He Cordoba CF and Cordobanism have officially entered a state of “nervousness”. The 4-0 conceded by the team and the disastrous image of the team in the second half of the postponed match against Almería this Tuesday ended up activating to the maximum the alerts which, almost since the start of the season, were showing signs of concern.
He crossfire started at El Arcángel, especially in the locker room due to the wave of criticism about his game and his results, mainly at home and which call into question the achievement of the objective of the season: permanence in the Second Division. Reproaches began to gain ground at all levels of the club. All actors have reasons to defend their positions, but they all demonstrate notable internal turmoil.
The CEO, the coach, the captain and the supporters have already named those responsible for this situation. The problem is compounded by a schedule by the end of the year, which extends until the end of the first round, which does not invite optimism about Córdoba’s ability to exit the tournament . decline which he now occupies for the third time in 16 days.
Mistakes continually occur at home, where the team has added just one point from a possible 24 in eight games.
He First of all The CEO of Córdoba CF opened the box of thunder. HASAntonio Fernández Monterrubio He pointed at the referees. More precisely, to VAR. The club even filed an official complaint with the arbitration institution regarding the arbitration against Cadiz. This was the final straw in a series of unfavorable decisions that did not benefit the team on the field. Whether the complaints are justified or not, the truth is that blaming the referees for the situation, while partly reasonable, is pure reductionism.
Ania explodes
He second It was the coach who exploded. Ivan Ania He has always been very sincere and he continues to be so now that the wind is blowing against him, even if his words begin to sound more like a cry for help. Another proof of the inner nervousness about the situation. The coach, before the match against Almería, asked for reinforcements to compete for permanence. Questioned by journalists, he stressed that “obviously” Córdoba had to sign this winter if he wanted to achieve his goal. With more than a month left to open the melon market, Ania actually launched a SOS. He is aware that the team’s performance cannot always be above its real possibilities, as is the case at home. In fact, he said that “everyone knows where we need to strengthen,” even though “that’s not my job.”
In his line of sincerity, the Asturian coach made it clear to Almería that he did not want to be swallowed up by his team’s mistakes. For this reason, he directly highlighted the quality of many of his players to explain what happens to the away team, where they only added one point out of 24 possible. Anna He commented after the victory at Almeria, which adds to those of Elche and Huesca, that the problem of some of his players “is not an attitude with a ‘C'”, suggesting, without explicitly naming it, that it is a problem of aptitude. A direct blow to the lack of quality of certain members of the squad to compete in the Second Division with guarantees.
He did not directly link it, but it seems that the central defenders, notably Martínez and Marvel, are more than identified: “It is a case, for me, inexplicable, that I always have to make a change in a defender central; “I don’t know if it’s the fourth, fifth or sixth (time), but it’s a change that totally conditions you.”
He changing room He also raised his voice. He did this through the staff spokesperson. He Captain of Córdoba, Carlos Maríncame forward on Tuesday to explain what happened, but also to demand decisions from the club’s leaders. The green and white goalkeeper stressed that “we have to be self-critical” and that “there is a winter market very close and this can be the solution”, he commented, because “the reality is that it doesn’t work for us, far from home, it doesn’t work for us”, for whom he invited the club’s leaders to “have to make decisions”. The locker room itself is asking for signings to get out of relegation. Rarely seen. Another sign of nervousness.
As obvious as, week after week, it is said that the errors committed a few days ago will not be repeated. An example of this situation of obvious tension on the pitch is Álex Sala. Since losing his starting place due to suspension, he has no longer been able to be the decisive player at the start of the season. He has received three yellow cards in just three moments in the last three matches. Two of them without the ball even being in play.
The schedule to complete the first round: Sporting, Tenerife, Levante, Eibar and Real Oviedo
He nervousness also permeated the husbandwhich finds no explanation for the change in the team’s performance both home and away. He pulls the cart home, but he is helpless as a visitor. The humiliations as a foreigner in Almería, Elche and Huesca did a lot of damage. The team has added just one point in eight visits. He is by far the worst visitor in the category. Unsustainable to save him with his status at El Arcángel.
He Cordoba CF They are in the relegation position, with 17 points and tied with Deportivo, who are outside them. December is billed as survival month. He calendarHowever, this adds another point of unease to the whole of Cordobaism. They have five very complicated matches left to reach 25 which seem to be half of the 50 necessary for salvation. They just need to receive Tenerife from the lower zone. The rest will be made up of teams from the first half of the table. They must visit Sporting de Gijón, Levante and Oviedo and receive Eibar.
