Iván Ania’s Córdoba returns to what it was last season, but in the Second Division. The victory against Deportivo at El Arcángel excited the fans and showed that the team is growing, especially in defense. He kept his second clean sheet this season in just five days. It was not a good start for the green and white defense, but it is growing as the season progresses. This, added to the good form of Carlos Marín, means that Córdoba counts on defensive solidity, key to be able to score points in a very long category, which will be decided by details.
The Galician team has a squad with great physical power. Players like Lucas Pérez or Yeremay have endangered the green and white goal even though they have clashed with Carlos Marín on several occasions. Marvel has also raised the level, which, together with Lapeña, formed the couple who will be the owner in many games. An aspect that increases the optimism of the fans because the team has shown that it is capable of competing with all the rivals of the Second Division. Cordoba was efficient in its own area, scored and took the first three points of the season.
The improvement has already come from the match against Malaga, where the team showed a completely opposite image to that of Elche. The change of axis of the defense and an extra piece in the center of the field have a lot to do with it. The arrival of Isma Ruiz After his injury, he has allowed the team to gain defensive solidity. His role as a defensive pivot keeps the opposing attackers at a distance, he always knows where to position himself and presses in search of rival mistakes. Iván Ania seems to have found the defensive column of the team that will allow them to climb positions in the standings.
The responsibility for these two clean sheets lies largely with Carlos Marín. The fans were full of praise for the green and white goalkeeper and captain after his performance against Deportivo. The season has started at a good level and looks set to key piece of the Second Division team. He arrived in the Second Federation team and four seasons later he continues to grow until becoming one of the most decisive players in the team. From behind, Córdoba has strengthened its defensive line, which must maintain its level in the coming weeks of the championship.
Goal: Solid at home
The team arrived after a poor start to the championship. A defensive error in their league debut against Mirandés prevented them from adding anything to Anduva. The defensive weakness also played a trick on them against Burgos since an error fifteen minutes from the end and a penalty later changed the course of a dominated match. The third day in Elche was an absurdity of defensive errors. However, against Malaga, the team started a positive dynamic in terms of its defense, which must be a virtue to survive in the category. Now, your mission is to be efficient in your field, but as a visitor as well.
The team returns to work tomorrow to prepare for the duel against Huesca in El Alcoraz. For now, the best version of the Blanquiverdes has arrived home in El Arcángel. In Iván Ania’s notebook, as a pending task, it is about putting together a team that is also recognizable at home. For now, he seems to have found the players that allow him step forward be more energetic in one’s own field and thus make fewer mistakes because mistakes are penalized with goals and points.
