When Jesé was presented on February 3 at the Gran Canaria Stadium, he did it with little bit more than 100 minutes of official game on his legs throughout 2020. When Jesé made his debut against Cartagena, he did so after having participated in five games in the last fourteen months. When Jesé played for the first time in 2021, it had already been almost two months since the first pandemic chimes and it had been more than a year since he had played soccer for more than an hour at a time.
That was the context in which Jesé returned to UD with the public intention of feeling like a footballer again And that’s why I thought that was going to happen by going home to Gran Canaria. In what was from that February 17 to the close of the 20-21 season, the ex-madridista would play 16 games harvesting figures quite far from a peak too far away in time for the imprint of its beginnings.
Yes OK at the end of the season he only accumulated two goals and two assists, Pius XII’s club entrusted him with the lead. He got rid of Araujo and gave the captaincy letter to who now wears the yellow 10 and began the football season 21-22 with renewed illusions. This would help to be able to continue his stay at a club, something that had not happened since the 15-16 season. Since he left Madrid he had not repeated a club.
In a UD finishing being made, the season began from the bench. But something was changing. If in 20-21 it took him seven days to see the door, this time he would do it at six minutes. He entered as a substitute before a recently fallen to the silver category such as Valladolid and would score a goal and give a point to Las Palmas.
Two days later, he would debut his title and repeat a goal. While in recent years Jesé did not stand out for the smell he showed in Castilla back in 2012-2013, when he scored 22 goals and gave 12 assistance in Second, this season at UD they rubbed their hands with the possibility of recovering one of the most distinguished young people of his generation.
Rodríguez, named Jesé, took a place in Mel’s eleven. And not only because of what it was, the kid who went from the Hurricane to Real Madrid, It seemed to reconnect with its former relationship with the rival goal. Until his break against Lugo, In the next seven games, he scored one goal and assisted five times.
After that meeting, Las Palmas would experience one of the first key moments of the season, after a painful defeat after the victory in extremis in the derby, the yellow ones would see how many of the pieces that had raised him to the privileged zone were falling and just when the calendar was tightening.
Nevertheless, in the next three games Jesé led a UD without an important part of an alignment that was curdling. And it was precisely in those weeks when the yellow ones reached the highest. Everything came was related to the three, because three were consecutive victories, third his place in the standings and three were the goals that Jesé had scored.
We were at the beginning of November and he had already surpassed his scoring records in the league since 12-13 when he was the new promise of Real Madrid. He was even improving by a goal at this point in the season those numbers.
And suddenly, when Las Palmas faced the end of the year with an eye on direct promotion, the break came, in yellow and Jesé. In the next seven games, 5 points out of 21 and no goals and no assist from Jesé. And his team notices it.
Since he reached the third place, Las Palmas seems to have left the bellows in Oviedo. Although the team saved against Leganés, they continued to play the same. But without a goal. Seeming to live in self-fulfilling prophecy, because it is paradoxical that at sixth highest scoring team he lacks a goal. And that’s where his team needs Jesé the most.
