Play two games against Inter in five days: today to get back on track in the league and Wednesday to access the ‘final four’ of the cup
All or nothing in five days that could bend or complicate the Jimbee Cartagena season. Duda’s team starts today (Palacio de Deportes, 12.00) the double confrontation against Inter Movistar, first to change the negative dynamics in the regular season and next Wednesday to access the ‘final for the first time in its history ‘. of the Copa del Rey.
The meloneros have won just one game in the 2023 calendar year, appearing shortly after the troubling elimination against ElPozo, in the Spanish Cup in Granada, conceding a goal with four seconds remaining. The poor run implies Jimbee’s fall in the domestic league, from battling for the lead to seventh in two months.
Now Duda’s men face two demanding commitments against Inter Movistar in just five days. This Saturday’s game is important to change course in the League and especially to arrive with a good feeling at the Jorge Garbajosa pavilion on Wednesday the 22nd. There, the residents of Cartagena play a single elimination in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey. Three games from that title, the interistas will also attend that appointment with a certain urgency: they won neither the final of the Super Cup nor the final of the Spanish Cup, despite beating Barcelona in the semifinals against all odds . Both clubs therefore play a lot on Wednesdays.
Duda preferred to think about this Saturday before yesterday. “One by one. Each game is a story. We have to face this first and really believe that we are not doing everything so badly, we have many virtues and we are capable of hurting everyone, we have to be more successful sometimes, be consistent and take advantage of the good times,” he said after recalling the “loose numbers” of 2023.
The Brazilian coach stressed the “details”. In the League, the Jimbee have defeated only ElPozo of all title contenders. Defeated against Barcelona (8-1), Jaén (2-6) and Palma (6-3), the difference now is that the team does not arrive “in the box”, with the infirmary empty and only Jesús Izquierdo between cotton . At Inter, the return of former Drahovsky and coach Pato, a good friend of Duda, will be special. The club from Cartagena has won only one match against Inter since May 2006.
