The panorama with which Amorebieta closes the first round of the season is as gloomy as last night, in which the blues suffered a direct blow that left the team practically knocked out. The defeat suffered against Alcorcón is, beyond what it means in the classification, already delicate in itself, a blow to the morale of the locker room, which sees how nothing is going right for them.
If the duel a few days ago against Zaragoza could have suggested or provided a glimpse of a new air, this Thursday’s match in Lezama was a regression. The zornotzarras were once again a will and a can’t. In a match in which there was so much at stake, there was a lack of intensity, a lack of courage. Alcorcón used the most basic football, and a very motivated Koldo Obieta against his ex and cheered on by his friends from the stands, to take the victory. Long balls, second plays and, above all, believing in what he did.
It was not, at all, a brilliant or attractive meeting. Nobody expected him to see each other’s situation. But in that fight to get out of the hole, it seems that the potter’s team gave him more convincing, while Amorebieta began to crumble as he suffered the blows.
«We have been dense with the ball, without the ball, we have won very few second plays, they have created doubts… a sad Jandro Castro lamented at the end of the match. «We take the lead and they tie us after two minutes. “That hurt us quite a bit,” he admits. “They hadn’t generated much, neither had we, but those second plays always fell on their side,” he stressed. «I bet on the same eleven because the other day I saw the team very well, I liked what I saw, and I have tried to give continuity. But it hasn’t turned out so well,” he also explained.
Further away
Yesterday was the tip of the iceberg in an Amorebieta that in this month of December had a moderately favorable opportunity to somehow get its situation back on track. Three of the four matches this month have been played in the shelter of his fans, who have had to see how they have only been able to score the point against Zaragoza. One out of nine possible. A very limited baggage that leaves the blues eight points away from permanence. Double that of the end of the first round two seasons ago, when ‘only’ four points separated them from Mirandés
“People are very touched, the break is even good for us to clear our heads and when we return to work and continue, we have no other choice,” Jandro launched, trying to send a message of certain positivism. Or at least patience. “Let people recharge their batteries, we have to come full force to work, continue, improve… We have to try to think only about the next game and see where we can go.”
The calendar indicates that the next match will be the Cup clash against Celta in Urritxe, a match that, given the need with which both contenders arrive, could be said to be uncomfortable. Although the Asturian coach prefers to see an opportunity in him. «It is a nice game for the town, it is played in Urritxe, it could be good for us so that people who are not playing as much can show themselves. We are very clear that the objective is what it is, but we are also going to compete for the Cup because the club is above everything. The people of the town are going to go and we want to give them joy,” says the Mieres coach. “For now we are going to rest, which will be good for us.”
