Córdoba CF’s losses continue to pile up. Although the green and white team was able the previous day to overcome the five absences against Granada, the penalties for accumulating yellow cards were imposed Caracido and Requena It adds complexity to the process of making the starting lineup. … Now, Oviedo coach Ivan Anya will have to resort to his wardrobe for the match against Cádiz. but, His lack of confidence In the second unit it makes it difficult for these players to perform optimally as starters.
In total, within the league competition, a total 1,350 minutes Within fifteen days it was implemented. If you look at the playing time in the green and white team, as many as ten of the first team players did not overcome a barrier 500 minutesor what is the same, just over a third of the total played.
Kevin Medina was taken to even less
The most prominent of this list is: Kevin Medina with 492 minutes. The man from Malaga made thirteen appearances, but despite this number, he only started Four times He did not complete ninety minutes in any of them. Due to the doubts that arose in the left sector, Kevin started from day 5 to day 8, and from then on, his role was as a catalyst in the final stretches and he was losing more and more presence.
The proof of this is in He hasn’t played a single minute in the last two games.. His arrival in the summer looked great, but it didn’t quite fit into Anya’s plans, who found in Dallison a more reliable file on the left.
Losing Caracedo could open the door for Kevin Medina on the right wing, playing with a natural leg, despite his lack of rhythm and option for Jacobo. The secret to share.
Chance Xavi Saints and Alex Martin
Next on the list is Xavi Saints with 481 minutes. In this case, the green and white centre-back is a safe option to defend in the absence of Ruben Alves and Fumeim. Unlike last season, where he made 35 appearances and 27 starts, the Balearic Islands defender was relegated to the second division. The third or even fourth step Inside the team’s centre-back.
In this sense, Saintes had the opportunity to start from the third day to the sixth due to the injury of Ruben Alves, although after the recovery of the Spaniard the Brazilian had only minutes in the elimination in the Copa del Rey and the Mahon man could not make good arguments. With the loss of Fumim, he now has a new opportunity to Be the reference for the right centre-backalthough he will have to fight for this place with Alex Martin.
The Canary defender gets less playing time compared to his teammate 379 minutes in the league. Although Ruben Alves was absent due to injury, he started alongside Fumeim against Las Palmas, and after this match, Ivan Anya kept him on the bench. Seven games in a row Without having the opportunity to jump onto the field of play.
Given the large number of minutes played by the Cameroonian centre-back, Martin became the player The third option Inside the defense, though, he only added playing time remaining. Thanks to his versatility, he played in Albarán’s sending off match against Malaga as a right-back and played for half an hour. He started against Deportivo as a left-back, and finally was a right-back against Granada, and completed Both parties as a whole. Although this duo is showing good form, the match against Cadiz will determine who will start after the return of Ruben Alves.
Nucleus without prominence
Among the players with the lowest attendance there is also a name Theo Zidane in the 384th minute. Although it may not seem like it, the Frenchman is a player who More than once it has been introduced as a soft drink (9), but Ivan Anya’s commitment to Jacobo in midfield means that he only participates in the final moments of matches.
As happened against Deportivo, the Marseille player could start against Cádiz as an inside player if Jacopo starts on the right wing. This position can also be overshadowed Pedro Ortiz with only 300 minutes.
The Spaniard’s reputation after arriving in the winter market has been very lackluster this season. Away from the installed levelAfter starting against Sporting, Real Valladolid, Castellon, Racing Santander and Real Sociedad B, he only added Twenty minutes against Almeria After his participation in the Anoeta – in addition to his story-telling performance last Sunday against Granada -.
Already in midfield, there are several pieces that did not have the chance to prove their worth and that are now assumed to be important against Cádiz. The first is Alberto del Moral with 180 minOr the equivalent of 13% of the total time. After impressing in a tug-of-war with Oviedo this summer, Córdoba were able to secure his services again on loan.
Ivan Anya had already expressed his desire to rely on it again last year, but the truth is that this third phase is green and white. Not being too prolific. After starting against Las Palmas, Requena was outclassed by the Toledo native in midfield and did not feature in the starting line-up again. Of course, he is usually the usual replacement for the player on loan from Villarreal He aims to start against Cádiz. However, his lack of competitive speed could take its toll and limit his impact in midfield.
Diego Bree, Jan Salas and Opolski
Another option to accompany Esma Ruiz is Jean Salas. The Catalan arrived in the last hours of the market on loan from Mallorca and has obtained good references, supported by his call-ups to the Spanish Under-21 team. but, He had no room to develop.
He divides his 90 minutes between the matches against Andorra and Real Sociedad B, and since then, He fell into complete untouchability On the green and white team. It must be remembered that his local club has a release clause if he does not play for a certain period of time, but as Córdoba CEO Antonio Fernández Monterrubio stated, This option is being considered They are prepared in case they have to do so.
As the latest cases, there is that Diego Bree -114 minutes- A player who did not shine until his match against Malaga and his painful goal. Against Deportivo he gradually gained fame, but his quadriceps injury completely slowed his progress. Another who seeks to reclaim space is Juan Maria Alcedo. After spending two months out of work due to a dislocated shoulder, Rotino is aiming to extend the rare 62 minutes he has accumulated so far.
In conclusion, the most striking name is a noun Obolsky. Just fifteen minutes for the striker who finished ahead of Antonio Casas last season, but has now been overshadowed by the arrivals of Guardiola and Fuentes. In a one-ram system, its last appearance goes back an era Day two against Las Palmas. With this panorama, its exit from the January market would not be unreasonable at all.
