The Albacete has sunk in the standings after conceding this Sunday the fourth consecutive defeat – lost 2-0 to the Malaga– which keeps him last in the Second Division classification and seven points from the permanence zone.
The numbers are being more elusive than the game, but the truth is that the main check of Achilles, his lack of goal, is taking its toll on the decisive stretch of the league competition.
The La Mancha team is the team that has achieved the fewest goals in the silver category of Spanish football, accumulating 21 goals in thirty-four days that have been insufficient to enjoy a more privileged position in the table.
Likewise, in the last four league events he has only been able to score a goal to, on the contrary, receive eight goals that have contributed to the fact that in the Albacete environment the descent to the bronze category is already taken for granted, that the season that is coming will be known as 1st RFEF.
His coach, Alejandro Menéndez, very questioned after the most recent results, acknowledged yesterday at the press conference after the match that the defeat “hurts everyone a lot” and that it left them “crushed”, although he also encouraged them not to stop here . “We must continue and try to the end.”
The Asturian coach admitted that his team “the defeats of the previous week have taken their toll when they deserved to win” and pointed out that the change in dynamics involves “improving the mental aspect, because right now that is more important than the legs” , concrete.
