El CD Dénia Fell in front of Eldense CD by 0 to 1 in the first serious preseason trial for the men he heads Juan Carlos Signes. This clash disputed in Olive nova, started 20 minutes later due to the lack of a referee. The refereeing trio designated for this match was at the start of the match, but Villarreal B-Algarve, who had no collegiate, was playing on the attached field. Then the referees went to that match and we had to wait for others to arrive.
Under strong heat, a typical pre-season duel began, with little rhythm and a lack of coupling in both squads. In the set of Marina Alta, we saw a team that proposed the same tactical system that its coach, Juan Carlos Signes, has accustomed us to. A 1-4-4-2, with a defensive line that they formed from the beginning; Céspedes and Gayá on the wing with Keko and Ferrán in the center. In the center of the field; Molina, Jordi, Javi and Renzo. In the vanguard line, Sirerol and Panucci.
With this eleven on the field, CD Dénia, kept possession of the ball before an opponent who pressed hard. The eleven that led, Daniel Ponz, had difficulties to surpass the dianense medullary line. It did not have clear approaches with danger on the frame defended by Maxi.
The best of the groguet set was the defensive safety provided by Keko and Ferran, who played a great match. What still has to improve is the transition of the ball from the midfield to the front. The team lacked fluency when moving the ball, had to go down many meters, Javi, to try to get the ball, when this player was playing in the middle. It lacks a clear driver that connects the game defense and attack.
In the second half there were many changes in both squads and this caused the game to drop many integers. In the CD Dénia all the men had minutes with the only exception of Paco that by problems in the knee was left without playing.
The only goal of the match came through Rubén Solano in the final stretch of the game. A defensive error ended with a strong shot that beat a Tonet that despite touching the ball could not stop him.
In short, we have to make a positive assessment of this meeting and above all, the team has time to continue improving before the start of the competition. The next game for the set of Juan Carlos Signes, will be Saturday 12 August, against La Nucia CF, at 19 hours in Oliva Nova.
