The team from Telde will host Elche this Sunday, May 3rd, at 12:30 PM (Canarian time) in what is shaping up to be one of the most important matches of the season. Following their 24-19 defeat in the first leg, the club is calling on its fans to fill the stands and create an atmosphere that will drive the comeback.
“"Five goals is not a short advantage, but neither is it a long one in 60 minutes. If we go goal by goal, take advantage of our good moments and the push from our people, we can repeat a great feat in our pavilion."
The coach of Rocasa Gran Canaria has emphasized the importance of public support, noting that the fans will play a key emotional and pressure-related role. Tactically, the keys involve improving offensive efficiency, being more vertical in spaces, and maintaining the defensive work that has characterized the team throughout the season.
Meanwhile, one of the team's players highlighted the need to correct errors from the first leg, especially ball losses that penalized the team. The goalkeeper also stressed the importance of home advantage and confidence in the fans to turn the tie around.
“"The key is to be ourselves. Throughout the season, we have shown that, by being clear about what we do, we can go very far."
The team relies on its identity and the support of its people to overcome the challenge, recalling the comeback achieved two years ago in the EHF European League quarter-finals against KH7 Granollers. On that occasion, Rocasa Gran Canaria overcame a ten-goal deficit, demonstrating their ability to achieve great feats with the backing of their fans.
