Avilés triumphs among the youngest: “Why not promote?”

“Last year we brushed it and this year we still have time. Why not promote?” Yesterday, Avilés received a mass bath of the little ones. Manolo Sánchez Murias, coach; Raúl Menéndez, physical trainer, and Mecerreyes and Alberto Martín, blue and white players, visited Marcelo Gago as part of the “Health Week” organized by the center, and the welcome could not have been better. The children, who received the delegation with spectacular applause, asked their concerns to the protagonists, who got involved in choices such as choosing between Madrid or Barcelona or Sporting and Oviedo.

After the four protagonists introduced themselves, it was time for the students’ questions. “How many goals have you scored? Who inspired you to be soccer players? Who is your favorite player?” could be heard among all the bustle of the more than one hundred students who filled the Marcelo Gago assembly hall. “Do you have any Ballon d’Or?” asked one of the boys, awakening laughter from those involved.

When the barrage of questions passed, Mecerreyes grabbed the microphone and began to address some of the questions. “When I was little they signed me up for basketball, but they quickly saw that what I liked was kicking the ball and they changed me to soccer,” said the man from Aviles, who confessed that his heart beats red and white. “I was lucky to play nine years at Sporting, it is the club of my life,” confessed the midfielder. Alberto Martín, for his part, revealed that he is a Real Madrid fan, causing a great uproar from the public. Sánchez Murias was in charge of calming the waters, making a plea about the importance of being on your city’s team. “Right now your team has to be Avilés, which is the team here,” he noted.

“They are very close to the play-off, why not dream of promotion,” said Martín Gómez, one of the children who went crazy to get the Avilés players to sign an autograph for them. Although some of them were wearing the Betis or Inter Miami shirt, they did not hesitate to make it available to the blue and white representatives to have their signatures stamped on them. “I’m looking forward to Sunday so I can go cheer, so we can all win,” said Juan Artime, who proudly boasted to his friends that he had gotten everyone’s signature. Now, with the support of the youngest in the stands, Avilés has the batteries more than charged to knock down Vetusta next Sunday and go headlong for the promotion play-off positions.

Rojas misses the match against Vetusta

After a few days of waiting, the sanction that Raúl Rojas will have to serve is now known. The Sevillian winger, who received two yellow cards in the match against Pontevedra, will miss Avilés’ next match against Oviedo Vetusta. Although the blue and white team filed an appeal with the Federation to try to annul the second warning, the request was rejected. The Sevillian was sent off after struggling with Chiqui.
