The recent performance of Cádiz CF has unexpectedly fueled the hopes of teams currently in the relegation zone. The yellow team, positioned eighteenth, is the last club outside the red zone, and their form has been a crucial factor allowing their pursuers to maintain their chances of survival.
With 18 points still to play for in the final stretch of the season, the six-point gap between Cádiz CF and the bottom-placed team keeps the lower end of the table exciting. Teams such as Zaragoza, Huesca, Mirandés, and Cultural Leonesa remain in contention, benefiting from the inconsistency of the Cádiz side, which has avoided relegation spots so far due to their rivals' lack of regularity.
“"We must not throw in the towel, also because Cádiz CF is not doing well."
A former player for Real Zaragoza, renowned for his decisive goal in the 1995 Cup Winners' Cup final, has expressed his belief that the Aragonese team has a chance to avoid relegation. Following Zaragoza's 2-2 draw against Ceuta, the former athlete commented in a local media outlet that Cádiz CF is in an even more precarious situation.
“"They are even worse than us, but you feel helpless in a game against Ceuta that you have to win, and it seems you are afraid to do it. The team, after coming back, retreated, waiting, with two central midfielders, it cannot be... And when it comes to scoring, it costs us our lives to score goals."
The former player, who currently manages the youth academy of Ceuta, believes that Cádiz CF appears very weak, which opens a window of opportunity for Zaragoza. However, he also urged his former team not to rely on others' mistakes but to secure their survival through their own victories.
