The 'double descent' threatens Atlético B: this will be its second phase so as not to fall to the fifth category

The draw against Navalcarnero (1-1) was the confirmation that Atlético B's first phase was a fiasco. The subsidiary came to the last exam with options to save themselves, after an interesting arreón, but it was only worth winning and did not. It was confirmed that next season will play, as a lesser evil, in the Second RFEF, which will be the fourth category of Spanish football. But he still has to press to avoid falling to Third RFEF (that is, the fifth category). The threat of the double relegation stalks Atleti B.

The downturn is considerable, considering that Last year the subsidiary was fighting, as in 2019, to be promoted to Second. But this season started crooked and when the course was straightened it was late. Even so, he won the option of gambling in a direct duel with Navalcarnero. Between October and January he spun a streak of nine games without winning (4 points added from 27) almost definitive. And now that? Now those of subgroup A join with those of group B and it's time to press. This is what comes to Atlético B:

Phase for the permanence in Second RFEF of group 5

Pts Pj G AND P GF GC DG
Melilla 2. 3 18 6 5 7 fifteen 19 -4
Villarrubia twenty 18 4 8 6 17 24 -7
Las Rozas twenty 18 5 5 8 16 25 -9
Athletic B 19 18 4 7 7 fifteen twenty -5
Poblense 16 18 two 10 6 16 twenty-one -5
Socuéllamos 16 18 4 4 10 13 25 -12
Getafe B 13 18 two 7 9 eleven twenty-one -10
Villarrobledo 10 18 two 4 12 fifteen 29 -14

The last five of this subgroup and the third worst of the five groups descend to Third RFEF.

The set of Nacho Fernández drag all the points of the first phase and now he will play, in a double round, against the teams that come from the other subgroup. That is to say, Melilla, Villarrubia, Socuéllamos and Villarrobledo. It is a very demanding phase because of the eight participants will drop five. The worst of the third also falls. That is, only being first and second ensures staying in the Second RFEF. The subsidiary, as we see, starts from the fourth place. Right now he's in the relegation zone, one point from salvation.

A weakened subsidiary without Garcés, Sanabria, Valera …

The club in the club is important, And it can be even worse. A team conceived to enter the front car and that, in the end, has not even been able to settle for the intermediate zone. In addition, despite the bad track record, the squad lost some important pieces in January such as Borja Garcés, Sanabria and Germán Valera, who have made the jump to Second in exchange for weakening Atleti B.

From the Academy it is time to look to the future knowing that for 2021-22 the jump from the subsidiary to the first team will be immense, much greater than the current one. Atlético B has not stepped on the Second since 2000 and was in Third recently (2015-17). Now there are eight finals to avoid falling into a category far below what is desired and what is required. In any case, it will touch a cycle change to output the Toni Moya, San Roman, Ricard … and think about what to do with the youngest, like Mario Soriano, Giuliano Simeone, Javi Serrano …
