COACHES THOUGHTS
George Jermy: “We are really excited to be facing Albacete Balompié tomorrow afternoon.
“After a frustrating season with COVID-19 restrictions - we are thrilled to be finally offering our players the opportunity to take on high-level professional clubs in showcase games once more.
“Albacete are a historical team who compete in the second tier of Spanish football - and are well-known for their successful youth set-up.
“They are famously the first club of Spanish legend Andrés Iniesta - where he was scouted by FC Barcelona at the age of twelve.
“The clash should provide a great test for both teams - and I know everybody is determined to give their all and put in a performance we can be proud of."
