Solozábal bets on turning Andorra’s run around at home
Hugo Solozábal says Andorra must fix defensive and mental issues after four straight defeats and believes they can bounce back vs Sporting.
Hugo Solozábal, a midfielder for FC Andorra, has spoken out after the team suffered four consecutive defeats. As reported by MARCA, the player insists the situation is “still very early” and that the squad can turn things around if it corrects what hasn’t been working.
Mistakes and mindset
Solozábal points to two main areas to improve: defending and mentality. He explains that, coming off losses, the team concedes and “doesn’t face things the same way,” which he says throws the plan off course. That’s why he believes they also need to work so that conceding a goal doesn’t destabilize the match.
Looking back at the most recent defeat against Real Sociedad B, he highlights clear corrections: Andorra allowed too much despite the opponent having few chances, and the team couldn’t turn possession and created opportunities into goals. Among the fixes he lists are second-ball situations, intensity in duels, and pressing after losing possession.
A chance vs Sporting
He sees the next home game, against Sporting, as a chance to start the comeback, aiming to “be strong with our people.” Individually, Solozábal says he’s pleased with his minutes and with his adaptation to both the group and the Principality. Even so, he recognizes it’s hard to get used to Second Division football. Still, he dismisses inexperience as an excuse, saying everyone must “take a step forward.” “We must be more united than ever and I’m sure we’ll do it,” Solozábal concludes to MARCA.
