Jesé, a hopeful title

It was his time, his time, and the spotlights were on him. It was logical, on the other hand. With the forced casualties of Araujo, by penalty, and Rober even recovering from COVID-19, Pepe Mel had no choice but to force the machine with Jesse at the leading edge and the Lomo Blanco striker did not disappoint returning to an ownership that resisted him since January 27, 2020 with Sporting Lisbon.

Participative, active and hungry. This is how Jesé was seen against Rayo Vallecano from minute one of the game. He looked a lot for his teammates, premiering his yellow spearhead position and positively surprised with great mobility in the search for space, going from less to more as the minutes go by. In fact, all the insular danger, except for Sergio Ruiz's goal went through his boots when, for example, in the first half, crossed the ball before the departure of Dimitrievski, who had to stretch to reject the danger. He lacked a bit of power and angle to his good hitting.

In addition to his flashes in the first part, in which he put together several dangerous counterattacks, until the gasoline lasted, he was heavily involved in defensive tasks, also as one more at the time of protesting the referee in the controversial actions that harmed the yellow and assisted Maikel Mesa in the second half in an action that clearly seemed to be a goal scored until the Tenerife player smashed the goal off the post when everyone sang the UD goal.

Las Palmas cannot be satisfied with this tie, but Jesé's return and his good feelings can be a turning point for a UD that yesterday he pulled with pride to tie a game that seemed lost.
