Unicaja Costa de Almería host Conqueridor Valencia on Saturday, November 14 at Moisés Ruiz, a rival their middle blocker Fernando Fernández describes as a «total» team that «will be up there fighting for things». The player from Seville admits he is still not at one hundred percent after his injury: «I have better days, worse days, but more good than bad now». His contribution, he explains, is now mainly in blocking, where his knee bothers him less, and in giving the team calm. The attack, he admits, is «the pending subject». Fernández believes Unicaja's problem is competitive: «During the week you see a good level of volleyball in training, but in the competitive phase we have to take a little step that is costing us». About the last match, against Cisneros, he recalls that the team came to be 11-15 in the first set: «We are also our own worst enemies». Of Valencia he highlights that it is a project with one of the highest budgets in the category, with two opposites and four middle blockers, and he names players such as Gustavo Romaní, Manu Furtado and Luis Vidal. Even so, he insists: «We can compete with anyone».
