Borja Iglesias once again goes through a period of doubts in Heliópolis. He turned them off when his start to 2021 reflected numbers for hope and pushed them back when he now signs only one goal in his last seven games. The figure of the Galician nine seems indisputable for Manuel Pellegrini, although his last commitments on the pitch invite the alarms to be present again. In less than a month, he changed his best streak as a Verdiblanco for another scoring crisis that threatens the team in the middle of the fight for European places.
Borja looks at the closing of the League with the illusion of being important and recovering the scoring nose that he did show a month ago, when he even chained seven goals in seven games. There he recovered his smile after a year and a half of ups and downs in the Verdiblanco team. He has all the confidence of the coach, but both Loren Morón and Juanmi are already knocking on the door to take over from a forward that did not find any hint of a hit in the last six days, all of them closed with insufficient tables.

Pellegrini pulled off merits in much of the season and perhaps that is why he will bet on the rotations in this next match against Granada. Borja Iglesias, meanwhile, challenges his numbers and a closing campaign full of unknowns. He has more ballots than any other attacker to be chosen in the appointments that remain to close the course, but in Heliópolis they sigh for his goals knowing that his best scoring moment coincided with the best streak of the team.
