The Strongest aims to regain ground in Montero against in-form Guabirá

After a disappointing 1-2 home defeat to Independiente, The Strongest is shifting its focus to an away game against Guabirá this Saturday. The team has acknowledged fan criticism and is determined to rebound, aiming to secure three points on the road. The club currently sits in sixth place in the standings, with six draws and one loss contributing to their slide.

Pablo Pedraza, a player for The Strongest, expressed the team's self-awareness and commitment to improving. "We are self-critical, we understand the people's complaints, we know they make an effort for the team. We will go to Montero to seek the three units because we are aware of what is at stake from now on," he stated. Pedraza also highlighted the advantage of having a full week to train under coach Antonio Zago, allowing for better implementation of his desired playing style.

Goalkeeper Rodrigo Banegas echoed Pedraza's sentiments, emphasizing the reduced margin for error as the team pursues its objectives. "We are hit by the way we lost and couldn't give the fans any joy. But this continues, there is a full round left to recover, and there is no time for lamenting; we have to lift our heads, and that is done with the attitude we have always shown," Banegas said. He added that the team must adapt quickly to the coach's demands and take responsibility on the field.

The Strongest is currently preparing for the match at their home stadium. Meanwhile, their opponent, Guabirá, is enjoying a strong run of form, remaining undefeated in their last four matches, with three wins and one draw. Guabirá has a solid home record, having lost only once at their stadium this season.
