Defensive ability is another key to Deportivo’s unstoppability.

Deportivo are enjoying their best moment of the season after connecting six victories in a row and only one point behind the leader. The Idiaques have particularly shined in recent matches, scoring no less than 17 goals in the last four matches after victories over Osasuna Promesas (0-4), Tarazona (4-1), Logrones (1-5) and Fuenlabrada (4-1). In this triumphant sextet, the forwards shine and attract attention. Barbero with five goals in three starts and a hat-trick full of class. Imperial Lucas Perez with six goals and the same number of assists. O Alkaina, two goals in the first two matches from the bench. A display of a strike that leaves the team’s defensive structure in the background, but it is no less important in explaining the blue and white’s resurgence.

The successful streak coincided with the start of the second round, which started against Ponferradina, who arrived in Riazor as a leader. against Depor, who were eliminated from the playoffs. The Idiaques players were much better and won 2-0, managing to keep a clean sheet after seven days in a row where they conceded a goal. This defensive ability could have been maintained if they had not conceded a single goal against Logrones (0-5) and Osasuna Promesas (0-4), while they conceded a goal in three other matches: Celta Fortuna (1 –2), Fuenlabrada (4–1). ) and Tarazona (4-1). Three goals in six matches, in which only the blue reserve team was able to put the blue and white goal at some risk.

This improvement in protection is also reflected in numbers. Deportivo conceded 19 goals in 25 matches. This is a controversial figure, with only Ponferradina (15), Nastic (16) and Unionistas (18) improving. But this feeling is higher because the opponents cannot create a danger for Germán Parreño. In the last duel, for example, He left Tajonar without receiving a dangerous shot on goal. Alicante goalkeeper shines in the air (he did not receive a single strategic goal) and on the way out with the ball thanks to good footwork. This calmness is very reminiscent of the beginning of the championship, in which Germán had almost no work to do and was unbeaten in the first three games.

The blue and white goalkeeper is the last person responsible for this trajectory, but not the only one. After the recovery, Ximo Idiaques found his starting defense in the form of Granada striker Pablo Vazquez, Pablo Martinez and Balenciaga.. The apartment room works like clockwork and the second block operates at a high level when there are sanctions or injuries, as happened in the last games with the release of Dani Barcia or Jaime. FrontThe double pillar formed by José Angel and Villares ensures deployment, looting and security. A whole network that starts with the offensive pressure of the forwards with the notable play of Mella and Eremaj, who shine in attack and work in defense.

Contribution The deportivist defense does not end with defense, it also plays a key role in the attack, providing assists and goals.. In the last game against Osasuna Promesas, in the first two goals the two full-backs were passers. The 1-0 was a cross from Balenziaga, and the 2-0 came from the other flank thanks to a superb pass from Simo, with Barbero the final recipient on both occasions. In turn, the starting center backs score goals. Pablo Martinez opened the fight against Fuenlabrada when Lucas Perez headed in a corner kick. Pablo Vazquez also opened the scoring for Balaidos. while resolving a play that started with a sideline foul by Lucas. Both repeated the scenario against Tarazonathis time with a foul and a direct header to reverse the 1:1 score reflected on the scoreboard and lead to victory for the blue and white.
