Albelda: “We can’t afford to underestimate Atlético Sanluqueño”
Villarreal B head coach David Albelda spoke to the media on Friday to preview the Matchday 11 game of the Primera Federación against Atlético Sanluqueño. The match will take place this Sunday at 8:30pm CET at the Mini Estadi, José Manuel Llaneza Training Ground.
Reflecting on the reserve team’s recent win, Albelda said, “We come off the back of a win at a difficult ground, and now we see things differently. It helps us climb up the table. Now we want to build on that with another victory. We’re playing at home and we want to win.”

Despite Atlético Sanluqueño earning only one point in their last five matches, Albelda warned against underestimating them: “That makes them even more dangerous. We can’t relax or think it’ll be easy just because of their recent form. If you look at their games, they always create chances. When we went to Cartagena last week, they were the favourites, and we managed to win. In this division, you can’t afford to be overconfident.”
He highlighted their qualities: “They have players of real quality. Offensively, they’re quick and good in one-on-one situations. Defensively, they’re an experienced team who know the league well. That makes them a tough opponent regardless of recent results.”
