Bilbao Athletic is still mired in a deep crisis. The rojiblanca board dismissed Arosteg Bingeni on November 21 after losing against Barça B (2-0) at the stadium Johan Cruyff and appointed in his place Alex Pallares. The team has improved its performance, but the results have not yet arrived, with two defeats -Osasuna Promises (3-2) and Atlético Baleares (0-1)- and as many -Cornellà in Lezama (2-2) and Alcoyano away (3-3)- in the Catalan’s four games in charge of the bench. The bad run has now reached nine days without achieving a victory. The last victory began on October 9, when Intercity was defeated in field 2 of the rojiblancas’ facilities.
The classification is an honest reflection of these poor results. So the rojiblanco’s second team, penultimate in place, moved away from staying in the First Federation after losing on Sunday against the Palma de Mallorca team. There are already five points separating him from fifteenth place, the first in safety, which Intercity occupied exactly after sixteen days played. It is the greatest distance when more than a third of the competition is played.
The cubs have been consistently occupying the red zone since day nine, when they lost to Murcia at home. In the next two games they drew against Numancia and Nástic, but a 2-0 draw against the Catalans put the team still led by arostegiwith two points about staying positions.
From there, everything got worse. Three points away after losing against the subsidiary of rojillo and drawing with Cornellà, four after the 3-3 extremis achieved in Alcoy, a very disappointing result after winning 0-2, and now five before facing the last three from the first round, where the reaction has to come to maintain the options of continuing another campaign in the third category of state football.
The Pallarés team hosts SD Logroñés this Sunday, ninth-ranked, visit Sabadell (17th) on January 8 and close the first part of the Liga by hosting Real Unión (12th) by David Movilla on the 15th of the first month of the year.
Schedule change
The club announced the change in the appointment schedule against La Rioja on Sunday. It will be played at noon instead of in the afternoon as planned to possibly avoid clashing with the World Cup final in Qatar, which starts at four in the afternoon.
