Jesé: drought, tantrum and two games to vindicate themselves

The footballer called to make a difference during the last Canarian derby at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López ended his match with very bad fleas: Jesé. Substituted in the 76th minute, when UD was looking for the winning goal, Pepe Mel dispensed with his services and that of Lomo Blanco paid for it with the poster of the collegiate to indicate the changes, but the results are there: six games with the yellows and zero goals that, for the moment, do not justify their return. With the two crashes this week against Lugo and Mallorca, he is presented with two golden occasions that can be great to start taking flight or for, definitely, anxiety to take over your game.

The minutes pass, the games and Jesé Rodríguez, that footballer called to be the key man in the yellow attack, once it got in tune, it does not appear. It took him 15 days to enter the calls to be competitive and everything seemed to indicate that he was on the right track. However, the story is not turning out to be satisfactory for both parties. He tries, fights and fights in every match, but he's having a hard time fitting into Pepe Mel's system and not for lack of desire, since he does not negotiate his commitment during the minutes he is on the field of play.

He started taking minutes against Cartagena, on a placid night for the yellows, who won 2-0. The footballer accumulated 21 minutes and as soon as he entered he tried his luck from outside the area and was seen to be participatory, with another shot with his left leg that came out bitten, after a deep pass, and another time with a dead ball inside the area that failed to finish off properly.

A week later, against Castellón, in a regrettable defeat of the insulares, 4-0, He had 30 minutes. I try again, as soon as he entered and, in that meeting, he could be assessed as the best player in the UD, although he had no fortune in the face of the rival frame, while he was gradually taking filming.

Four consecutive starts and zero goals

From then on, the crack would no longer release ownership, accumulating four consecutive and zero goals. In his first inclusion in the eleven he was able to quickly uncover the goal locker, but the Rayo Vallecano goalkeeper Dimitrievski denied him the major in a cross ball after a few minutes with his left leg, although it was a good match (1-1). In Fuenlabrada, yellow victory (1-2), he was also very participative and it was noticeable that every time the ball passed through his boots something could happen. Against Girona (1-2), he came out again with enthusiasm and drive and his were the first yellow occasions from outside the area, but, as in previous games, he went to pieces in the second half without finding his way to the goal.

Full confidence of Mel and Ramírez

Finally, his performance in the derby, Perhaps it has been the weakest since his return in yellow, with anger and kick to the referee's poster included. Despite this, he had the piscology and the cape of his technician at the end of the meeting, who, when asked about that departure from tone, answered that: “I was a footballer for many years and I also felt bad that they changed me, so I don't feel bad about what he did (kick to the electronic gear display). He wants to be responsible for scoring goals, but I have insisted that he not. It can help us in many things, so you should be calm. If you get angry because you think you can contribute more, that's fine with me”.

Thus, with zero goals in six games, in 390 minutes that would make more than one nervous, has the support of its technician and Miguel Ángel Ramírez, president of UD Las Palmas, which the week before the derby stated that the entity's intention is that “Jesé has to be a fundamental pillar of the immediate future of UD Las Palmas. Next year we are going to have a very important player in the team and we need important players in case this year we can't get out of this category, try it next year. For me Jesé would be a fundamental piece, as the coach and the sports management believe. Hopefully Jesé will be with us next year because it will be a very strong bet in sports. “

With all this support in favor, what command is the goals and the only one who can change this trend is Jesé himself. Lugo and Mallorca can change their last tantrum for a smile, both their own and UD's.
