Unai
Simon it is flagged again. The mistake that the rojiblanco goal made in the goal of Sandro He has once again sowed doubts about the work carried out by Murgia in a season in which he alternates great performances with important failures that have cost points. Like the team in the League, the goalkeeper is not standing out this season precisely because of his consistency.
Simon had a good first half on Wednesday at El Alcoraz, with merit interventions against Ferreiro, Seoane Y Rafa
Mir, but it all went to hell in the 60th minute, when Sandro he shot from the right wing and the visiting goalkeeper swallowed the ball under his body. Sometimes football is that unfair. It is true that the ball thrown by the Canarian striker carried a lot of power, but a goalkeeper must stop it without problems, especially in the case of a lateral shot.
He also missed against Atlético, Valladolid, Valencia, Celta and Real Sociedad
The truth is this goal served for the locals to add a momentous victory and also to reopen the debate on the international goalkeeper, with less than a month left before the Eurocup begins. The rojiblanco has been chosen in recent games to start at the Red, but Lewis
Enrique has declared on occasion that he does not have a starting goalkeeper. Therefore, everything is in the air in the absence of a few calendar pages for the coach to offer the final call for the great continental event.
Simon he has made six major mistakes this season. He failed against Atlético in San Mamés in Savic's goal, against Valladolid in Zorrilla, in a false start at Mestalla, taking the ball against Celta in San Mamés, when he swallowed the center shot from Robert
Lopez in Anoeta after the Cup final and Wednesday against Huesca in El Alcoraz.
Pacheta, who was euphoric after scoring three very important points in his fight for permanence, apologized to the goalkeeper, who was under his command for a few days at Elche on loan from Athletic. “That ball of Sandro it's very screwed up. We have seen it in training. It is very violent. It happened to Elche and it has happened to Athletic. You have no idea how fast he is going ”, said the coach from Burgos, who feels a special predilection for Athletic.
The Alava has played almost everything this season. He has played all 36 league matches, two in the Super Cup, four in the Cup this season, including the final against Barça, and the KO title match last year against the Txuri Urdin. Only the first two games of this last competition were left without playing against Ibiza and Alcoyano, when Marcelino opted for Jokin
Ezkieta.
