The body in Eibar, the head in the derby

The calendar pointed to Ipurúa as an important location for the team to show its stature in the championship. But the head was already in advance. The clash against Sporting next Saturday excites the blue fan in a way. For this reason, when in full warm-up, the chords of the “Team A” tune went out, loud from the public address system, the first chants in the corner occupied by some 300 Oviedo supporters were directed at their eternal rival.

“I am very confident in the face of the derby because we have Cervera as the boss, it is the best guarantee,” said the fan Lorena Álvarez before entering the field. “It’s not just that we go onto the pitch more safely, but that the footballers themselves seem more confident,” she added. Her friend Charo Villán agreed in the analysis: “I’m sure we’re going to win. I’d say 1-0, with a goal from Enrich.” Lorena raised the bet to 2-0 and kept Bastón and Hugo Rama as the authors of the goals.

For Javi Olay, “the team has become more organized since the arrival of Cervera and that in the face of a derby is an important factor.” He is also confident in the good performance ahead of the derby Omar Miranda, for whom “the game that the team plays now is perhaps not the most attractive, but there is always competition. And this is going to score points.”

Rubén Castro, María Álvarez, Fran Areces and Borja Castro were four of the members of Peñas Herrero and Trubia, who chartered a bus to watch the game live. They traveled in the morning, ate in Eibar and, to the stadium. Among their conversations, of course, the most anticipated clash of the year. “With Cervera you are guaranteed to score points. To lose something has to happen to you, and in the derby I know that we are going to be very sure,” analyzed Fran Areces. For María Álvarez, “the derby is always a guarantee that the team will work. This is how it has been seen in recent years. We have taken the measure for them.”
