Las Palmas receives the executioner cup bearer of Tenerife

Deporpress Editorial | Las Palmas receives the executioner cup bearer of Tenerife. The twists and turns of the championship are constant. Before receiving Getafe, UD Las Palmas had the opportunity to place their border line of permanence 9 points from the penalty zone. To do this he had to win and he didn't. Just two days later, also as a result of the reaction in the classification cauldron, the yellows face the visit of Osasuna with a 3-point advantage over that same fire.

There is no time to waste. So far in 2025 it has not been possible to win a match, although the sensations may have their own contradictions. There was nothing to object to in the defeats against Elche or Real Madrid, either score was unquestionable. And there would be a lot to clarify about the improvements that should have been applied in the loss against Getafe.

But those injuries should not determine what is going to happen in a stage of the championship where tranquility can arrive or unrest emerge. Las Palmas receives a rival that also has its own debates because there have already been eight days of competition in which it has not managed to win. And in Pamplona there is talk of the visit to Gran Canaria as an opportunity to reestablish good dynamics.

Diego Martínez has to remake concepts in the block that will play against the Navarrese, in Friday's event at the Gran Canaria Stadium. Cillessen has had a lot of work recently and that is not a good sign. The theoretical starting block is rebuilt with the return of Dario Essugo to his position in the team's engine room, to provide the muscle that was lacking in abundance against Real Madrid. That is the main novelty on which other decisions by the coach could revolve, with special attention to the quartet of defenders. Martínez has to find the key so that Las Palmas can once again be more reliable and, also, just as effective as in the reaction matches.

Another of the attractions of the match is the fit of the latest reinforcement, the Frenchman Andy Pelmard. Coach Diego Martínez has admitted that his incorporation into the League championship is immediate, although he has yet to define the role he is given: If he is a central defender or occupies one of the two sides, because in all positions UD needed a replacement , according to the estimate of the sports management.

But the priority is the game. Very important points are at stake, because we must cut a dynamic that does nothing to help confidence and because the walker knows that the path is found by walking. He has no other choice.
