Depression and euphoria go in opposite directions, but they do so with equal ferocity. Sometimes they intersect, that’s natural. But living permanently flogged by both is an ordeal, a terrible punishment baptized into a word that sounds so bad but feels awful. This bipolaritythe real, the identified, complicates any existence, fills the path to happiness with potholes, walls, unfinished bridges. It consumes those who suffer from it and those who come too close to them. There are also teams in football who suffer from this disease, trapped, almost constantly extinguished in a frenzy of feeling invincible and vulnerable for no apparent reason. But luckily in football it is a lie. there is always a reason.

Conclusion

Winning always justifies everything, no matter what.

Analysis from the final score is positive when you win and terrible when you lose. That’s why one day you leave the field saying the name of the coach and a week later you return home without wanting to remember his name. with the separation angel rodriguez and the arrival of Lolo Escobar changed some things, most notably: chance. Impossible games were won with the man from Extremadura, with the man from Leon, which they would lose in a landslide.

Undeniably, this helped the changes introduced in tactics (with very localized beneficiaries and victims) be better metabolized in the locker room. Luck forces, it is perfect in any achievement, it is capital, but it is also finite. When you turn it off, you must be nailed good handles in favor of weaving a safety net into the wall that allows us to wait for the next wind, so as not to collapse.

27 GOALS

Hercules conceded a goal in his first 22 league games.

► Only three teams worsen this record, two of them are in decline (Prat and CD Ibiza) and the other, Badalona Futur, balances to avoid relegation.

The streak is ending, of course, the goal is not to go without a transition from good to bad. mitigate the harmful effect, which makes it more bearable, less harmful. The change in the bench is good key aspects: roaming, attack deployment, occupation of areas, chorus concepts, optimization of resources… but it didn’t finish stopping the evil that Hercules boarded the plane to travel to Palma at the beginning of September: inconsistency defense

HE mistake Garrafal in the preparation of the team, solved in one example, Sports Management, but it is still hidden inside the field. Neither coach provided (or failed to provide) the blue-and-white team a framework worthy of enduring close combat with their equals. Rodríguez could not even find the binding of the less powerful, hiss was a transparent defense. Escobar has strengthened this line, but obviously not enough yet. The work in the enclosure is collective, therefore weakness due to the lack of a single player behind it.

Failures have names

A trainer is not the only person to be held accountable.

Projects that end well often recognize a leader and draw attention to him. But those who succeed in pursuing what they pursue for collective ends will say that they would never have succeeded without the input of others if they were not fools. Like this. Hercules’ defense fails, it’s true, it’s undeniable, it’s been like that from the start of the course but it’s not accompanied by other things to help mitigate the bugs that prevent it from working properly.

Every year, decent names who stand out, offer good service records, proudly display their records, statistics and good progress join the team. But it is rare in Alicante that anyone succeeds in giving it continuity. In this city, especially in this club, they enter a tunnel, a black hole, which sucks their energy (and talent). There are so many cases that a trend can already be mentioned.

11 PLAYERS

Scored at least one goal this season

►Alvarito (6), Riera (4) and Míchel (3) make up more than half of the team to score 24 goals in their first 22 league games, the worst record for anyone struggling to finish at the top.

Hercules Lolo EscobarHe needs what’s called to make a difference, growing as a block, moving better and more coordinated, having a much clearer definition of attack from the start of the ball. bet for Michel Herrero This is completely understandable, but its incidence in play should go much further than free kicks. His importance in the team is paramount because all games go through him, he is the one they look for before him. alvaritoso if it’s not good, everything is rougher, dirtier, thicker.

When offensive action is interrupted by a bad pass, defensive support is released because Hercules cannot afford to play with more players on his court than the opponent’s. Whenever a midfielder makes a non-essential mistake, the balance is upset. And this cannot be fixed by Escobar. morale injection or a strategic change that must be fought for by those of sufficient quality and who are paid more for it than others.

two of themAnder Vitoria and Sergio MarcosThey do not count, do not contribute, do not collect a little, and the third does it with a dropper. In contrast, we can only hope it evolves around other players. Alvarito and Roger RieraTake steps to reach status that others have wasted.
