Lugo sinks emotionally and also in the classification

It was matchday 22, the first of the second round. CD Lugo, with Nafti on the bench, beat Tenerife 2-0 in a placid match, with goals from Cristian Herrera and Hugo Rama. The albivermellos were passing through the temperate zone of the classification and there was not even a glimpse of the hell in which they were going to be involved shortly after. With six points on the descent as a cushion It was very difficult to think that Lugo was going to go through the qualifying strains of the last two seasons again. Nor could it be expected that, 14 days later, that was going to be the only victory that the Anxo Carro were going to celebrate.

Since then, the downhill has been as striking as it is unstoppable. Five draws and nine defeats with a harvest of five points out of 42 possible. Nafti dismissed in favor of Luis César, who was unable to win a game in eight rounds and, subsequently, Luis César himself replaced by Rubén Albés, that this day debuted in El Toralín with a new defeat. The magnitude of Lugo's fall is best seen if the classification is used: from a quiet position, closer to the playoff than relegation, to be at risk of not even depending on himself to save the category.

In addition, it worries psychological drift of a group that in the last six days has been unable to add a single point and that goes to the canvas before the slightest setback. In a game in which life was at stake like the one played against Ponferradina, the albivermellos were only able to finish once between clubs and even the end of the match was played closer to his own area than that of the rival. After a new suit, the reaction of the next day against a Zaragoza that has not yet fully certified its permanence. A new defeat could be definitive for Lugo.
