It’s been many months since it started to be heard in the stadium José Zorrilla Pezzolano’s cry, resignation! but, after a painful match against Racing Club Ferrol, it became an outcry from Blanquivioleta fans, demanding a change of coach to redirect the team.
He Uruguayan coach, Paulo Pezzolano, He never fit in with the followers of the Valladolid team. Arrived to replace José Rojo “Pacheta” with the aim of keeping it in the First Division, and they didn’t succeed, so, from the beginning, they got off on the wrong foot.
The truth is that the Real Valladolid board has not been seen guarding arms with such enthusiasm towards the man in charge of the bench. Only the club managers know why. And maybe it’s time to admit our mistakes, and put aside all that defensiveness, because there are hardly any nails left to hold.
Although the “guide” to the entity, as Pezzolano himself has been mentioned on many occasions, seems to have been effective behind closed doors, it has not yet been transferred to the field of play, as it rarely enjoys a good game from the Blanquivioleta squad.
The fact that he emphasized the ideological “heritage” that he will leave the club, with changes in activities, and in delivering the values of respect and commitment towards it, as a fundamental basis for growth, is not Liked. of fans..
It was understood that he gave more importance to this “background” structure than to promotion, and the reaction was immediate. The limited capacity for self-criticism did not help either, although it is true that, after the clash against Andorra, who also knew how to remove the “shame” of the people of Valladolid, he declared “mea culpa.”
The numbers don’t lie. And they are fattening a season in which Real Valladolid should hit the table from the first moment, because it probably has the best team in the Second Division, and one of the biggest budgets.
Alarm bells have been ringing for the Blanquivioleta team’s four-day winless streak, which they broke when they defeated Cartagena in the sixth, and strung together four consecutive wins, which They gave wings to Pezzolano’s team. But despite the good result, the game was not convincing.
There is no continuity or regularity in the field of play. It is surprising that, in matches that were not good, the Uruguayan made late changes. His approach was also misunderstood with respect to some players, who changed wings or positions.
A 5-1 drubbing by Eibar unleashed more criticism, and they then went on to win four more games. Until Levante came and overruled him again. Pezzolano gave too much credit to the players who, not that they did not offer anything, but even reduced.
And the winter market came, which brought exchanges. The additions of César Tárrega, Biuk, Negredo or Amath They were taken as a second chance towards the latter part of the campaign. And, above all, the sa Amath Ndiaye, that brought some hope.
But even though the Blanquivioletas won 3-0 against Oviedo, they didn’t listen the chants against Pezzolano. At that point, few still believed in miracles. More than anything else, because appointment after appointment accumulated the non-excuses.
The finishing touch was made by the last match against the Galicians, who had already won the first round. Due to A Malata, Real Valladolid did not play. He even allowed himself the luxury of missing a penalty, deciding launch Marcos André, reappeared after five months of injury.
Inability to react. Apparently, the many coaching staff of club led by Ronaldo Nazário He is working hard on the emotional aspect, but it is clear that this has not spread to the squad, because that setback is devastating the troops of the Uruguayan coach.
As he himself said, “everything went wrong”, against a Ferrol Racing that showed more pride, intention and hunger than the visitors, leaving Pezzolano against the ropes, although in this case the ring seemed more big, and the referee of the battle continues. in his favor.
Everything indicates that the management will add another “round” so that the team returns to positions that allow them to continue dreaming of promotion – because, now, it is outside the playoff zone -, with the two consecutive games Real Valladolid will play at home against two heavyweights such as Eibar and Levante.
If six points were added, the balance would tilt, once again, to the Uruguayan side. If it continues to free fall, there is no longer any reason to maintain it, and it will be important to seek a solution from another technician, no matter how much Pezzolano can contribute in the growth of the institution, because it is the results that provide the promotion.
