Within the Cordoba team there are players who have not yet demonstrated the level assumed by their previous experience. One of these names is Jacobo. An irreplaceable actor in Iván Ania’s projects, whose role diminished as the season progressed. However, it’s not differential for the green and white team, which must raise the bar, especially during away matches. He is one of the most experienced players in the Second Division and should emerge as the leader of a young and untested team.
The last transfer market arrived as one of the great bets of the sports management, since it came from the regularity in the Second Division and the experience in professional football. His first match against Mirandés left good feelings, although He didn’t see the point. He scored his first and so far only goal as Blanquiverde on matchday eight against Albacete away, a month and a half into the championship. His only assist came on Matchday 10, against Cartagena at El Arcángel.
It won’t be because of opportunities since he has started 12 of the 15 matches played so far. He lost one to injury and two to suspension. He saw an avoidable red card against Santander which left him without playing for two weeks, against Eldense and Castellón. The referee indicated in the match report that Jacobo González “was sent off for the following reason for addressing him in the following terms: ‘You are very bad.'” In recent days, his offensive contribution has summer rare, thick the last meters like the rest of the team.
When he arrived in Cordoba, the player’s experience in professional football was undeniable. He has played more than 80 matches in the second division and even made his first division debut with Celta in the 2019-2020 season. He arrived free, coming from Alcorcón with whom he played in the Second Division. He played 38 matches (most of the season), allowing five goals and three assists. For the moment, with a third of the competition completed, he is not close to his best figures in the category.
Without a doubt, one of the great virtues of Jacobo González is his magnificent ball striking, a highlight of his career. Alcorcón stage. However, despite some dangerous chances in some matches, the goal doesn’t help. The set piece isn’t working for Córdoba either and they have some issues when it comes to taking (or defending) the set piece. Iván Ania used him as a left winger although his most defended position was as a midfielder. During the game his position changed depending on the rival.
After a gray start during his first weeks as a green and white player, the Madrid striker seems to have settled into the club with a goal against Albacete which saves the draw. It wasn’t his best match in Albacete either. He even barely participated in the team’s play. He tried, but it didn’t appear until the 80th minute. 1-0 on the scoreboard, He fired a huge left-footed shot from the front and almost halfway to tie the game at the Carlos Belmonte.
