There is no debate in UD with Pimienta: “Of course the season will end”

In fact, one of the priorities of the future project is that he continues to lead the team in the 2024-25 campaign, a wish that is still not completely guaranteed despite the fact that there is a signed contract.

Pimienta knows that she has the full support of the entity, shield that has been hard-earned for the objectives achieved since he arrived in January 2022: first promotion playoff, then direct promotion and, in the current campaign, a premature permanence (not yet mathematical but virtual for months).

And, based on that certainty, try to find solutions. He is the first to know that he is part of a guild that is a slave to results. and that, in other circumstances, these recent parameters would put him on the brink of dismissal, but at UD his credit in the short and medium term is shielded from the accidents of the competition.

However, there is confidence that the next matches will bring a very different fate for UD in terms of results. Because, apart from very specific matches (the 5-0 defeat against Atlético de Madrid or the defeat at home against Almería), there is no alarming decline in collective performance or any indication that leads one to think of a collapse without a solution.

The proof is in the last two games, with Champions rivals like Barcelona and Sevilleand despite an early numerical inferiority in both cases, there were options to catch a point until the end, since both in Montjuic and in Gran Canaria, with disadvantages by the minimum on the scoreboard, scoring opportunities were generated that could have changed the final sign of these duels. It is the best indication that, regardless of markers, commitment, intensity and drive continue to be distinctive features of the squad.

UD also wants to value at this time the treasure that constitutes some 37 points that are equivalent to safeguarding the place in the highest category. The immediate objective is one more victory that allows us to add those 40 that already resolve any riskbut having crossed this hole and remaining in twelfth place, a warm area of ​​the tableillustrates a stability forged previously and that now resists the onslaught of the crisis which all teams end up going through. In the case itself it was at the beginning of the course and now, something that would have been signed in the summer considering that in the predominant section of the competition it has been compliant and with a result still in force.
