Half hero, half tightrope walker. A path between the discoverer of penicillin and the star seller is offered for lovers who have not yet entered the routine. From the very first moment, constantly avoiding difficulties, deceiving luck when left. then he goes Lolo Escobar In the weathered present where Hercules survives, he is almost always far from his founding dream and very close to failure.
The blue and white coach does not say this, does not want, does not intend to intimidate, but he knows that his bet has reached the point of no return. His future and the team’s future will depend on what happens in the next six dates. It’s not going anymore. Six matches against direct opponents that could be reunited in January, but not entirely, that will determine the stability of his mind in a locker room.
Lolo Escobar is skeptical in defending this decisive episode of the season, without bowing to Míchel and without a fixed plan for the right wing.
So far, in the first six days of the second round, he has broken his predecessor’s record at the start for his best hours here. angel rodriguez He came to Paterna with 9 points, one less than the Extremadura player had accumulated on the eve of taking over the Valencia subsidiary.
What happened next was a disaster: One win, one draw, and four losses were the balance of the coach from Leon in the episode Hercules is now facing. Although it may seem simple to improve, this is not enough because every direct duel that ends badly will push a project that started with a serious deficit a little further, it can be said that it is insurmountable compared to the first two places.
4 POINTS
►Hercules has now been added to the six-game stretch he will face. He only won one game and lost four. He left 14 points away.
10 POINTS
►Lolo got one more in the first 6 days of lap 2 than Ángel Rodríguez at the start of the course.
► Defense continues to present the same doubts
Hercules didn’t defend well all season. In Lolo, this reality is made up as victories cover everything, but the truth is that the clean sheets the team has added since his arrival have a lot more to do with Lolo’s expertise. Carlos Abad in more extreme cases than the creation of a reliable containment network. Interestingly, when Escobar won the most, he listed two defenders who sought a replacement at all costs: Dani Marin and Felipe. Then when the spare parts arrive, Mario Gomez, Diego Jimenez and Retuertadefensive action leaked against two consolidated attacks (Espanyol B and Teruel) and had a hard time against Prat and Ebro, both of whom were in decline.
Lack of connectivity is cited as the reason, but the truth is, the passing of work weeks isn’t solving a problem that’s been creeping up since summer planning. The proof of this is that the most consistent defender is the center defender with the least destructive, the least naive, and the most flexible profile: Roger Riera. He will most likely start this Sunday against Mestalla with his 5th different teammate of the season without scoring even 2 goals. trollsnor Dilannor Daniel nor Mario. Let’s see if this will be the last…
►Without Nico Espinosa, the right wing barely produces
Another unfixed issue is right wing optimization. The loss of the young player created a vacuum from which much of the potential danger a Hercules team could have created, which wasn’t exactly cheap, escaped. cedarsDespite the confidence placed in him, he is insignificant in the circulation, and his assists are not overflowing.
Hopes for the Alicante winger’s recovery after Christmas were really high, so priority was placed on seeking special reinforcements for other frontiers. It went wrong. So much so, choosing to cover it up or to sacrifice the best offensive player, alvaritosnatch (and disable) him from the left flank, or articleswith a sudden inclination to look in as soon as the ball begins to roll.
Third way, overtaking Raul Ruiz Leveraging the presence of Diego Jiménez and EmilDespite the captain’s five goals and numerous assists last year, no one thinks about it. In fact, against the Ebro, La Almozara was a backup in principle out of tactical necessity, not because he lost faith in his abilities in the rear, but undoubtedly less effective than his last show. opposite year Sergio Mora above.
►The brain does not come forward, it is not a differential value
Of all the inconveniences dragged on by this Hercules who barely spent three weeks in the promo zone all year. Michel Herrero It is the most drafty in attack. Not taking advantage of a player with the capacity for difference is an obstacle. Ángel Rodríguez and his circumstances took precedence over the others. Sergio Marcos. The idea that the good guys always understand each other, no matter where you put them, is another football axiom not supported by any serious study.
Lolo put an end to his predecessor’s effort – freeing him from the weight of hitting the ball out. Tuscany this mission–, but the Valencian didn’t shine much either. Its action cannot be limited to taking it down to one side or the other and executing the strategy, it must cross the lines and most importantly step onto the field, shoot the castle, be a deadly weapon in the act of attack. Artiles replaces him and is in shape, but it’s risky to take this step because the day Míchel is there the football flows more easily and in the end you always win.
