Trejo, Iraola's last bet to combat the lack of goal

El Rayo continues immersed in its losing streak of five games without a win – three draws and two losses – and one of the most worrying symptoms is his lack of goal. The franjirrojos have only scored three in these five rounds. The last, the one with the draw against Leganés, came from the penalty spot and started from the boots of captain Trejo.

The Argentine was Iraola's bet for the lead in the derby, playing the role of ‘false nine’ and seconded by Isi in the midfielder. A role that he Chocota He had assumed on other occasions (Mirandés this year) and that Rayo had tested with Andrés Martín against Ponferradina and Oviedo and with Baby against Elche in the Cup and Mallorca in the League. Nevertheless, During the duel against Leganés, Baby was also at the top and that's where Qasmi and Guerrero finished.

“We had already done it sometime. I wanted to put Trejo and Isi up so they were both moving and leave Baby on the right wing, but as soon as we have gotten behind on the scoreboard, Baby gives you a different physical presence. That is why we have changed it after half an hour. Trejo has found better spaces between the lines, “analyzed the Basque coach.

Throughout these weeks, Iraola has alternated up Antoñín (Logroñés and Albacete), Guerrero (Mirandés) and Qasmi (Sabadell). Precisely, the Franco-Moroccan is the last striker to score. He did it on March 21, in the 0-3 at Alcorcón. Those who are being more prolific in the face of goal are the wingers. In fact, Isi remains the top scorer with seven goals, one more than Antoñín, whose last goal dates from January 2, in Alcorcón 2-1.
