Hercules traveled to Ibiza in search of a smaller prize to qualify for the King’s Cup. Lolo Escobar members are closing the season with the sadness of being out of the Play Offs. To achieve the goal, the coach selected eleven midfielders, Alvarito alone, as a player with a clear offensive profile. X-ray of a campaign where the attack aggravated the project. Of course, a draw against an opponent who had already dropped to Third place and said goodbye to the category after an erratic campaign stuck in the relegation zone was not worth it.
The pile began with no rhythm and this feeling: nothing was at stake. Facilities with shortcomings and Hercules were disabled in the last meters. Possession was from Alicante, but without a punch. Crouching behind him, the opponent seemed to be waiting for an option to surprise the counterattack. The minutes passed with an unpleasant and fruitless game in both areas. The repeated history of a season to be forgotten as Lolo Escobar’s men once again hit the opponent’s court. The first shot came from Álvaro with a head straight into the hand of goalkeeper Ismael.
absenteeism for Jean Paul sanction and Luque further increased the team’s difficulties in finding the way. But as football is whimsical, a cross came from Artiles, who was poisoned when he hit a defender and was the first goal of the game, while the locals played better. Achieving this in the last minutes of the first half is a bit psychological. The result masked the bad football of the blue and whites. Despite this, the second half started with two clear chances for Ibiza, who lacked quality in shooting.
Minutes passed with little to analyze. Lolo Escobar’s team tried to end the game with long, horizontal balls against an opponent with more willpower than skill. Hercules closed a disastrous campaign with the small prize of the Cup. The match was the highlight of the season, a characterless and goalless team. It’s time to reshape the project to call. A team that really aims to rise. Now there are thousands of unknowns about the new faces that should come to the club in the sports and corporate division. Come and end a sad and very disappointing league.
