A crusher. Gimnástica Segoviana dominates its Tercera group with an iron fist. A seamless career, with a lot of victories and only two goals conceded, make him a rival to consider for Girona, who will visit La Albuera thinking more about the League than the Cup and with the less usual. Those of Manu González have won everything. Scoring almost always, without mercy. The last victory, a 4-0 this past weekend against Real Burgos. Àlex Campos, a 23-year-old Empordà goalkeeper who is just living his first adventure outside Catalonia, suffered in the first person. “It’s a team from Second B to Third,” says Roses without hesitation. And it goes without saying that the eliminatory one, in a single match, is not at all decided by the difference in category, but that Gymnastics has real options. The goalkeeper had played for the Girona Division of Honor youth team, and has also played for Olot, Pobla de Mafumet, Palamós, Figueres and La Jonquera.
Campos highlights Segoviana’s “extensive squad”, full of “good players”, most of them with the level to play a step above. “He has won a lot of games by a landslide and he hardly fits. It’s a very serious block, which comes out playing from behind whenever it can. He explains that, seeing the performance and quality, the goal of the Segovia team “is not to make the play-offs, but to go up directly”. “They have shown that they can do it without problems, because they do nothing but accumulate victories,” he added.
He also considers that he has the possibility of eliminating Girona. “In this Cup, with such a one-game format and in the field of the smallest rival, everyone has options to pass. Girona has just played on Monday, they have had two days less rest and to this must be added a long trip “. To all this, he recalls the recent duel with his team: “The other day, when they were already 2-0 winning the coach began to rotate to give rest to the headlines thinking about the Cup.” More clues: “It’s a team with very good play on the wings and the sides usually go up a lot and double. They are intense in attack. Now, I also understand that Thursday’s approach will not be the same as they chose to face us. They are very solid at the back and have quality at the top, they will have to watch out for Girona ».
Àlex Campos did not finish the game with Gimnástica because the coach wanted to give him a break, but the Empordà player is a regular under the posts. And that less than two years ago was about to leave football. A spectacular fall, in February 2019, could have ruined his career. “I fell from a height of about three stories and broke my ankle and fibula. I spent some time carrying plates and screws, apart from experiencing three operations and having also suffered blows to the head. The doctors did not assure me if I could play again, but the recovery was very good and in eight months I would play again. He regained sensations in La Jonquera and months ago Real Burgos knocked on his door. “It was a good opportunity and I wanted to try something new. I didn’t think too much about it and I’m very happy here.
