Mizzian, Jaime Santos, Haruna, Gonzalo Castillo, Marcos Olguin, Adri Fernández, Víctor Mena, Ohemeng, Enrique, Thiago, Juanma, Fernando and Földi.

Statements by Antonio Calderón

Marbella's coach, Antonio Calderón, highlighted in the pre-match press conference that it had been a good week of work with a team that analyzed the last match well, "being aware of the work that was done, with good and bad things; and knowing that we played against a reserve team from the First Division."

Therefore, regarding their opponent, the Marbella coach stated that Betis Deportivo "is a team with very high-quality and talented players." In addition to being an extremely solid team, "they haven't conceded a single goal."

"They are a very talented opponent, with great passing ability and the capacity to link up and create chances," Calderón stated, also praising his own players, "we are also a good team. We are taking steps forward, getting to know each other better, and feeling more comfortable on the pitch."

One of the keys to the match will be to approach it with "high concentration." "They are players who, if you let them play, are capable of creating plays, and we have to try to make them uncomfortable and be able to take the ball away from them."

Calderón has once again highlighted the change of system he made against Atlético Central and that it has worked very well for the team, "with this solidity, we give the team security and when they feel secure they dare more and play better football."

In this regard, he wanted to emphasize that the opponent is a quality team but that "I'm worried that we're doing well."

"We need to be able to keep possession of the ball, finish plays, and when we have to defend, know where to pressure them so they are not effective," he said.

The new additions to the squad will be Pito Camacho and Marcos Olguin. The striker has been able to complete the week of training; while Olguin "can now be called up and is available to play a few minutes."

Marcos Olguin has been on a long break, so "we have to take it step by step so he can get comfortable." "We know he's played center back, full back, and central midfielder," but his return will be to the defensive line.
