How Óscar Díaz became a forward on the La Liga Show Adelante

There are versatile players, those with that natural-born ability and who are able to adapt to the demands laid upon them over time. This week we get up close and personal with Real Valladolid striker Óscar Díaz, who tells us about how he redressed his approach to his position at Lugo and lets us know his thoughts about the current season in which his team have set their sights high with the aim of getting promoted.

Level on points with the Castile and León side are Real Sporting, who have a tough trip to El Toralín ahead. SD Ponferradina will be looking to hold onto their play-off spot against the Asturian outfit in what is sure to be a thrilling clash with more than just three points at stake. Manolo Díaz, Yuri, Pablo Infante, Abelardo and Lora will keep us posted about each team during the pre-game build-up in the Fixture of the Matchday.

The weekend is chock full of interesting matches. In The Rest of the Matchday section we will be hearing the thoughts of managers like Jan Urban and Carlos Terrazas, as well as Alfredo Ortuño's initial feelings on the back of his UD Las Palmas debut.

There will also be new Ink in La Liga and Test segments. Iker Guarrotxena, one of CD Tenerife’s forward men, answers some personal questions, while CD Leganés's Rubén Peña recounts his wonderful family story and explains what inspired him to get tattooed.

On top of that, we will be closing the curtain on January by selecting the month's best goals and saves. The 5 best goals come courtesy of Diego Ifrán, Àlex Granell, Daniel Toribio, Jonathan Pereira and Javi Hervás. As for the men between the sticks, Razak Brimah, Fran Dorronsoro, Iván Cuéllar, Casto Espinosa and Munir, will be featured in The 5 best saves.
