Mehdi Nafti Prepares Ponferradina for Second Play‑off Tie

Mehdi Nafti, coach of SD Ponferradina, readies his side for the second leg of the promotion play‑off against Atlético Madrileño, the reserve team of Atlético de Madrid. The encounter follows a first‑leg clash a week earlier.

Nafti stresses that Ponferradina will match the intensity displayed in the León fixture. He expects his players to keep the "hot heart and cold head" approach.

The two‑match series decides which club ascends to the higher division. Both sides will travel to the opposite venue for the decisive game.

Ponferradina aims to replicate the performance that earned them a narrow advantage in the first leg. Nafti anticipates a tightly contested battle.
