Duda’s men end the year in Mallorca with no chance of qualifying in the cup, after two heavy defeats and with the losses of Chemi, Juanpi and Meira
Jimbee Cartagena lowers the blind for 2022 tonight (Son Moix, 8:30pm) with a not-so-important game in Mallorca. The Cartagena side will end the year with no chance of qualifying in the Spanish Cup after two consecutive victories: 8-1 against Barcelona and 2-6 a few days ago against Jaén. Today’s rival, Palma, has done its homework and a draw is mathematically enough to secure second place.
Jimbee has slipped from sharing the lead with Barcelona to fifth in just ten days. It could go up to sixth place if Valdepeñas win and Duda’s don’t. The melon coach has “a thousand excuses” to justify the fall, starting with injuries. Tonight he has the safe losses of Juanpi, Meira and Chemi, the latter due to suspension. For a long time it was time to attract young people and boys with few high-level military officers, such as Amín and Gallego. Yes, Javivi returns.
Jimbee has lost to all the major teams they have faced (with the exception of ElPozo), hard hit by losses: Movistar Inter (4-1), Valdepeñas (5-2), Barcelona (8-1) and Jaen (2 -6). At the most demanding moment of the season, the worst slip has arrived. Today there is the opportunity to take revenge.
«You should not see the match as a final, but as a delicate moment. We have a thousand excuses to give, injuries and players who return and are out of work for a long time […] But we can’t concede 14 goals, 9 of them in substitutions, in two games. We have the capacity to defend those situations much better. We need to repair those large facilities.” Jimbee has added to this drop in results the difficulty of seeing the mark, going a month without scoring more than two goals.
Palma awaits in Mallorca, which has practically secured its place at the top of the series. The Balearic Islands are the league’s top scorers with 61 goals ahead and remain undefeated at Son Moix, where they have won everything. Even Barcelona did not add at the time (4-2), nor did Inter (5-4). In March, the Jimbee attacked the same track as it went through a three-day slump without winning (1-2). After this, Palma linked ten games unbeaten. Duda wants to participate in “40 minutes”, “give a surprise” and “have a happier Christmas”.
