This Cordoba team has a hard time scoring a goal and therefore winning. It let slip two clear points against Malaga at El Arcángel after monopolize the match with multiple opportunities and arrivals of all kinds. However, he was unable to make the most of any of his additions in the rival area. Another point that little is known about watching the game. The positive: the team showed much more than last day on the Elche pitch.
Iván Ania surprised with the ownership of Isma Ruiz, who reappears after her injury. The Granada midfielder who will partner Álex Sala makes his debut as a Blanquiverde. It will not be the only novelty in the eleven. Lapeña returned after his expulsionwith Marvel at his side in another unprecedented powerhouse pairing. With the loss of Adilson, Ander Yoldi took his place as the starter.
The Portuguese winger was absent after undergoing nose surgery. He did not train during the week with his teammates and is excluded from the group. The Archangel also had a luxury guest: Zinedine Zidane With his wife, he was able to enjoy the match of Cordoba, his son Théo’s new team.
Córdoba quickly showed that he would continue to bet, at least for a while, on his plan A, that of Iván Ania: ball control and presence in the areas. The first half clarified this idea, with a much more recognizable team. In part, thanks to the work of Isma Ruiz in the center of the field, he improved Álex Sala, who tried with a frivolity of Vaseline to almost surprise Alfonso Herrero.
Frivolity of Álex Sala who wanted to surprise Alfonso Herrero with Vaseline. A lot of presence of Córdoba in the rival area. Jacobo also tried with an acrobatic shot and Carracedo followed with a low shot from the edge of the area. Without success. Other long ball looking for Antonio Casaswho decided to finish with a powerful but distant shot that went to the right of the goal. They did not forget the set piece, Jacobo himself had an opportunity and an unforced error, he looked for the rival team, but the ball went high.
Córdoba had several arrivals, but they were not free in defense either. Iván Ania’s team worked hard in their area with a good Marvel, who sets the bar high for the left-footed central defender. He recovered the ball on several occasions because Malaga, despite not having control, created danger thanks to the quality of their players.
In the Malaga area, another powerful strike from Álex Sala in a dangerous arrival for Córdoba. The team wanted to finish the plays and test Alfonso Herrero. A totally different version of the Elche game, but it was necessary to take a step forward to break through the rival goal. Córdoba wanted to make the most of the wings with crosses from a Carracedo finer than normal. It was not a brilliant first half and the clearest chances did not present themselves, but the team showed a different team, which they needed.
Córdoba stepped up a gear early in the second half. Antonio Casas was the first to warn with a dangerous play by the team. He found himself alone in front of the goalkeeper, but he made the wrong decision and Herrero saved. The action was invalidated for offside. Iván Ania’s team, which seemed superior in the match, pushed. A good combination on the right of Carracedo and Jacobowhich ended with the Madrid player shooting over the top. After that, the best part of the game came.
A good green and white game, which ended with the Rambleño, almost on the goal line, heading the ball out. It also came to him another center of a great Carracedobut the Rambleño narrowly missed out. Cordoba insisted that they wanted to take the lead as early as possible and make the game difficult for a somewhat affected Malaga. Twenty minutes from the end, Cordoba had another good chance thanks to a low cross from Carracedo, which Yoldi took from the edge of the area, but which crashed into the defense.
Until there was a quarter of an hour left, Iván Ania did not move from the bench. He gave access to Jude Soonsup Bellwho received a standing ovation from the El Arcángel crowd for his debut. He is one of the great hopes of Cordobanism and the greatest bet of sports management. Cordoba pushed even more because they had them of all colors. Another arrival of Carracedo on the wing that Casas could not reach. They were the last minutes of the Rambleño game since the Asturian coach decided to bring on Genaro and Theo Zidane, leaving Jude Soonsup-Bell as a reference up front. Although he was a little lost in his first minutes.
The team got worse with the changes. It wasn’t the Cordoba of the first half or even the first minutes of the second. Xavi Sintes came on towards the end and established himself as the team’s fifth infiltrating midfielder. Iván Ania likes that position. Even though Cordoba has lowered the levelhe didn’t stop having opportunities. The clearest in the final stretch, a header from Theo Zidane that ended up in the hands of the goalkeeper. Even Malaga managed to surprise at the end with a bad reverse combination from Marvel and Carlos Marín. The group ran away.
