Julián Calero faces the next match with several physical doubts in the squad, although he hopes to recover players in the coming hours. “A bit tight, still with some players in cotton wool. Let's see if we can recover most of them in these 48 hours,” he explained.

The blue coach is committed to analyzing what happened and finding solutions. “We saw things we didn’t like in the first 20 minutes. Also after the sending off,” he noted, before highlighting the team’s stats: “We are among those who have taken the most shots and those who have conceded the fewest.”

Calero calls for perspective and calm despite the start of the season. “Things don’t always start the way you want, I would have liked to start by winning, but we have to be clear about the path. Football never waits,” he stated.

Regarding the possible lineup, he did not rule out changes depending on the available players: “I need to refine the idea I have in mind and see which players I can count on.”

About Albacete, he highlighted their level and the similarities between both teams. “They have a good squad, I think they are somewhat in our situation. In terms of confidence, it might not be the best match for either team; it’s going to be a tough game.” A match, however, that Calero approaches with the intention of Oviedo taking a step forward and finding the path to a good version of themselves.
