Friday night. A group of five friends meet for dinner and after paying for the last round, no one knows what to do with the 30 euros left over. «We had put a boat together. When there is left over, instead of distributing it, sometimes we play the lottery, other times the coupon… The typical thing,” explains one of the protagonists, David Álvarez Sirgo. On this occasion, the choice was to invest it in a prediction for the derby. The medium, a well-known betting house. There was agreement on the result to choose: 1-0. The debate arose around the scorer. «Some said Mario González, another, in this case me, Nacho Méndez. We resolved it heads or tails. And in the end…”, details this man from Gijón. No sooner said than done. Great goal from Luanco, victory for Sporting and a pinch of 930 euros for everyone.
Rarely has a dinner been so profitable for this group of fans from Gijón. This is confirmed by David Sirgo, about whom he made the most accurate of forecasts. “It all started because I appeared in the club of LA NEW SPAIN,” explains who, through his company, Porceyo Aluminios, participated in the special pages of this newspaper around the Asturian derby. There he got wet with a 1-0 that he maintained at dinner. Between courses, the conversation heated up and then something else came up, the name of Nacho Méndez. «After dinner we went to have a drink. That’s where the debate began. We looked at how much money it would mean if we got it 1-0 at a betting house. It wasn’t much based on what was invested, so we had to choose something more complex. The more difficult, the more reward », he details.
At first, the majority were inclined to choose one of the red and white forwards as the scorer of the goal. «In addition to Mario González we also talked about the possibility of Djuka scoring. If either of the two did it, the prize went up, but not so much when we saw what was paid if the chosen one was Nacho Méndez,” he continues. It was David Sirgo who persevered in Luanco. He did it before and kept it after checking the amount of the prize if it was finally the youth player who decided the derby. «I don’t know, it came out like that. After the coin toss, we already had a scorer,” he adds.
The next day, two minutes into the game, what was said was fulfilled. And among the jokes in the WhatsApp group they share, the development of the match began to bring together what seemed like a conversation between friends. «Someone has never been so happy to see Sporting miss goals, because after the opportunity that Mario González had… Now, I will tell you that from this I think they are going to respect me a little more when I talk about football» Sirgo concludes, laughing.
