Ibiza redirects its course with Jémez

The arrival of Paco Jémez to the UD Ibiza bench has meant that the celestial team redirects its course and deliver a more reliable feel again. The victory against Fuenlabrada (1-2) meant an important oxygen ball for the Celestes, who at one stroke recovered their scoring nose and also the path to victory. As the technician said at a press conference, who made his debut on the bench of the Balearic Islands, They hadn’t done anything, but it was a good start to change the bad dynamics that their Ibiza had entered.

The Ibizan team ended a streak of almost two months without winning. Because his last victory, before the one achieved this Sunday at the Fernando Torres stadium, It went back to last November 7, when Ibiza beat Real Sociedad B at home. Seven days later the Pitiusans returned to celebrate a triumph that they already needed.

Also, to win you need to score goals. In the six previous games, Ibiza had only scored one goal. Yesterday however in 73 minutes he achieved two. A somewhat more electric team was seen in attack and more vertical. It is the fifth time that Ibiza has scored at least two goals in a match. In all of them he won or drew. Only in one clash did the Pitiusos achieve more than two goals. It was precisely in the first round against Fuenlabrada, who they beat 3-1 at Can Misses.

But yesterday’s was an especially important triumph since Ibiza already opens a gap of eight points with respect to the relegation places. A line that marks precisely the Amorebieta and the Fuenlabrada. Almost three rental parties are an important cushion for the block of Paco Jémez, who continues six points from the ‘playoff’ of promotion to First. However, we must not forget that the great objective is permanence.

Recover Players

Another challenge for the new coach is to recover players called to be fundamental and who with Juan Carlos Carcedo were not performing. as expected. One of them was Pape Diop, who started against Fuenlabrada and had a great performance in the center of the field playing as a pivot. Own Jemez praised the work of the Senegalese, who has a great experience in Spanish professional football but did not count for the previous coach, Juan Carlos Carcedo placeholder image.

The clash against Fuenlabrada left several more details. For example, that the goalkeeper Álex Domínguez played his first league match with Ibiza. Until now his role had been that of a substitute for German Parreño and its protagonism was only centered in the Glass of the King. We will see if Jémez now gives him ownership in LaLiga SmartBank ahead of Germán. In the first shock of the year 2022 he scratched at a great height and had interventions of great merit, such as a great stop to a shot from Carpets when the Madrid goal was sung. He supported his team when he most needed it.

On the other hand, the striker Davo scored his first goal in the Second Division. It was special because it meant victory against Fuenlabrada. The attacker had already scored in the Copa del Rey, but it had not yet been released in the domestic championship. It may have been a turning point for a I gave which has a lot of quality.
