Córdoba entered a dangerous spiral in the home stretch of the first round of the competition given its poor away performance (1 point out of 24). The winter transfer market therefore opens as the team’s great hope of changing dynamics. From the next January 2 and until February 3Córdoba has a little over a month to change the face of a team that has entered a phase of nervousness because it finds itself unable to compete and win away from home. The club has decided that at least it will be reinforced in January.
As ABC has learned from Blanquiverde club sources, Cordoba will go to the transfer market. That is to say that there will be signings yes or yes. The team needs him because already during the summer market the club was negotiating at the last minute for a third striker, which they will have to look for within a month. The sports management is aware that there are positions in the squad that need to be strengthened because, after the start of the league, the feelings are not positive. Especially away, where the team established itself as the worst in the category.
It won’t be easy for Cordoba as the winter market is not particularly good for the club. Córdoba needs players who give immediate performances because the competition does not stop and there is no pre-season for the players to get into physical shape and assimilate the coach’s concepts. In this case, those of Iván Ania and his style so defined. In the winter market, players with a slow pace of play and who have been unemployed for some time are normally available. It is now the task of the sports commission with Antonio Fernández Monterrubio, Juanito and Raúl Cámara. And the help of César Sánchez, the right arm of the green and white CEO.
Although the transfer market is already being talked about openly, there is still more than a month before it opens. Córdoba still have six matches ahead of them to complete the first round, which could even leave Iván Ania’s side in an even worse situation. They must visit Sporting de Gijón, Levante Oviedo in addition to receiving Tenerife and Eibar at El Arcángel. Fifteen extra points in which some players can try to show their best version to change the opinion of the technical staff. Fifteen points that can leave you in a more comfortable position or in relegation.
After the defeat suffered in Almería, Iván Ania confirmed that “it’s not an attitude problem, with C” And already during the press conference preceding the meeting, he assured that “we obviously have to strengthen ourselves.” The team’s performance today is not what the sports management expected and the Asturian coach failed to get the most out of it with his predetermined style. Yes, he succeeded at El Arcángel, but outside the team is collapsing and that is why the transfer market appears as a hope of resurgence.
So far, the winter market has not gone well in Córdoba in recent years. For Monterrubio, it will be his second January at the head of the Cordoba club. Last year the club had to go to market after Gudelj left. and brought Martínez. However, this barely made an impact in the second round of the season and the promotion play-offs. His physical problems, which he continues to this day, do not allow him to stand out in the squad. Arriving in Córdoba in January, Álvaro Leiva also did not find a place in the team and went unnoticed during the six months he wore the green and white jersey.
