Without a doubt, one of the great hopes of the green and white fans in this bad start to the championship is the debut of Jude Soonsup-Bell. The exotic recruit from Cordoba this summer has not yet been able to make his debut in the three games played. His versatility in the offensive sector could refresh the team, which has not had much firepower in recent weeks. Is one of the riskiest bets sports management since this is his first experience outside of English football, where he has not competed in the professional categories. In his favor, he has great talent and a huge projection that could give Ania’s team a leap in quality.
The player has already had two chances to wear the green and white. Against Malaga next Saturday, it could be the final although, for now, Iván Ania has not managed to find a place for the young player, who He must acclimatize to Spanish football as soon as possibleto the category and to his own team. He did not play for serious reasons on the second day against Burgos because he had just finished training with the team and had just landed at El Arcángel.
Against Elche, at the Martínez Valero, Jude had the opportunity to play his first minutes, but Iván Ania decided to bet on other players. While the scoreboard reflects an irreversible 2-0, the Asturian coach I decided to go for a double at right backwith Carlos Albarrán and Carlos Isaac playing as wingers. Ania chose this option rather than removing Jude, who can play on the right wing. Additionally, he could have also replaced Adilson on the left or Antonio Casas himself. During his short career, he has also been used as a striker.
His signing has had a great impact among the green and white fans, as he is the only addition on the international market this summer. Furthermore, the club’s CEO, Antonio Fernández Monterrubio, confirmed that “he is a signature supported by Big Data” That is to say, the numbers he is showing and his possible potential can lead him to be important in the green and white team. However, those debuts have not yet taken place to see in action the little jewel of sports management, who has a lot of work ahead of him to acclimatize to another country and new teammates. The language is Jude’s big barrier in his first days in Córdoba.
Iván Ania, when asked about Jude, said that “he is located because he has just arrived and the language is a barrier”. Some colleagues act as translators because when it comes to transmitting something to him, they have to help me. I am also in the process of locating him. A lots of capacity in the areagood shot, coldness in the zone. I think he is a player from whom we will be able to get performances, even if it is not immediate because it is a different climate, a different country. But on the football level, he is very good, the team is improving with his arrival.” All of Ania’s words about him have been praise.
So, when he ran out of minutes in the match against Elche, the alarm bells went off and the uncertainty around the player was activated. Today, only Iván Ania can assess the player’s fitness and his level to compete with his teammates in the Second Division. The fans want to see him make his debut against Malaga at El Arcángel to cling to the last glimmer of hope of a green and white team, exhausted after a chaotic transfer market.
