Who is charged with the enormous responsibility of rescuing Hercules from the clutches of mediocrity? Is Lolo Escobar the best fit? no doubt an important decisionThe main thing that the Hercules sports commission should get is still not structured. The blue and white teacher has one more year in his contract and he is not willing. give up it’s her own free will, so it’s time to balance the pros and cons of the Extremadura coach who continues to lead the bench.
Statistics.
macro numbers to approve to Escobar. just take care 21 games directed, will finish in third position. At that time, only Teruel and Peña Deportiva made better records than Hercules. However, by increasing the focus of the microscope, the situation changes and a lot changes.
When the entire second round is sampled, the data reveal a very different reality. Seven In the second half of the league, the teams were better than the blue and white teams. He lost one more point (26) than he could have won (25) by signing a very poor balance. 7 wins, 4 draws and 6 lossesnumbers very similar to those ending with angel rodriguez in the first part of the championship.

At that time, nine clubs surpassed those in Alicante. four wins, the two When there is nothing big to fight for and half the points are uncertain (15).

Leadership
Wear and tear in the locker room difficulty competing against peers (or in the case of maximum pressure in the second round), after the repulsive effect of his recruiting wears off (with three wins and a draw in match decisions, let’s say, extremely unusual, even extraordinary), he forces us to rethink. If the person who has shown the least control over the players on the field has to continue to command a ship that needs everything to start well, it is more appropriate to give continuity to the sad outcome, if there is no hesitation.
Hercules, in the Second RFEF for the third time in a row, is a giant kerosene tank that cannot be approached with even the slightest spark, as it can explode on the first change.
