That is why “we cannot ascend anyway, but we are going to die for it,” he adds. Miguel Romillo, coach, also highlights that “it is a unique opportunity because we may never see ourselves in one of these again, facing a First Division team would be unforgettable for the club and the players.” All this is in the mind of the squad and the fans.

While Oiartzun and San Viator finished the league two weeks ago. The coach considers that this “will not have an impact”, since it was an inconsequential match and they could play it with youth players and footballers from the subsidiary. In addition, “we face the game with enthusiasm, the team at its best and without any injuries,” he settles.
