Deportivo, to complete the comeback

Having closed the gap by ten points, they will be leaders if they beat Badajoz, with Castilla losing in San Fernando and Alcorcón not going further than a draw

If it is true that football is a state of mind, Deportivo welcomes it Badajoz in the best moment of the season, after his slap in the face in Talavera, his uncompetitiveness at home scared off even the last bumblebees who were bothering him, and he was determined to tie the home fifth victory in a row. He returns to Riazor, where no one coughs for him, protected by an undiminished fan base, which since his return Lucas Perez in the winter market, it even expanded its support to 20,000 spectators per game. This is the right moment for him to shift into sixth gear, reach cruising speed and send a very clear message to all his opponents: Dépor is here.

But be careful, because Badajoz stood out as the most experienced assassin. He inflicted his heaviest defeat last season, when in March he completed the liquidation of his last aspirations towards direct promotion. And during the first round of the same course, he again defeated Deportivo and left him on his feet at a critical moment that took him ten points away from the lead.

Everything has changed a lot until the current good wave. After a happy and arduous comeback, they are third, only two points behind the teams ahead of them, Castile and alcorcon, but for the first time in his rise to the top of the First Federation, he has in his hands the possibility of leadership in the standings, because his match opens the day. Two weeks ago, also two points behind the first, then Alcorcón, he only managed to respond on Sunday with a draw against Sanso, to the victories of Alcorcón and Castilla on Saturday.

This time, however, if he wins, he already knows that he will be at the top of the rankings and will keep his fingers crossed waiting for a setback from his direct opponents. Castilla will play two hours after him, who would overtake him again only in case of a win or a draw San Fernando, where he will not be able to count on his centre-forward, Álvaro Rodríguez, who was invited by Real Madrid. And the following morning, Alcorcón, who have won only one of their last five matches, will see them at home with trade unionists who unlocks a new trainer and who he would be forced to defeat if he were to dress up as a leader again.

According to Óscar Cano, the clash between Dépor and Badajoz “is an opportunity to add three more points and see what the others will do. We are still far from the end of the season and I think there will be a lot of changes. I understand that there will be an important change regarding the position. The most important thing is that the path we took allowed us to be here now,” the coach of Granada pointed out, and then emphasized: “Being leaders will not be of vital importance, although it would be important on a mental level, because that would mean concretizing big comeback.”

with a twist Raul Carnero After the team’s recovery, but the loss to suspension of the always transcendental Villares, who joins the injured Jaime, Zalazar and Svensson, the blue and white team will turn to their best possession to defeat an opponent expected to be entrenched, after a month without a win dropped them to just two points from relegation. The return of Santamaría, with whom Deportivo is still discussing a deal, and the speed of his wingers, through whom Adilson runs like hell, become the final obstacle to completing the comeback.
