Ud Lanzarote has a complicated appointment this Sunday (12:15h) at the Sports City against the second classified of group I, a Universidad de Las Palmas CF in a row that also does not know defeat in its seven visits to the Lanzarote venue integrated both combined in the bronze category. Although the Gran Canarian coach Tino Luis CAbrera has pointed out that "those are results of the past", the truth is that the rocky and competitive game of the "rojillos" is going through a slump in results in the last six days, in which they have only managed to add two draws.
"It will be a complicated match since UD Lanzarote has the most compact and competitive team that I remember from years ago", said Tino Luis in one of the compliments he threw at the Lanzarote team this week. And he went further: "I would say that it reminds me of the first team of the "Uni" that I trained in the Second B, a team of strong men that was difficult to beat and that also had quality", he sentenced. Precisely this Sunday the schoolboys will travel without the sanctioned Alex Santana and Sergio Hernández, two sensitive casualties in the center of the field that for the coach, "may be noticed because this year we have a very fair squad due to budget limitations." The top scorer of the "Uni", Alejandro Suárez (6 goals), signed a few days ago for PAlencia, while it seems confirmed that Víctor Bravo remains linked to the entity despite being wanted by other teams.
In UD Lanzarote, Javi Jiménez will not be on the side as he covers his second cycle of warnings this season. Neither will the also sanctioned Yeray Ortega, who will not return to the calls until mid-month. For the rest, coach Paco Gutierrez could have Fredik in the central pivot, together with Pereira, an initial wall against the verticality and danger of men like Ángel Luis, Juanra, Pollo or Ángel Sánchez.
Coach Paco Gutiérrez has acknowledged that a victory would be the best gift of Reyes for his team, although he has insisted that there is no crisis in the game, but there is in the results: "It is normal to have adverse results against rivals of the stature we have had, but we demand ourselves after the break to replenish energy and not let points escape from our field", pointed out the coach.
