Córdoba must stop the pessimistic comments about the team’s performance after the first six days. There is no better medicine than a convincing victory against an even needier rival. The green and white team receives Racing de Ferrol today at El Arcángel from 6:30 p.m. Unique opportunity to redeem yourself after the last (and disastrous) match against Huesca. Iván Ania’s team is looking to get back to winning ways and intends to become stronger at home to continue climbing in the silver category.
The team does not arrive with high morale, even if they had a short week to forget the terrible Huesca match. He is coming back from two very solid matches at home against Malaga and Deportivoin which they got their first win and blew it against Huesca. Defensive fragility and own errors condemned the match of the green and white team. Although they dominated their rival in several sections of the duel, they failed to be energetic in the zones. Without this, it will be difficult for them to progress in a Second Division that becomes more difficult every week. As Iván Ania said, all of these aspects “can be trained, except for the individual talent of each player.”
The ranking does not invite optimism either, even if there is still a lot of season to come and this match is part of the seventh day. Both Córdoba and Racing de Ferrol are in relegation positions. For its part, the green and white team has five points (three defeats, two draws and one victory). On the other hand, Racing de Ferrol has not yet won its first victory. The team led by Cristóbal Parralo of Córdoba wants to break the negative dynamic of the Galician team at the expense of a Córdoba with the same objectives in El Arcángel.
Without Martínez, nor Kuki
Additionally, Iván Ania has several sure kills for the match. And some doubts in the air. On the one hand, you will not be able to count on Martinez due to suspensionnor with Kuki Zalazar who is on his way to two months injured. Additionally, Isma Ruiz had to be replaced last week at Huesca due to a knock and the Asturian coach will have to take risks with him. The doubts concern Carlos Isaac and Mati Barboza who have not trained all week with their teammates. Even though there will be several changes in the green and white eleven, Iván Ania declared that there would be no revolution.
Faced with these doubts, Iván Ania must constitute a competitive eleven. There is no doubt in the goal with Carlos Marín who maintains his high level every day. In the back axis, given the doubts, the coach could bet again on Lapeña and Marvel, identified after a bad match in Huesca. On the right side, Carlos Albarrán could regain possession even if he will play with a mask after his nose operation. Calderón will be on the left side for another week. He’s not at his best this season, but there’s no player on the roster who can take his place other than Marvel.
In the double pivot, it seems almost impossible to take ownership away from Isma Ruiz and Álex Sala if they are in top form. Jacobo could move back into midfield to give the team that extra experience they need in the Second Division. However, Ander Yoldi is knocking at the door. The right attacking winger will be that of Carracedo, a regular in the first seven league matches. Left, Adilson could repeat after his goal against Huesca and his verticality when it came to hurting his rival. Up front, Antonio Casas could leave even if Obolskii had good minutes last week to return to the starting lineup.
