What hurts the club, the coach and the players the most is that the Balbín facilities, which have artificial grass pitches, have been completed for more than a month, something important when it rains as much as in recent days. “You get up in the morning and you don’t know where you will be able to train your team, we have to ask for favors, our soul falls to the ground because we come from a very good month to have trained in decent conditions and not it could have been ”, explains Oli.
The problem, according to the Marino’s coach, is that a FIFA certificate is missing for the City Council to decide to open the facilities: “One thing is to play and another to use them, it is also that we are not alone, either it can be used by grassroots football or Gozón. I am tired, the working conditions are not suitable and the only thing that lifts my spirits is the attitude and good disposition of my players despite everything, ”he adds.
Oli recognizes that, sometimes, when he arrives at the locker room and knows that he will hardly be able to do anything with his players, he wants to “send them home”: “They are the ones who cheer me on”, he insists. The problems accumulate for the Marino because the conditions in which Miramar finds himself are also very harsh: “The other day we could not take a shower, the cables are loose and the automatic ones jumped, we ran out of electricity and could not shower, the water it enters the bottom of the field like a waterfall ”. And while, right next to it, the Balbín complex shines: “It’s like putting a candy at the door of a school.”
