After the defeat in El Molinón (2-0), Eldense saw a streak of eight consecutive matches without losing, including the Copa del Rey in Jaén. The team failed to capitalize on the opportunities they had against Sporting and paid a heavy price against an unforgiving team whose promotion to the First League was certain.
Two goals were conceded again in Gijón, now five goals have been scored in the last three matchesDespite getting four points, goals scored are always a thorn in the side when it comes to achieving victory. Blaugranas became the sixth team with the most goals in the championship, scoring 24 goals in 17 matches.
get back to focus
Yes, it is true that Estévez managed to reduce the scoring bleeding after the bitter defeat against Oviedo (1-3). He achieved this with three goals conceded by the team in six matches. However, the goals against Mirandés and Sporting put the focus once again on improving the defensive plan.
It is necessary to analyze how these goals were received, because Sporting’s first goal came after a rebound from Carlos Hernández, while the second was the result of a transition in which the team was looking for an equalizer. Yes, more could have been done when it came to defending set-pieces to prevent a striker of Hassan’s quality from getting ahead or leaving Mirandés’ defender Barbu alone.
Dario Dumic
Speaking on this subject, Bosnian defender Dario Dumic made it clear that in the previous match against Tenerife, he did not think about the goals the team conceded in recent matches. The Bosnian player was relegated to the bench after the yellow half against BurgosHe plays against Andorra, but only played eight minutes against Mirandés and did not play at all in Gijón.
The defender admitted that he felt good personally and that his adaptation to Spain was very easy. and a quick thank you to the people surrounding the club. And 31-year-old Dumic is having his first experience in Spain after playing in different teams of Denmark, England, Netherlands and Germany.
Regarding this difference in terms of play compared to other countries, the defender stated that in countries such as Germany, the game is more physical and dynamic, but here everything is more technical. Regarding the fans, he underlined that in Spain they whistle more from the stands.
Focus on themselves
Finally, Dumic emphasized that they should focus more on themselves in the next matches: “Now that we are playing at home, we have to focus on ourselves and get a good result.”
It is clear that not conceding a goal will be one of the keys to victory against Tenerife, as it was against Amorebieta and Burgos. The team is aware of the importance of December to enter the Christmas holiday with good feelings and get the season back on track.
Eldense will host Tenerife, travel to Málaga in the Cup and Leganés in the league, host Racing de Santander and close the year with a visit to Carlos Belmonte against Albacete on 19 December.
