Ibiza He quietly said goodbye to the season after closing out permanently last week in his first year in the category and he does so against a Valladolid team that threatened almost everyone to try to get direct promotion in the first division.
Paco Jémez’s team will play their last game at the LaLiga SmartBank home with the peace of mind that their stay ended a few weeks ago. However, the Balearic Islands are under pressure to win the final game to close out the second round where they will not be beaten at home.
Their last loss on their pitch was last December 18 against Real Sporting (0-2) and that led to the dismissal of Juan Carlos Carcedo as coach.
Jémez’s staff should give a good image to their fans after last weekend’s disaster after losing 4-0 to Mirandés. The team played poorly, without rhythm and without enthusiasm.
Jémez will bet on an offensive combination to avoid a difference in motivation, between a rival who will risk everything and another who arrives to have done his homework, from moving to the field.
This Saturday’s match will be a farewell to two of the team’s captains Javi Lara and David Morillas, key players for three years in the Ibizan lineup and the sports entity has already announced that they will no longer be continuing.
Valladolid coach José Rojo “Pacheta”, has the entire squad available, except for Óscar Plano, so his job is to select the most suitable players to face an Ibiza team that also loves to control the ball and the courage. can damage the blanquivioleta group.
In fact, he stressed the importance of “beating Ibiza” because, if a victory is not achieved, “other rivals are doing nothing in the fight for direct promotion” and, in this sense, he recalled that “football has shown that it is volatile and you have to keep hope until the end, but doing what you have to do, which, in this case, is to win”.
“Then we’ll see what happens,” he added, referring to what will happen in the clash between Éibar and Tenerife.
As he warned in the previous one, “what works, it’s better to hold it a little bit, because the players gain confidence and know what they have to do”, so he is expected to maintain the defensive block , with El Yamiq and Joaquín in the middle, who are on the side of Luis Pérez and Nacho, key players in recent games.
There are more doubts about the middle of the field, where Roque Mesa and Aguado will be fixed, but it remains to be seen which teammates are next to him, whether Monchu, to establish a line of three midfielders, or Anuar, who will very decisive in previous league appointments.
What seems clear is that Weissman will only continue at the point of attack – although he has the option to add Sergio León, although everyone is suggesting that he will be the ace on the sleeve for “Pacheta” and will return from the bench. ; and that Iván Sánchez will continue to have the leading role, perhaps, along with Gonzalo Plata, although Toni Villa is another more than feasible option.
The people of Valladolid know that this match will not be easy, because the Ibiza team “is a tough, cheerful, brave rival, one of the most often run and work hard and force them to do their best. Overcome it”, explained the coach from Burgos, who admitted to being a “fan” of his Ibiza namesake, Paco Jémez, that the teams are “always vertical”.
