He Deportivo stepped foot on land again. Arenteiro’s slap in the 94th minute brings the Coruña team back to earth when they were already celebrating the victory. The tie means two points less in the race for first position and the first real disappointment in a long time. But, what is worse, The greens hit the blue and whites where it hurts the most: in their defensive pride.
The set piece was the great virtue of a Deportivo team that signed a match with two very different faces. He dominated in the first with the ball. They took advantage of Arenteiro’s high and stretched pressure and were able to go into the break with a greater advantage. But after the restart he became confident. Or he lacked strength. Or lost in intensity. Arenteiro dominated the ball, made Villares and José Ángel dizzy from the inside and sank the A Coruña defense until scoring the two goals. Both in a similar way: strategy. It was (and is) the great virtue of A Coruña. But this time it was the king who made the check. The Arenteiro coach detected the crack in the near post, where haircuts and too much threat arrived several times. Idiakez failed to correct from the sideline. The run run was there the entire game until the goals came. The first was an error between Alcaina and Germán, who measured incorrectly; the second, a hubbub of the kind that one sees coming with one’s hands on one’s head. In the end, the ex’s law was imposed, although yesterday there were so many, including Diego Rivas, that it was impossible to stop the saying.
Arenteiro achieved the same goals from set pieces as Dépor had conceded all season. For the first time, he made some players look at each other without a response. He questioned the defensive structure of a dominating team in its areas. Idiakez was unable to react in time. The changes didn’t work. Riazor, impeccable, was not enough. But this is football. On gray days even your best virtues end up being condemnation.
