ZARAGOZA VS CORDOBA
It usually gets a bit clichéd when new coaches come in and make their first statements. Gabi Fernandez, who has taken over Zaragoza, has however come in with an unusually high swagger: "I know what it takes to get this in order, I am good at squeezing the best out of every player, and now it’s time to make La Romareda a fortress again – home performance is not just important, it is absolutely vital."
They have averaged 5.07 corners per home match so far – and that’s despite often being quite conservative. Gabi has been clear that he wants to see a more forward-leaning team that dares to assert itself.
