The scarce ‘Natxo effect‘. Mathematics does not support the alleged improvement that was sought with the change of coach. Natxo Gonzalez. The eight games with the coach from Vitoria have the following balance: one win, three draws and four losses; four goals for and nine against; six points out of a possible 18. Definitely fired from the fight for the promotion playoff and plunged into the mud with seven points (average goal lost) above Sanse. The ‘Natxo effect’ does not translate into results.
The drama of the goal. We take a look at the tremendous reality that Malaga does not score a goal or the Arc de Triomphe. These are the numbers of their forwards: Brandon (seven goals and four penalties), Chavarría (zero goals), Sekou, Antoñín and Roberto (two goals). Between the five they add 13 goals. Less than Rubén Castro. To that we must add another devastating fact. Málaga has not scored in 12 of the 32 games of this championship; only one goal in 13 games and two in seven. A calamity. So it is impossible.
the smart card. Víctor Gómez has been called up to play with the U21 National Team in the qualifying matches against Lithuania and Slovakia for the Eurocup in this category. In theory he goes down for the next game against Huesca (Sunday at 6:15 p.m.). Given the circumstances, the player received a blessed warning against Fuenlabrada. It is the fifth that would prevent him from playing this game anyway. A ‘blessed and timely yellow’.
Waiting for Adrian Lopez. How desperate the fans of Málaga have to be with the poor performance of their team so that, whoever more than less, are eager for the signing of Adrián López to be confirmed, who this week has started training with the rest of the team. At 34 years old, he is authorized to have a record outside the official markets due to his unemployed condition. He seems recovered from his injury. Any help is always welcome.
Lombard’s reflections. This is how the team captain spoke after his defeat at the Fernando Torres. The game is difficult to assess after the defeat. We controlled a large part of the game, we had possession of the ball and there were quite clear arrivals. When you don’t hurt your rival, they play at home and they play a lot, this happens” Lombán also sends a message to the fans Thanking them for coming to help us and encourage us. Above all, they love their team, that’s what’s important”.
