Without a doubt, Córdoba improved in the fourth day of the championship compared to its first games, especially the last one in Elche. With Malaga, the green and white team played one of its most complete games of the season, leaving similar feelings last season in the First Federation, but in the silver category, professional football. However, despite the superiority and multiple arrivals, the team blames the lack of goals. Sometimes they won by a landslide, but the scoreboard reflected a final 0-0. This is the biggest task of Iván Ania’s team. The team must strengthen the offensive sector.
As we saw in the match against Malaga on the last day, the team did many things well and deserved to take the three points, but the decision-making in the rival area was not the best. The green and white attackers were not in good shape because they need many arrivals to score a goal. The statistics clearly reflect this. Cordoba He made 16 shots during the match for the 3 made by Sergio Pellicer’s team. Although he was clearly superior, he failed to score a goal and his effectiveness was clearly indicated for the next matches.
In four games played, Córdoba has remained goalless on two occasions. Against Mirandés in the first game and with Malaga. Two similar encounters. In Anduva, the team generated more than its rival, but failed to find the back of the net and the red team took advantage of the clearest opportunity it had to take the three points. It was even more superior against Malaga and it did not take advantage of it either. In Martínez Valero with Elche, the green and white team barely had the opportunity to approach the rival area even though it scored the goal of honor thanks to Casas. And with Burgos, took advantage of two rival errors to score the goals that marked the final draw.
Antonio Casas, the leader
In this category, any mistake in your own area or that of your rival is penalized. Cordoba must therefore improve its efficiency to achieve its first victory of the season. It is in the hands of Antonio Casas, the striker a priori starting for Iván Ania this season. For now, Ramble striker has two goals in four games. One against Burgos and another against Elche. He has a goal in his boots even if he has trouble getting going. With Malaga he did a good job, but he had several clear goal-scoring opportunities that he didn’t take advantage of. A header on the same goal line that he had launched and a shot that just missed after a good cross from Carracedo. It wasn’t good and the team suffers when that happens.
Next on the list is Obolskii, who has also not started the season well. The Russian striker signed in the summer after a great season in the First Federation with Ibiza. However, he has not yet managed to adapt to Iván Ania’s style. He has not scored and has not had many minutes to do so. Although he started the first match against Mirandés, its importance has been reduced until he replaced Antonio Casas. His profile is different from that of Rambleño, who even resembles Alberto Toril. A tall forward, winner of duels and very competent in the aerial game.
The sports management was ultimately unable to recruit a third striker in the final part of the market, so all hopes are placed on Jude Soonsup-Bell. The English footballer, of Thai origin, is among the other strikers on the board of directors. However, still needs an acclimatization period Because he has no experience outside of English football and the language barrier continues to weigh when he communicates with the green and white coach. His development could also release the green and white gunpowder, which is now damp.
In this sense, and given the current situation of the team, the second line of attack must take center stage. In midfield, there are players like Jacobo González or Ander Yoldi This can be added to the team’s scoreboard. The Navarrese player already knows what it means to score with the green and white. In addition, the wingers, with Carracedo and Adilson in attack, can also add goals to Córdoba that needs them. The next opportunity will be against Deportivo de La Coruña next Friday at El Arcángel, fifth day of the championship.
