For now Pepe Mel’s faith in Jesé Rodríguez’s performance remains unshakeable. Called to be the leader of his team with the omnipresent Jonathan Viera, the 10 of Las Palmas He has not ceased to be essential for the Madrid coach even at this time, when he is going through his worst streak of this season.
Happens that, after falling to zero against Sporting, Jesé confirms that he is going through his worst moment since the current football season began. Accumulate, for now, five consecutive days without scoring, remaining as a simple beautiful memory in the collective memory of Las Palmas that double that allowed Fuenlabrada to defeat, 2-1, on November 3 at the Gran Canaria Stadium.
Jesé’s worst previous streak took place between matchday four and matchday 7, when Unión Deportiva first skidded on their visit to Mirandés (4-2), and then drew consecutively against Ibiza (1-1) and Burgos (0-0), all before beating Ponferradina 2-1.
For now, this outstanding Real Madrid youth squad, a legend in Valdebebas, is still anchored in the six goals scored and the five assists offered to the delight of his teammates. Despite his entry into fallow there is no one who separates it from Pepe Mel’s plans. Thus, he has participated in 18 of the 19 league games, being a starter in 16 of them, for a total of 1,339 minutes on the grass.
Nor is it that his theoretical competence fanns the flame of the relay, perhaps momentary, well There is hardly any Sadiku, Mujica is now injured and does not participate either and Clau Mendes does not cease to be, for the moment, little more than a meritorious youth squad He scratches, when he can, training sessions and playing minutes with the Las Palmas first team. There is also Peñaranda, who began to join the group today after spending several weeks injured. Except for surprise, it will then be Jesé who will once again be the spearhead of the UD, in that case, Sunday at 5:15 p.m. Canary Island time, in the match against Amorebieta.
