Racing de Ferrol are currently second in Segunda with 37 points after 21 matches. Ferrol most recently beat Valladolid, 0-1 in the league and beat Leganes 1-0 to advance to this leg of the Copa Del Rey.
Very true, we have to show and contradict that we are even close to that segunda level. And generally we have not shown up much at all when needed, except the Granada game.
They might even beat us in professionalism. Could really be a deception today. But let’s not think like that beforehand.
They aren’t even pressuring that hard on someone about to receive. and our first idea is to pass back. Really need people to open up quicker and be smarter in their first touches. We look so basic.
Their goalie seems vulnerable too.
We hardly can even hold a ball in the midfield it’s pathetic.
Only downside when he caught speed his turning circle is half the pitch. And his passing is risky, but they are hard passes and looking for something, showing initiative, so I’m a fan too.
I don’t think anybody found him bad anyway, just the endless absence and string of small muscle and minor injuries, didn’t seem to stop. So he became a running joke. But if he’s there. He shows up.
