Umar Sadiq has returned and Almería appreciates it, returning to the path of victory, including as a visitor, something that they had not achieved for three months before. After performing the second half in Oviedo practically after getting off the plane back from Cameroon, Umar Sadiq has scored two goals in the last two games, also causing two other penalties, actions that have brought six points to Rubi’s men. His influence on the rojiblanco game is total, making your teammates better even participating in the creation phase, going down to the center of the field to play with his back and open on the wings. The Kaduna striker’s hunger is maximum and although he doesn’t have it easy at all, the idea of attacking the Pichichi is around his mind as long as he continues with positive numbers.
The rojiblanco striker adds ten goals (not counting one cupbearer), for the fortnight of Stuani and Rubén, with Borja Bastón, Stoichkov and Weissman in the middle, with fourteen, thirteen and eleven, respectively. Except for Stuani, Sadiq’s average is similar to that of other names, with 0.45 goals per game (0.56 for the Girona striker). The reason is because the Nigerian missed half a dozen league games for the Africa Cup of Nations, coinciding with the losing streak in the Indálica. In fact, Almería always wins if the one from Kaduna scores, as has happened in the nine games he has seen the goal; however, there is no ‘Sadiq dependency’, since the rojiblancos have achieved another seven victories without having scored the African.
Sadiq reached twenty goals last season, disputing Pichichi until the end: he was three goals behind Stuani himself and two behind Djurdjevic. The figure was projected up to 28 goals in that season 20-21 also scoring two in the Cup and six at the start of the season with Partizan Belgrade before landing at the Mediterranean Games Stadium. With 33 official goals, he is already the club’s tenth all-time goalscorer, being able to overtake Luna, Sousa and Crusat this season if he continues at this pace, since the Jerez-born player reached 39, a figure that Sadiq will probably reach in the coming months.
