the parrots lose two points due to claws at Carlos Belmonte (1-1)

BarcelonaIn front of half a thousand parakeet fans who had traveled to the Manxes for the cause, Espanyol began the fight to return to Primera with a well-deserved draw at the Albacete field (1-1). The white-and-blues, who still need multiple tweaks to improve the squad, went from more to less in an afternoon of good football at the Carlos Belmonte despite the high temperatures and the initial instances of the championship. The drop in visitors in the second half, as if they were a soft cheese, calls for an internal reflection and a reaction in the offices. Signings are required.

Espanyol was better in a first half that had everything. However, it took Fernando Pacheco to step up as a superhero as he saved not one, but two penalties. The parakeet goalkeeper, one of the best in the Second Division – you see he doesn’t want to go to the First if he receives a good offer -, destroyed the morale of Albacete’s best player, Manu Fuster, in two shots from 11 meters. In the first, the Valencian midfielder wanted to beat him to his right after Julio Alonso fell in the area in a counter sponsored by a mistake by Óscar Gil. And in the second, he tried to direct the ball to the opposite side to penalize Lazo’s hands. Pacheco reacted to where he touched on both occasions and made good the predisposition of Luis García’s to play their cards well on the offensive side.

Because the parrots had more of the ball, pressed better and deployed more meaningfully in the opposite field than their opponents. Before leveling the score, they had up to three meridian opportunities to do so shortly after the initial whistle. The clearest, a great shot on the crossbar by Nico Melamed, Espanyol’s main attacking rudder now that Sergi Darder’s departure is already a reality. Sealing the continuity of the Spanish-Argentine should be an obligation for the sports management of the Catalan club, who celebrated the first goal of the season thanks to the strategy. In the 40th minute, a ball released by Leandro Cabrera from Óscar Gil’s cross made it 0-1 to Calero, who scored at the far post. The Castilian center is called upon to be important in his fifth campaign in Cornellà-El Prat.

In the second half, the metamorphosis. Espanyol, affected by the subconscious claw of those who are winning, abandoned the offensive freshness and had to put on the work frog to try to keep the income. The substitutions tested him, in Albacete, who had up to two opportunities to kiss Pacheco’s net just before the restart. The clearest was for the other Pacheco, the one from the Mancheque team, who finished with pleasure, alone in the area, after a very good play. Óscar Gil, a negative protagonist in the first half, improved in the second half and thwarted this opportunity on the same line and also another good drive by Carlos Isaac who was looking for a finisher in the small area. Likewise, Cabrera and Pacheco rejected two more attempts from Albacete when Espanyol were suffering the most. Finally, Luis García’s team did not know how to resist and lost two points due to the inertia of the Mancheos. Quiles was the author of the 1-1 final in a mess in the Catalans’ area. fair result
