Sabadell has put defense center stage in its season opener, becoming one of the most solid teams in the competition. With only seven goals conceded in the first nine games, the Harlequinado club is among the best in the defensive table, surpassed only by Almería, Castellón and Mallorca, although these teams occupy higher positions in the general classification. The defensive strength has allowed Sabadell to maintain four games without conceding a goal and only lose one, against Mallorca in Son Moix, which has boosted its rise to privileged positions in the table.
The consistency of the defensive line is due to the presence of key players who have started in all games. Óscar Sanz has been the pillar of the team, alternating between right back and center, and has also contributed in attack with a goal against Real Oviedo. Miki Codina has been the undisputed left back, actively participating in play creation and in the attacking lanes. Edgar González, a veteran with experience in the First and Second Division, has been fundamental in the defensive organization and has scored a goal against Celta Fortuna, although his availability was affected by an expulsion and an injury that will leave him absent in the next match against Tenerife.
The defensive fourth spot has seen more rotations. Bonaldo suffered a toe injury that kept him off the field for four games, and although he returned to the squad after the match with Andorra, he did not play. In his absence, José Luis Català took on a more prominent role, making four starting appearances and five entries off the bench, contributing significantly to the team's performance. Eneko Aguilar, wearing number 12, has had the opportunity to start only in the match against Andorra, but has been a key substitute in the other matches, showing commitment and energy when given the opportunity.
Sabadell's defensive solidity is not only reflected in the number of goals conceded, but also in the way the team remains united and disciplined. The cohesion between the players, both starters and substitutes, has allowed the team to maintain a high level of performance in each match. The collective commitment and the players' ability to adapt have been decisive factors in achieving these good results in the first days of the season.
With the season still in its beginnings, Sabadell seeks to consolidate its position in the table and continue taking advantage of the defensive strength it has shown. The upcoming games will be crucial to maintaining momentum, especially against teams looking to improve their own defense. The Harlequin club, with its collective approach and solid defense, presents itself as a serious competitor in the fight for qualifying positions and permanence in the category.
