A bipolar Espanyol draws in Cádiz with a splendid Joselu

  • Diego Martínez sacrificed Álvaro under the sticks, but the curse of the goal continued with a blunder by Lecomte at 1-0. Two goals from the striker turned a clash that ended in a draw.

The Spanish lives immersed in a recurring contrast between the two areas. While the goalkeeper curse it prolongs without remedy, in attack it has found a life insurance. Two more goals from Joseluwho has scored six goals in eight games, avoided the Blue and Whites’ defeat in Cádiz (2-2) in a match very similar to that of the previous day against Valenciaboth in the marker and in development.

The first great unknown was resolved an hour before the crash. Diego Martínez opted for Lecomte instead of Álvaro, sacrificed after his incredible mistake in Cornellà, but the Frenchman was not lucky either. Three times he threw Cádiz on goal and two ended up inside, including the 1-0 after a disastrous start. On the opposite side, Ledesma He saved his team several times. He has a serious problem with Espanyol in the goal. Little remains for the technician to prove, beyond John Garcia. The mythical Nkono you will be puzzled.

novelty extremes

counted Sergio Gonzalez in the previous one that it would be good to test Álvaro, who could be nervous after his last sung. The Cádiz players could not fulfill that mission, who found Lecomte under sticks. It was not the only novelty of Diego Martínez, which he repeated with lime on the right side and changed to its two extremes: Aleix Vidal and Melamed entered instead of handfulalternate, and Braithwaitesanctioned.

Diego Martinez / Coach of Espanyol

There was little offensive news from Espanyol in a first part in which Cádiz was better as combative as ineffective. No one was surprised that he only had one goal in seven days. The first perica approach was a poisoned center of Melamed who was close to surprising Ledesma in a play similar to the one that condemned Álvaro against Valencia (m. 34). It was the last action of the youth squad, who left his position to Puado due to some inconvenience.

new drama

The party passed by the way of the tedium and inaccuracies until a new drama for the blue and whites. In a team with few offensive arguments like Cádiz, any set piece action worth gold, especially with Luis Hernandez in their ranks. The center back, in addition to being a great header, is a cannon on throw-ins.

The defender’s mile-long shot surprised Lecomte, who went out for grapes. The rebounds left the ball in the boots of chust, the other center-back, who pushed into the net. One more move for the collection of “anomalous situations” that so unnerves the parakeet coach.
