Sequeira, Borja and Camarasa: three reasons for optimism in Oviedo

by time news

It was barely a sigh, a parenthesis in the middle of a black night, but also a plank to hold on to in a moment of anxiety. Oviedo fell in Cartagonova (2-1) in another poor performance, which angers the fans and makes the coach seriously worry. It is the third defeat in four weeks and it serves, at least, to make things clear: the only possible objective is to reach 50 points that theoretically give salvation. Assuming the bad moment, the fall in Cartagena leaves a small gap open to hope with the last 20 minutes in which, then yes, Oviedo was better than its rival, forced by an adverse result and with some proper names that stood out.

The first is that of Leo Sequeira. The Argentine, landed in the winter market at the proposal of Pachuca, and with the approval of Cervera, opened his scoring account in Spain with a good header. Bretones’ thread from the left was screaming for a finisher and Sequeira asked for the time, rising and nailing it down, impossible for the local goalkeeper. The goal serves to confirm the improvement observed in the attacker in the last two weeks. At first it was difficult for Sequeira to connect with the competition. He came from Mexico, with a much lower rhythm, and accumulated weeks disconnected due to the end of the Aztec competition.

Cervera used him in the second parts in January in some discreet interventions, which left no trace. He started against Villarreal B and he seemed inconsistent and somewhat lost. But the last two days have shown an improvement. Against Burgos he helped create situations near the rival area. He was close to equalizing with a cross that was poisoned from the left flank. In Cartagonova he followed a similar script, stirring up the team when it seemed to languish, fighting every dispute and with the icing on the cake. His versatility, he can act on the wing or on top, gives him options to aspire to eleven.

Another one that asks for minutes is Borja Sanchez, already demonstrated that the injury is a thing of the past. Against Cartagena, in a short period of time, he showed that the game always loads on his side when he is on the field. He looked for the ball, combined and put centers. The season has not been easy for the youth squad player and Cervera has decided not to put pressure on him and scrupulously respect the recovery deadlines, but the team’s drift in attack makes his participation absolutely necessary. The team continues to have a place without an owner on the left and Borja’s contribution is essential to unblock the team. It may be his time to storm the eleven.

The last proper name that allows a smile is that of Victor Camarasa. His last professional game had been on January 21, 2022, in the Espanyol field defending the Betis shirt. Almost thirteen months later he participated again and left a good feeling.

The context favored him, with Oviedo monopolizing the ball against a locked-in rival and was wrapped up in the middle, but you can sense a top-level footballer in him. There are no football doubts about his contribution to the team, the only uncertainty lies in his physical condition. It seems that Cervera will progressively give him minutes until he reaches optimum form.
