‘Houston, we have a problem’ is a popular but misleading quote from a phrase uttered by astronaut Jack Swigert during the bumpy Apollo 13 journey, just after observing a warning light accompanied by a blast, at 9:08 p.m. CST on April 13, 1970. They are about to turn 51 years of that but if we apply it to what is happening to FC Cartagena it would be perfectly valid and current. Let’s see why.
The popular phrase was pronounced on April 13, 1970, when the three NASA astronauts of the Apollo 13 mission, two days after takeoff, were forced to abandon their plans to make the third manned moon landing due to the explosion of the oxygen tanks. .
The fuel cells that provided electricity, water, oxygen and light failed when the astronauts were approximately 200,000 miles from Earth. From that moment on, their only objective was to return home alive. If the metaphor is valid, it is the same objective that from now on awaits this Cartagena to which, now, all the alarms in its crew go off.
The survival of the Apollo 13 crew was one of the most celebrated triumphs of American spaceflight of the 20th century. And the survival of Efesé in the Smartbank League would be as celebrated as the promotion of La Rosaleda in the last month of July.
That day in Houston, Cape Canaveral they were so worried, something similar should be happening in Cartagena …
Of course, for this, we are going badly yes …
- It’s so darn badly posed Albinegro midfield, with a Ramón Azeez that many fans are still wondering if he helped or hindered Rubén Castro
- At 13 minutes it is committed again another absurd penalty for hands. Has no one explained to these players that the ball, if it is touched with the hand inside the area, is a penalty? Well, we already have six maximum penalties for different reasons
- In minute 18 we conceded a second goal and at 21 minutes Las Palmas, in addition to the goals, had already generated three other clear chances to have scored.
- Bad we go also if the Georgian Aburjania He is incapable of putting a leg in, making it necessary, doing something, not staring and acting to prevent Pejiño from doing whatever he wants, until he cheats with his left hand that caused a major anger in Chichizola. Reason was not lacking for the Argentine goal. More blood Mr. Aburjania, more blood, that here, in Spain, we do not have horchata.
- Not even with you without you it can be said that, to date, our ills have a remedy. The ‘Carrión effect’ If there ever was one, it has already happened and it is a priority to recover it as soon as possible.
- We are also going badly because the main problem lies in the terrible first lap what did this Cartagena. The only thing that is certain is that we will suffer, and a lot, until the end.
Carrión admits having made a mistake in the preparation of the starting eleven. Ramón Azeez and Aburjiana are sure failures but our question is: just them or will we see a revolution against Leganés? Because changes we already say that there will be insurance.
- If this team shows so little intensity, what years ago was called ‘laying eggs‘. With attitudes like those offered by the Albinegro team in Las Palmas, except for a few, it is sung that this team is meat of descents
- ¿The coach hasn’t realized yet that we failed on the second plays? What do we not win one?
- We warn. Bad go if certain footballers seem that they were not playing anything. Genius, claw, courage, heart, fight and desire is what we miss.
- A desperate ending that could have been even worse yes our ‘friend‘Extremadura referee Hernández Maeso, in collaboration with the VAR, does not cancel what was even celebrated by the Canarian footballers as 3-0.
So yeah yeah. Houston, we have a problem.
