The weight of Riazor against the illusion of Linares

After the first train to Second, the direct ascent, eight teams search in Galicia get hold of the other two tickets distributed by the playoff. Two of them are Deportivo and Linares, that tonight the faces will be seen in Riazor (9:00 p.m.) in a semi-final as exciting as the dimension of the grotesque final of the Federation with the change of platform to broadcast the match. The favorite poster falls on the Coruñeses for a handful of reasons. For budget, history, template or for playing at home with the encouragement of some 25,000 blue and white fans against the 600 brave blues who will accompany their team in the A Coruña stadium. To these factors we must add the one that they have gained those of Borja Jimenez when finishing the league as seconds, which allows you to overcome the tie if everything, including extra time, ends in a draw.

Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, football is many times far from what can be considered logical; that’s already caught the enormous illusion of Linares. Another poster, the one designed by the Jaen club to motivate its fans, shows off a celebration photo of that legendary Depor that in 2002 starred in the famous Centenariazo at the Bernabéu. ORn souvenir with a photo of the Tower of Hercules in the background and a clear message: “Higher towers have fallen”. A motto for a team that arrives as covered, but that he does it with the moral impulse to get into the playoffs on the last day and the credit of being the best of the 40 First RFEF clubs in the last ten days from the regular league. If someone doesn’t want to be warned, that’s their problem.

The cards to play with the very important game tonight in Riazor they also seem quite determined. Borja Jimenezsince the signing of the idolized Antoñito, has been recovering players, relocating pieces and polishing his starting team in recent weeks. His gala eleven is expected, with Defense Chief Lapeña, brain juergen and the devastating couple of strikers that form Quiles and Miku. A clear plan, with Mario Soriano and Granero in the role of possible surprises. No big news is expected from Alberto González either. The exotic Razak will keep the sticks, Carracedo will attack the band, Butcher of arrival and the goal, of course, will be a thing of Extaniz. Pending the chess pieces, a game is expected with a Depor that will seek to press and dominate against a dangerous Linares in transitions, one of the headaches of the Coruñeses this season. All or nothing with the prize final on the horizon.
