Miki Codina warns: Sabadell must be “very serious” at Balaídos

Miki Codina, the Sabadell left-back who has been the undisputed starter on that side, spoke this Wednesday about the team’s strong start and made the dressing-room message clear: they must keep operating at full throttle. In comments reported by MARCA, the player said the squad is “very humble, very hardworking,” and stressed that if they ease off even slightly on performance and intensity, results won’t stay as good as they are.

Humility and intensity

Codina explained that the Sabadell group puts in plenty of work during the week and that the changes they make are what turn into points. He pointed to the first setback of the season—an “tough” loss at home to Mallorca—but said the team showed “character” in the “deserved” win over Oviedo (3-1). According to him, they corrected what needed fixing and delivered a strong performance to earn three points against a big opponent.

First away win on the line

After three straight victories at home in the Nova Creu Alta, Sabadell will try to win away for the first time this Saturday at Balaídos, facing Celta Fortuna, as MARCA reports. Codina acknowledged the context around the opponent—Celta Fortuna come off heavy defeats (0-4 and 2-0) and have lost players due to the international break—but insisted Sabadell will focus on itself. “We look much more at what we can improve than at the rival… we’ll have to play a very serious match,” he said, adding that in this division every opponent is well prepared and full of quality.

With Sabadell currently sixth in LaLiga Hypermotion, the Balaídos test will show whether this start is just a run or something more stable—especially by holding the same intensity away from home.
