Albacete Balompié

The first one, thankfully, has got the medical clearance.

a Sabadell player in the Albacete game.

But again, how long it will take him to get back to footballing fitness as opposed to just medical clearance is yet to be determined, but we wish them well.

Yes, absolutely, absolutely.

There were red cards aplenty across the matchday.

Albacete climbed off bottom spot.

Granada made it five wins in a row and Castellon could only draw away in El Planteo.

We'll discuss all that and much more in this week's show.

Celta Fortuna played out an eventful 2-2 draw with Cordoba.

Two red cards for the away side saw them end the game with nine, but they managed to come back twice to pick up a point.

Joseba Echeverria got his second win in a row as Albacete coach.

As they climbed off the bottom of the table, Albacete, two first-half own goals from Sabadell, put El Queso Mecanico ahead before sending off Jose Corpas in a horrendous incident that saw Quadri Llamid knocked out and leave the pitch in an ambulance.

Matt.

Okay, so I believe he is from Albacete and started at Albacete.

He did start Albacete.

He's from Eximadora.

Was he? Yeah.

Came through, is it Sonsana? Was the club he played for before Albacete.

But his professional career started in Castilla Mancha.

Okay.

And some of them don't meet the criteria, so they've had to be moved.

So we're going to have a bit of a surreal one this week because Valencia... have had their game reversed so they're now going to be the away side at Mestalla to tally back to Valencia but in general I think it's good because you're seeing like lower league teams we saw Alcayano they beat Real Madrid we saw Mirandes go all the way to the semi-finals in that very first edition and And we have seen like Albacete last season, they beat Real Madrid.

So we have seen a lot of shocks and we have seen a lot of gains now where actually there is more jeopardy on the line.

There is some sort of downside.

But they are below us, so that's all that counts.

And the other three relegation spots are Real Sociedad B, eight points, Thuta on five, and Albacete with that win, as Matt said, their first win of the season, bottom-butt, four points.

They've won a game finally.

Looking above us, three teams are on 12 points.

How's it go? We're never going to forget about El Clasico.

It goes, oh yeah, you're the best at beating Albacete and you're the best at beating Valencia at home.

I beat you.

That's what I do.

And then out of the blue, Pep decides that, oh, Because Madrid are at home.

Albacete, Osasuna, Mallorca, Celta Vigo are all getting good results against Madrid.

That is a time to revert an attacking midfielder who had rediscovered his wealth

back into

Yes.

He also, uh, coached them to a defeat to Albacete in the Copa del Rey, uh, which was, um, the best team in the world.

So it's, they've, they've adjusted, and I think they showed some re- really worrying signs earlier on in the season, and they're showing a, a couple of other worrying signs that they're, they're just not taking their big chances, and you're wondering where the goals are gonna come from.

And they're just being punished at moments.
