Elady gives a point to a Tenerife without an antidote against Andorra
Andorra arrived at Heliodoro and could have done more damage to Tenerife if they did not find a great goal from Elady – the only merit of a frustrating match for Ramis’s team – who neutralized the visitors’ goal after a play in which he took out the colors to the locals after half an hour without knowing how to counter Eder Sarabia’s strategy.
Unable to dominate the half game, only active when they conceded the 0-1, at the start of the second act and in a last spasm when Shashoua decided to show up with the leads, Tenerife was left in confusion for not knowing the antidote with which put the meeting to their liking and the restlessness of the parish, desperate for the deactivation that opposed the deliberate slowness with which each Andorra attack started.
In the times of a thousand analyzes and millions of data, a football where everything has been studied a priori in which a guy like Elady – a check, two cuts and a cross shot that is unattainable for the goalkeeper – returns you to the essence of In this game to put an end to so much misunderstood calculation, Tenerife seemed to be facing a rival from the antipodes with everything to discover.
If not, it is inexplicable the third of the game that Ramis’s group and the coach himself threw into the trash can, unable to understand the traps that Andorra set up for him when he started an attack from the feet of Nico Ratti. Sarabia has the wingers –because playing with pure wingers has not yet been prohibited– magnetized to the touchline, puts the full-backs in line with the rival midfielders, forget of the six – Jandro’s resources as a allfielder splendid excel in another phase of the script – and leaves the ball to the center-backs to play cat and mouse against the forwards.
With such an unusual scheme, Andorra would determine and arrange in which Tenerife threw the first line of pressure on Alende and Mika Mármol and his four defenders were nailed thirty meters from Soriano. Recklessly long, Gallego or Romero unable to decide without going after Alende or Mika as they passed the ball, suddenly the second started with a very vertical drive that exceeded two lines until finding the coming of Carlos Martínez in unloading or a change of direction so that Germán Valera could invent something.
At that moment, Tenerife ran after the ball, arrived late to the fights, stole as best he could with his frayed suit to build a counter and ended up tilted to one flank with the opposite neglected. As in the genesis of the 0-1, which caught Dauda out of place and Martí Vilá with a moor to put it in the area, where Carlos Martínez had already beaten Sergio’s back to head almost under the goal.
And when he was able to catch him in a turn because he was bitten, Andorra resorted to the football of a lifetime. Two dangerous-looking drives from Mo Dauda ended with the Ghanaian knocked down and sent cards. A lack in time, an opportune short circuit.
Only when he pushed hard and began to make mistakes for Andorra, did the light come to Tenerife. From a steal by José Ángel at the start and a short pass from Nacho, Elady was left with the ball on the side of the area so that she could dare with the luck she manages best and enjoys the most. From the outside in, she put it on her foot, feinted with two cuts and hit a poisoned right hand that was impossible for Nico Ratti.
The 1-1 closed the wound until the break and the pause gave Tenerife air and resources for ten promising minutes that could turn the tide. Now aggressive and with the ball to play directly, a ball rained into the area by Aitor Sanz (m.48) was rejected short by Ratti, but Sipcic’s next shot was met with opposition from Alti almost under the sticks. In the next arrival in the race (m.52), with Mo Dauda on the street of ten to assist Nacho, the shot from the side was well answered by the goalkeeper. Since then, the game has been plummeted by more changes from Ramis and Sarabia.
The first local was three and inane. Aitor Sanz, Nacho and Romero were ironed. Buñuel complied in his natural position – like Javi Alonso pairing up with José Ángel – and Borja Garcés emerged who, if anything, can expect a shot from him, little more. With a quarter of an hour and extra time, Shashoua entered for a cramped Mo Duada. The Englishman made a couple of compliments with some sense, but everything that ended up on loan to the area did not find a shot that went down well with him.
And with five to go, Appiah set foot on the pitch at Heliodoro –for what seems like the last time– to confirm the saying about how footballers are priced in Argentina. With Teto and Waldo absent due to injury, Corredera was also available, but Corredera did not play.
