La Rosaleda is a torment for Malaga

The annoyance of having to play at La Rosaleda. The Malaguista ‘Bombonera’ is an ordeal for the blue and white colors. Malaga has not known victory at home since October 21, 2020 (1-0) at Sporting. Since then, nine consecutive games without winning with the devastating record of five losses and four draws. Bleak.

The precedent with Pavic. We read in the Diario Sur a devastating fact that we commented on the thread of the previous point. This disastrous streak of consecutive matches recalls the one suffered by Club Deportivo Málaga in the 1976-77 season, in the First Division, with Miodrag Pavic. Between 10/31/1976 and 4/3/1977 they conceded four defeats and conceded five draws. That season the team was relegated to Second.

It also happened to Juan Ramón Muñiz. Nor do you have to go very far to confirm that, unfortunately, La Rosaleda is not a fort. With Juan Ramón Muñiz, and with a squad designed to be promoted yes or yes, he only won two matches out of nine possible. The rest were four draws and three defeats, one of them shameful against Reus (0-3). That detune also paid off. Malaga did not meet the objective.

It is not the Mollerussa … but almost. What is the worst team in the history of the Second Division playing at home? There is a resounding case of inefficiency of a team at home. This is Mollerussa, the team from the small town in the province of Lleida was only able to win one game and draw four at their stadium in the 1989-90 season. Another case is Sevilla Atlético in the campaign. 2008-09. Two wins and nine draws at home. Málaga has two victories, five draws and five defeats. A little better than the Mollerussa. But only slightly better.

Unable to trace. Malaga has not come back from a single adverse score. Not one! By tracing it is understood to turn around an adverse result to win the match. The closest thing to a comeback was drawing Lugo in a game that they lost 0-2. Every time Málaga is at a disadvantage they say goodbye to victory.

Damn stop stopped. The data was recreated by our teammates from Movistar after fitting the 0-2. Rigorous lateral foul, poorly defended and an opponent who scores almost at will. Of the 31 goals conceded, no less than 13 have been in strategy plays. Sergio Pellicer has to find solutions.

Bad in defense. It's hard to understand why Málaga is so vulnerable when playing with a defense of five. Nor has it been a wonder to do it with a line of four. What is wrong? It is evident that the defense accuses the bad game of the team, difficulties in the containment, the markings and the exit of the ball. Eguaras' pass between the lines that left Narvaez alone is another example of lack of coordination in defensive work.

Hopes. Yanis Rahmani (the player who appears in the photograph) has three goals and five assists, symbolizing the faith that Málaga has in recovering from this losing streak of a victory in the last eight games. He is one of the three warned along with Matos and Ramón.
