Ansotegi celebrates win over Girona and Sabadell's clean sheet

Sabadell beat Girona in a hard-fought match, with the visitors reduced to ten men and no goal conceded. Jon Ansotegi admitted the win pleases him above all for the young players, who had been working for weeks without the reward they deserved. According to Mundo Deportivo, the coach said that winning without conceding helps, something rare for the team.

Ansotegi warned that the next opponent is a tough Sabadell side, with very strong pressing and plenty of defensive work, and said many matches will be like this. He also sent condolences to the Tenerife circle over the death of Jesús De Miguel.

On the physical side, Kita had cramps in the last match and had to be substituted, but trained normally the following day. The coach thanked the Japanese Football Federation for letting him play on Monday, although in theory he was meant to leave. Ropero appears to be recovered.
