Olot’s enthusiasm tests the Osasuna category

L’absence of public will tarnish the party which will be lived this evening to the Municipal. However, the party will be the same on the grass, where theOlot will enjoy the reward of facing one First Division rival like Osasuna (19.00, DAZN). A special and notable appointment for a club that to date had only faced once a rival of the highest category (Burgos in the 83-84 academic year). A game of those where there is no need to be motivated and which, in return, are a good showcase for the players. The priority is the League, obviously, and everyone knows that. However, the good trajectory of last season and overcoming the demanding elimination against Poblense has led the Garrotxins to be able to see their faces with a whole Osasuna. A rival who may not be having the best time, but who has in his ranks men of proven track record and quality such as Roberto Torres, Rubén García, Oier Sanjurjo, Calleri and Jony, among many others. Names of a lot of category, yes, but surely without the extra added excitement that the people of Olot will have. An addition that can be decisive to nail a good scare to Osasuna, make it fat and reach the last sixteen, where he would expect another Primera team. Dreaming is free, but what if …

“It’s a holiday for the club. Obviously we will compete, let no one doubt it “, he warns Raul Garrido. The Olot coach is clear that they will give war to Osasuna. “We have players who already know what it’s like to face a Primera and others who don’t. We will all go out to compete and win, ”he says. As for the rival, the Valencian coach is not sure which Osasuna will be today. “They are in a delicate situation in the League and have a lot of games in a few days. Let’s see how they approach the game “, he emphasizes. Garrido has the only safe loss of defender Lluís Aspar due to injury, apart from that of Héctor Simon.

Among the twenty players displaced by Jagoba Arrasate in Girona it stands out Enric Gallego. The Barcelona striker played for Olot for a few months in the 2014-15 season before exploding and making the leap to professional football with Extremadura, Huesca, Getafe and now Osasuna. Aridane Santana, on the other hand, is not in the Navarre squad. The Canarian center-back also belonged to Olot for a few weeks in the 2015-16 season, although he did not make his debut. Aridane, signed from Eldenc, had an escape clause if he wanted a higher category team. The play was that Granada, then in Primera, signed him to transfer him to Cádiz, who played in Second B. Arrasate has given rest, apart from Aridane, to goalkeeper Sergio Herrera, David García, Moncayola and Juan Cruz also has injuries to Darko Brasanac and Torró. On the list are five players from the Second B branch, goalkeeper Iñaki Álvarez, Kike Saverio, Aitor Córdoba and Aimar Oroz.
