Pezzolano fired, and Francisco will replace him | Relief
Valladolid decided to do without Paulo Pezzolano after a heavy defeat at José Zorrilla from Atletico Madrid (0-5). But it was not only about it, even predictable given the circumstances, but, above all, about the ways in which it was closed (0-5). The fans could not stand it and repeatedly called for the resignation of Ronaldo Nazario and the dismissal of their coach. Despite being promoted a few months ago, the atmosphere of tension is at its highest and results are not only unstable, but also critical. As Relevo advances, The coach was in a difficult position and Francisco was the main option. In fact, the club has already met with a possible replacement to test the situation.
Valladolid is at the bottom of the First Division standings with just nine points from 15 days played.. They are currently the team with the most goals in the category (32) as well as the fewest scorers (10), with the same number of goals as Getafe. The feeling is bad, very bad, but the truth is that the results of the other candidates for relegation are also not what they dreamed of. This means that Pucelano’s team is only four points away from saving the furniture.a quite manageable figure, given that the competition has not even reached the halfway mark yet.
However, being close to consistency does not guarantee anything, and Pezzolano’s patience has already run out. The team has not won in the league since October 18 last year against Deportivo Alaves. Along the way, they managed to qualify for the next round of the Copa del Rey against Astur, but they left behind very valuable points and the “average goal” in particular was difficult. with direct rivals to avoid burns, such as Getafe (2-0), Leganes (3-1) or Rayo Vallecano (1-2)..
In addition, the team gives a feeling of giving up, which is manifested in victories, for example, over Barcelona (7-0) or Atlético Madrid itself (0-5). On this final evening, the fans went so far as to cheer their opponent on: celebrate goals like Antoine Griezmann’s and leave the field before the final whistle. There was also room for protest, although it concerned more the figure of Ronaldo Nazario, and not so much the figure of Pezzolano.
“We showed disrespect to the fans and the city. We internally think that with the help of this pattern we can be saved. We are a big family inside. All responsibility lies with me. They don’t know me, if I didn’t have the strength, I wouldn’t be here. Today the team was worse. There is no one who could take away my strength,” the coach said after finishing.
“We disrespected the fans and the city.”
Real Valladolid coach
The coach was always subject to sharp criticism from fans, although he enjoyed the full trust of management. Even though the team was fighting for direct promotion, Pezzolano’s behavior put him at odds with the public, and they called for his departure even at the team’s best moment. Moreover, during the match, as a result of which Real Valladolid entered the first division, shouts were heard against the Uruguayan. He subsequently laughed it off by singing at City Hall during the celebration: “Pezzolano, resignation.”.
The immobile coach, against all odds, overcame this process and began the season as the leader of the First Division. But the results condemned him and even ruined his relationship with the man who always supported him. At the moment he is on the verge, but now It is even doubtful that he will sit on the bench in the Copa del Rey match against Real Avila. next Tuesday, December 3rd. Francisco is the favorite to replace him.
