The negative and subsequent return of Choco Lozano to Cádiz allows Álvaro Cervera to breathe, although as the coach himself confirmed at a press conference, the Honduran will not travel to Elche. With Negredo on sick leave recovering from his fibrillar tear in the soleus, the yellow technician raises the doubt in the attack. Malbasic or Álvaro Giménez, that's the question. Against Real Sociedad, Malbasic was chosen, although the Serbian did not get the right balls to disturb the goal txuri urdín. Y he ended up being substituted in the 56th minute. Álvaro Giménez, for his part, started the second half and from his boots came one of the only two shots on goal the team made.
The Elche game will be a good touchstone for two players who have not finished settling in Cádiz. Both arrived during the last winter market, but they have not had much continuity. Álvaro Giménez was the most used of the two, with 572 minutes spread over 13 games; while Malbasic enjoyed 237, in seven. The Spanish had 'his moment' with a goal against Rayo, five minutes from the end, to score a valuable point. For his part, the Serbian played his best match with Cádiz on matchday 27, against Las Palmas. In this match he assisted Perea so that he opened the scoring, with a magnificent pass from the right wing.
This season the roles have been swapped and the Serbian is enjoying more minutes (283, for the 97 of the Spanish). Both players have also had a key moment this season in two goals in the form of assists. Álvaro gave Iván Alejo the ball in the tie against Granada, after a Chilean attempt that ended up at the feet of the winger for him to score; and Malbasic assisted Pombo, in the yellow's second goal against Huesca, on the second day of the League.
