The Valladolid receive the Cadiz with the imperative need to get the three points, before a group from Cádiz that wants confirmation of the permanence as soon as possible and avoid last minute problems.
The lack of concentration and the inability to face the last minutes of the matches for fear of losing what was achieved, have been an absolute burden for the Blanquivioletas players. Therefore, the mental part will be as or more important than knowing how to counteract the tactical virtues of Cádiz.
And it may be that, taking this situation into account, various changes are carried out in the ranks of Valladolid, especially in defense, with the possible entry of Luis Pérez on the right side, and El Yamiq in the center of defense, to which Kiko Olivas could be added, although this one lacks a lot of competitive rhythm.
Sergio González will also be able to count on Weissman, who would return to the starting eleven, in which he could be accompanied by Marcos André, thus giving Guardiola a rest and reserving Kodro. Of course, the Catalan coach has not wanted to give clues about his approach to Cádiz.
The objective is “to play a good game, to generate situations that make the rival feel uncomfortable”, because Álvaro Cervera's men arrive in a more privileged position in the table and will seek to assert that lack of pressure in the face of anxiety and the need to the locals.
“You have to try to counteract that, giving rhythm to the game, being more aggressive and intense, understanding that the game lasts more than 90 minutes, so it is important to be ambitious, but with head and courage,” said Sergio on the wheel of press before the game this Saturday.
He knows that Cádiz “is a team with very clear ideas, that is comfortable without the ball, shoots well at the bands, which are supported by the wings, and arrives with many people in the finishing zone”, hence he considers fundamental “to have more the ball to count on more offensive actions, but watching their transitions”.
The numbers of the last matches Valladolid-Cádiz
For its part, Cádiz faces the visit to the Valladolid field with the fixed idea of certifying the goal of permanence, since mathematical salvation is getting closer and closer and Álvaro Cervera's pupils want to avoid last minute scares.
Cádiz is nine points above the relegation places despite having added a single point in the last two games, settled with a draw against Celta (0-0) and a defeat against Real Madrid (0-3 ), and in his visit to Valladolid Cervera also has the setback of having four casualties, two of them from regular holders.
Danish midfielder Jens Jonsson and winger Salvador Sánchez Ponce 'Salvi' are sanctioned for accumulating cautions and will not play at the José Zorrilla stadium.
In the Jonsson position would enter the central defender Rafael Giménez 'Fali', who has played several games in that position, which would lead to the return of Juan Cala to the starting eleven.
The loss of de Salvi could be covered by the Valladolid Iván Alejo, who would play against his home team, recovering a title that he has only enjoyed this season on two occasions; or Rubén Sobrino would go down to the center of the field, with which the Honduran Anthony 'Choco' Lozano would occupy a place up front.
Neither will midfielders Álex Fernández and Alberto Perea act, due to injuries that have kept them in the dry dock for a few days.
Probable lineups:
Valladolid: Masip; Luis Pérez, Joaquín or Kiko Olivas, El Yamiq, Olaza; Hervías, Roque Mesa or Míchel, Alcaraz, Orellana; Weissman and Marcos André or Guardiola.
Cádiz: Ledesma; Iza Carcelén, Cala, Marcos Mauro, Espino; Fali, José Mari, Nephew or Alejo, Jairo; Negredo and Lozano or Nephew.
Referee: Alberola Rojas (Castilla La Mancha Committee).
Stadium: José Zorrilla.
Time: 16.15.
