[Sport] Another opportunity lost by Alavés

[#Steeven.™]

A game that started winning and against a direct rival is allowed to tie

We begin this article by recalling Abelardo's anger after last week's loss to Betis. After the Albiazules fell at Benito Villamarín after winning by zero goals to two, the Asturian coach said the following referring to the defensive mistakes of his team: "it is very difficult to win, it is a lack of concentration and we do not we can allow ". Well, surely something similar will be thinking of Pitu after the draw against Cádiz, above all, because of how the game developed, and because of how the Cadiz draw came.

And it is that surely until minute 83 things were where Abelardo wanted: they had managed to get ahead on the scoreboard, the players were well settled on the grass, and Cádiz was not being able to generate danger or spin plays that made the babazorros nervous .

It is, in short, another opportunity lost by the babazorros, another marker in favor that the Vitorians do not take advantage of, another "final" (although Pitu does not like that expression) in which to hit the table in which he does not The expected result is achieved, and the days continue to pass, and Alavés continues in relegation places ... It happened against Cádiz, it happened last week against him, and it happened against Osasuna, with a defeat against a direct rival that seemed key to the future of classification.

And speaking of classification, the truth is that this last tie does not help Deportivo Alavés, which is still in eighteenth place in the League, and now waits for the results of the rivals not to take off a little more from the fight for permanence . Also, if we look at the next four matches for the Vitoria players (Atlético de Madrid, Celta, Athletic and Villarreal), we see that they face teams that are in the top ten, so perhaps it is not the most encouraging outlook.

With this thus, the figure of the trainer could begin to stagger, since the numbers and percentages of him have not been able to improve to those obtained by Pablo Machín. Of course, he does not want to think about it for a second, in fact, when asked about it in the press room, Abelardo made it clear: "it doesn't depend on me, but I'm not afraid of that."

 

GREEN SHOOTS
At the moment, Pitu wants to hold on to the green shoots that his own have shown in the offensive aspect, where it seems that the players increasingly capture the direct football that their coach is looking for. In addition, with the draw against Cádiz the babazorros cut a four-game losing streak, something that could serve as a turning point for the coming days. At the moment, the squad clings to the fact that there are still eleven days left, and a long time to get salvation on track.
