The Oviedo Badminton Club has been league champion twice in the highest category of this sport in Spain, it has occupied and occupies a prominent place in the national panorama of this sport and now, after a complicated season, with many setbacks, with injuries and facing a generational change, his permanence in the highest competition of this sport in Spain will be played in a match, which will pit him against Badminton Alicante Intercity tomorrow at the Corredoria Arena, starting at 10:00 am.
The club’s technical director, César González, recognizes that for them it is “a final”: “In this case, a final for permanence, that indicates how important it is for us.” The fact that this season they are fighting for permanence is due to “two factors”: “First there is a change in the generational cycle, we have faced the retirement of people like Alberto Zapico, and then losses like those of Pelayo Pinto, who left to Italy and in the end he couldn’t help us, the loss of Kristina Sotomayor, who became pregnant, several things have come together. Some problems that also have their positive side: “Marcos García came up from the subsidiary and we are super happy with how he has done it, Amaya and Vicente have also had a great evolution, which allows us to aspire to have a strong and powerful group in the future “.
The one who is responsible for preparing the match in more detail is coach Fran Dacal, CBO coach, who assures that the match will be “level and contested”: “They also have a lot at stake.” One of the great advantages will be playing at home: “It is very important for us, in badminton things that might seem small in other sports are decisive, the shuttlecock does not go equally fast in one place or another.” What he is not in favor of is changing many things due to the importance of the match: “I am not in favor of changing the protocols, we may spend a little more time than usual preparing for some matches, but in general we maintain continuity.”
The one who is going to take to the court is the young Marcos García, 18 years old, a doubles specialist for Badminton Oviedo, although this season he has also had to play in singles at times. “I want to play now, to see how everything turns out and to achieve permanence, I hope that people can come to the game, it is a motivation to play at home,” he explains. A lifelong youth player at the club, Marcos assures that he likes this tension: “I, with help, have managed to manage those nerves so that they become something positive.”
