The squad of UD Almería has been the subject of analysis on the program 'La Voz del Almería' on Cadena SER, where experts such as Juan José Melero (sports manager), Esteban Andrés (former goalkeeper and commentator), and Francis Miras (manager of Ego Sport Center) shared their perspectives on the team's performance. Despite having a squad considered high-level for the Second Division, inconsistency has been a recurring theme in the discussion.
Juan José Melero expressed concern over the team''s inconsistency, suggesting that while direct promotion is still a remote possibility, the more likely path is through the Play-Offs. He pointed out that the current squad does not justify the disappointing results seen at times this season.
“"We cannot reach the extreme we have reached with the squad we have."
Esteban Andrés, based on Second Division statistics, emphasized that a team conceding many goals rarely achieves the promotion objective. He highlighted the importance of improving the defensive aspect, a weak point that has persisted since last season, to be more effective in the Play-Offs.
“"It's a problem that Almería has been facing since last season. It's an area to improve for the Play-Offs. We need to be effective, and effectiveness comes from conceding few goals."
Francis Miras shared his disappointment after the recent defeat against Las Palmas, expressing concern about the Play-Offs. He believes the team performs significantly worse away from home and that Almería's squad is superior to that of Deportivo.
Journalists Carlos Miralles and Rafa Góngora, from LA VOZ and Cadena SER, added that the team has the dual task of boosting locker room morale and securing the necessary points in the remaining two matches to solidify third place, thus preparing for the promotion phase.
“"It's time to change the mindset, it's time for the Play-Offs."
Rafa Góngora described the last matchday as a 'nightmare,' with adverse results complicating direct promotion. Hope now lies in winning the upcoming games and hoping that Deportivo does not earn any points.
