The yellow midfielder positively assessed the work done during the week and highlighted that the team is progressively recovering players: "It's been another week, we recently played against Cádiz, and that helps us see the week more clearly. I see the team doing well, recovering people, little by little the number of players available to help is increasing."

Regarding the keys to the match, Fuster emphasized the importance of controlling the main strengths of the Cádiz team: "Their defense and their wide play could be the keys. Defensively, we have to control those aspects." The player is aware of the difficulty of the setting but also of the ambition with which the team approaches the trip: "This is just starting, we know what it means to go to Cádiz, playing for important points."

The yellow player also analyzed the team's feelings at the start of the season, acknowledging that they have been different depending on the moments of the matches. "The feelings have been mixed; there have been quite good stretches of play and others less so. We are gradually finding those feelings. This is just starting; last year was a bit like this on an individual level as well, and we will improve," he explained.

Fuster also highlighted the importance of recovering players to increase competition within the squad. "During the week, you notice that some teammates are missing. In the end, the more competition there is, with everyone giving their best, the better the team will perform at the weekend," he noted. In this regard, he expressed his confidence in the coaching staff's work and the group's progress: "In these last two games, we haven't been ourselves 100%. I've worked with Rubén in previous seasons, and I know this will flow; I'm very calm."

The midfielder also referred to the last match against CD Leganés and the difficulties the team faced in creating chances: "In this last game, it was harder for us to create more scoring opportunities; Leganés was better at times. In the end, it was 0-0, and you leave with a bad feeling, but we shouldn't worry about our attack."

In this regard, Fuster believes that the different offensive alternatives will be crucial to making the team harder to defend against: "The variations are what will make us unpredictable. I hope those who play on Saturday have the best game possible and help us win."

Regarding the squad's situation, he downplayed the absences typical of the early stages of the season: "We would love to have everyone in the best possible shape, but it's normal at the start of the season." He also highlighted the results achieved so far: "We've won two games, lost one, and drawn another. It's true that the last game or the last two don't leave a good taste in your mouth, but there's no need to panic. We're in matchday 5."

With the visit to Cádiz on the horizon, Fuster reiterated the team's ambition: "We're playing against a good opponent in a tough stadium where we want to and are going to win. The team is very calm."
