Álvaro Fernández finished the game against Valencia devastated, being consoled by his teammates and rivals and apologizing for his new blunder to a crowd that didn't know whether to forgive him or execute him. But he soon recovered. At the end of the day he assured in his networks that he would recover, because he had "personality for it". This is the Espanyol goalkeeper. A survivor who made his debut at the age of 15 in the first team of his town, Arnedo, and who has had to overcome in the past the vicissitudes that living under goal entails. He warned him on his first day, his personality was his strong point. And despite the fact that the debate over his ownership has overshadowed his benefits, he goes to Cádiz to redeem himself.
The last word on his ownership will be Diego Martínez, who has given no clues about a possible change in goal. On the contrary, at a press conference he conceded that he had seen it “good. When you have frustration and those 24 hours after that are positive because they give you energy to channel it positively. Afterward, the emotional hangover should be zero,” he noted.
Sergio González, a Cadista coach with a blue and white past, assures that his obligation is to “test” Álvaro Fernández. An attempt to put more tons of pressure on the Riojan goalkeeper's morale and to encourage his men to improve their catastrophic numbers. Cádiz is penultimate having added one point less (4) than Espanyol, who will start the game in relegation places, but have only scored one goal in their seven games.
The occasion, therefore, seems unbeatable to "banish the anomalous situations" that have weighed down the team and achieve victory. Diego Martínez said accepting these scenarios as "part of the game" but has demanded correct "error management". "If we overcome adversity we will come out stronger," he reflected.
