The match between Sporting de Gijón and Eldense left anecdotes and data that we collected from LA NEW SPAIN from our “the scalpel” section
And Djuka bit again: on the 23rd he breaks his worst streak
“Never give up”. And Djuka bit again. When you least expected it. When it seemed that he would be a substitute. When he went to Montenegro he turned his back for the first time without a compelling reason. When he was already overcoming his biggest drought as a red and white (14 days in the league). Thus, he appeared on the 23rd to kill the game against Eldense and leave Sporting in second place and dreaming of promotion. Ramírez pulled out all the stops yesterday and brought in Djuka and Cali Izquierdoz, two heavyweights and captains, for a dog-faced duel against an Eldense who is not the ugly duckling of the category, no matter what his budget says and who moments made El Molinón and all those who followed Monday’s game on TV tremble. Djurdjevic’s goal – great goal – is a relief for everyone: first for him, who needed a joy as soon as possible to feel important again and release all the tension that accumulates on his back. But also for the team. With the sports area looking at the market for a 9, and controlling the future of the desired Jon Karrikaburu, among others, what better news than yesterday in El Molinón to face whatever comes with a different spirit: the forward called to make a difference, scored – finally – the goal that closed one of those trap games. He celebrated his release, with a gesture to the stands, vindicating himself, releasing all the adrenaline. With goals, he always lives better.
El Molinón, a fortress: 6 wins in 8 games and 20 points
Although the team was not brilliant and the fact of playing on Monday cooled the atmosphere somewhat, El Molinón continues to be an ally for Sporting, which has 6 wins in 8 games, 20 points, and has not yet lost a game (thanks to Insua’s heroism in that Poussin blunder). With A Malata and El Plantío, the red and white fiefdom is one of the three in the League that remains impenetrable. Yesterday’s victory is worth a lot. For putting aside those two small setbacks against Amorebieta and Alcorcón, for recovering Djurdjevic for the cause, who is smiling again, and for retaining second place. There are 17 days. But this Sporting is very serious. Second with 32 points, they are already five ahead of seventh, Racing de JAL. And the number of subscribers, rising.
Gaspar already exceeds his limit and now pursues Puado
This competitive animal has needed seventeen games to improve his ceiling. Gaspar is the king of the goal. And for Sporting, a blessing. The man from Gijón scored the same yesterday, and adds 8. That is, one more than those scored in 42 games in Burgos, in one of the best assignments that Mareo remembers. Humble, hard-working and a very good person, the youth player has always commented that his particular goal was to improve the scoring figures he achieved at El Plantío. Well, that’s over now… and the competition hasn’t even reached its halfway point. Gaspar has long been not just Gaspi. And silently, he fights for the “Pichichi” of the Second Division. Only a big player like Puado (Espanyol) beats him by one goal. And the worst thing about this fact: he doesn’t take penalties. As long as the sports area signs another “9”, Gaspar is gold.
The consequences of Monday football: more audience but less capacity and goodbye to the reception
Monday football is good for TV and for the issue of television casting that those in charge in the business like so much, but it is bad news for romantics. Above all, for subscribers who ultimately pay for their membership card. Yesterday, El Molinón looked colder than usual. Not only because of the capacity issue (14,892 spectators in the stadium). Also because the massive reception of the red and white fans lost momentum: the official Sporting vehicle crossed the vicinity of the stadium alone. Of course, those present made noise. And even the wave.
The change in MAR’s system: from 4-4-2 to 4-2-3-1 with Villalba as 10
Although the system that the club published on its social networks was a standard 4-4-2, the presence of Fran Villalba – who was again a starter after also playing in Alcorcón – caused the formation to shift more to a 4-2-3. 1. In the first minutes of the game, the Valencian started with the right-handed profile as a false winger, and it was Otero who acted with Djuka in the attack, continuing the classic and usual 4-4-2. But after those first moments of the game, Ramírez moved Otero to the right wing and gave Villalba complete freedom as “10.” The movement concealed a change of drawing. The Valencian participated, mixing meritorious actions with errors, especially in ball losses. At half-time, Ramírez removed Villalba and Varane, who also regained his place. Villalba lost another opportunity to get hooked.
