Hércules will only strengthen with a U23 player in the remaining three days of the transfer window (the deadline is Monday, February 3). The blue and white coach, Rubén Torrecilla, has ruled out further signings of players over 23, meaning there will be no more departures as all slots are filled. The coach and technical secretary, Paco Peña, continue to scour the market for a defensive midfielder, and if found, Franck Angong, who has realized he is not in Torrecilla's plans during the first half of the season, would leave.

"Either a U23 joins or we stay as we are. The important thing was to cover the needs we had, and we have done so with the signings of Yanis (forward) and Arumí (left-back). Both have been training with the group since Wednesday and are ready to have minutes on Sunday," confirmed Torrecilla.

The Hércules coach stated that his team, third in their Primera Federación group, is in a position to achieve "everything," referring to promotion, but emphasized that they remain "grounded."

"We are not looking beyond the next match against Yeclano," said the coach, adding that the Murcia team "may not have the name or squad of other rivals, but they are a team of quality."

In this regard, the coach recalled that Yeclano has achieved several decisive and important victories away from home. "They compete well, with tight lines and high pressure. It will be tough and challenging, and we will have to work hard to win the match," summarized the coach from Cáceres.

Torrecilla expressed his displeasure with the match's timing, 3:30 p.m., as he indicated that it "completely disrupts the day. I don't like it at all; breakfast merges with lunch, but we have to adapt. I also feel very sorry for our fans," he added.

The Hércules coach praised the trajectory of Antequera, the standout leader of the category, but reminded that all teams "go through bad spells." "We must be prepared for when that moment arrives," emphasized the coach, highlighting the difficulty of a category where all teams "want to be in pole position for promotion."

Torrecilla admitted that the victory in Marbella last matchday has lifted "a weight off the team's shoulders" and is confident in the fans' response at Rico Pérez, despite the 3:30 p.m. timing being particularly unfavorable.
