Córdoba remains undefeated at El Arcángel, but in its last two home matches it has failed to get beyond a draw. This forces him to score points in one of his two consecutive outings this week: Almeria and Gijón. Relegation is already looming for Córdoba, which has one game less than its rivals. This week, he will catch up and compete for the ranking on equal terms. The season is getting complicated for the green and white team three months later begins the competition and Córdoba continues to suffer from the defensive errors that penalize them as visitors.
Dépor Gijón Table
In this situation, Córdoba depends on itself to get out of relegation. This Tuesday they will make up for a postponed match with Almería, which will not be easy since the green and white team faces one of the big favorites of the competition. In addition, the team is physically demanding because there is little time between the visit to Zaragoza and the trip to Almería. In the press room, Iván Ania said that after the home match, “physically, we are exhausted at the momentbut we have to recover to arrive in Almería and play the match. “We hope to win it, although we know it won’t be easy.”
It is a big challenge for Córdoba, who will face a complicated week since they will have to travel to Gijón next Sunday to face Sporting. Another rival from the upper zone with whom he will have to score points to prevent the terrible results at home from weighing him down to the point of falling into relegation at the end of the first round. The schedule is tough in this section for Córdoba, which, by the end of the year, will only host one team behind in the standings: Tenerife. At least it will be in El Arcángel on December 8.
Among the outstanding issues, Cordoba must match the intensity he displays when he enters his stadium and when he does so outside. The team has the ability to react, as it has already demonstrated against Castellón and now against Zaragoza. During both meetings, he had to return even though I couldn’t complete the feat with a victory. However, outside the home, this ability to react diminishes until it disappears. In Cádiz, despite multiple chances, he failed to score and left without the three points due to two isolated actions, preceded by defensive errors which are not lacking either in home matches, but which penalize less.
Córdoba no longer has a lead available to exit the bottom four teams with home results. After the away results, Córdoba almost won at home, but this time they received a rival from the upper zone, an obvious contender for promotion. Until then, she had only received direct rivals, to whom she was superior in play and results. Even though he did not win against Zaragoza, the green and white coach admitted that “this point not what we were looking forbut it’s an equality that doesn’t matter to me. We were able to react twice and the team wanted it. “We need this final decision to bring us closer to victory.” However, this improvement should come this week as a visitor: in Almería and Gijón.
