Stopping the fall: Luis Hernandez has integrated at an impressive speed in Cadiz

He did not live up to expectations at Maccabi Tel Aviv, but in less than a month became a banker in a team from the senior league in Spain.

While the Yellows await the debut of Joshua Se, the brake is back on track.

And yes, even foreign spending that has become a joke among fans in Israel seems effective in the meantime

Walla!

Summary from the Spanish Cup: Valencia - Cadiz 1: 2 (Sport 2)

Maccabi Tel Aviv continues to wait for the debut of Joshua Se, who joined the team on loan from Ludogorets.

The Portuguese brake may make his debut tonight (Sunday, 20:15, Sport2) 'But while the team is waiting, another brake that is well known to it is already in pretty good shape.

Luis Hernandez left the Yellows less than a month ago.

When he signed for Cadiz on January 31, no fan shed a tear.

The 32-year-old brake arrived in Israel in October 2020 with ambitions to become the next Carlos Garcia, but was far from meeting expectations.

Apart from a winning goal in the overtime of the cup final against Hapoel Tel Aviv, the Yellows will remember from it mainly bad closures of attacking players of the rival teams and barren foreign expenses.

But since signing for the Spanish Premier League team, he has shown improved ability.

To a certain extent, he mentions the player that Maccabi Tel Aviv hoped to get when they signed him.

Since making his FA Cup debut against Valencia three weeks ago, he has started in the squad and completed 90 minutes in three of four games.

Also yesterday in Cadiz's 1-1 draw with Hattafa, Hernandez demonstrated confidence and responsibility that were lacking during his tenure in Israel.

He would not even conquer a gate.

In the previous game, which ended 0-0 with Salta Vigo, his long foreign expenses - which became a joke in Israel - arranged the team its only two scoring situations.

The Andalusian media are praising Hernandez for his first appearances for the team, and also yesterday noted that "he has become a regular car player and a banker in the center of defense, and also helps to endanger the goal through his famous foreign spending."

Another local website wrote that "his wisdom and diversity in defense solve many problems for the team" - even though the team is still ranked 18th, below the red line.

Last week, Hernandez was even given a long profile article, which included compliments on his foreign spending.

"The Cadiz coach has decided to use his foreign spending strategically. The team makes extensive use of this tool," they noted.

"There is no doubt that Hernandez is one of the best outfielders in the world of football. Thanks to him, Cadiz can become not only a better defensive team, but also a much more dangerous attacking team."

At the same time, Hernandez is also managing the legal battle against Malaga from Spain, which he left with a slam on the door in 2020 before signing for Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Hernandez has previously filed a € 4.5 million lawsuit against the group claiming he was not paid salaries and bonuses promised to him, but the lawsuit was dismissed.

Hernandez is now suing the club again, demanding compensation of 115,000 euros for the club releasing him without prior notice.
