Alberto González under pressure after Albacete’s 1-2 loss to Córdoba

Albacete arrived at the seventh matchday with the mood sharply negative after a run that’s both dragging results down and testing fan patience. The team suffered a 1-2 loss to Córdoba and now sits on 1 point from 18 possible, with six league games without a win (five defeats and one draw). According to MARCA, the situation is especially tough for Alberto González, because in his 100 LaLiga matches with Albacete he had never experienced a start like this.

The defeat that sparks backlash

After the loss, the coach addressed the issue of his job in his press conference. González made it clear that while he accepts a dismissal can come as part of the role, he isn’t thinking about it: “I’m not considering (being sacked).” At the same time, he insisted his reaction will be to keep pushing through training and effort: “Until it happens, I’ll fight here at full throttle… and I hope it’s this Friday.”

Meetings and conditional backing

As MARCA reports, club leadership held several meetings over the weekend to review the situation. The conclusion was to stick with the work done so far, pointing out that the team played good games but lacked the decisive moments—and that results are being held back by an injury crisis. Still, that vote of confidence isn’t unlimited.

A new defeat on Friday, this time against Girona, would almost certainly trigger a different assessment, both on the team’s performance and on whether the coaching direction should be reconsidered.
