Tercera RFEF Dream: Valdemoro’s “Chana” Leads the Charge Against getafe at the Coliseum
Valdemoro, spain – The air crackles with anticipation as Inter de Valdemoro, a club with humble roots and a colossal heart, stands on the precipice of a Tercera RFEF promotion. Today, their dream takes center stage at the iconic Alfonso Pérez Coliseum, a mere 18 kilometers from their home base in Valdemoro. An estimated 7,000 passionate fans are making the pilgrimage, a testament to the unwavering spirit of this community club. Among them, a familiar, booming voice will be the driving force: Isaac, affectionately known as “Chana.”
They’ve called me that for 37 years because of a slip-up when pronouncing ‘China’ in English… and it stuck. It’s a nickname I wear with pride,
Chana shares with a hearty laugh. today, his voice will be the thunder in the Inter stands, orchestrating the fervent support. A minor setback – his bass drum suffered a fatal blow in the last match and couldn’t be repaired in time – won’t silence him. I broke it on Wednesday… They’re fixing it. I’ll be singing at the top of my lungs, so not a single song is missed,
he declares with unyielding determination.
Chana’s dedication to Inter de Valdemoro is nothing short of legendary. he’s been a constant presence for four years, a significant upgrade from his occasional visits to the El Restón Sports Center in the past. I go to all the games, and I always cheer them on, through the good times and the bad. For me, they aren’t just players; they’re family,
he explains. His deep connection to the club was forged in a moment of crisis. During an on-field altercation between fans, Chana stepped in, using his bass drum and megaphone to restore order. From that moment on, I’ve given my voice for them in every game. When things aren’t going well, I’m there to push them. This is more than football,
he emphasizes.
While home games typically draw a respectable 400-500 spectators, and away trips a dedicated but smaller contingent of around 50, today is an entirely different beast. The players, acutely aware of the stakes, are feeding off the fans’ palpable emotion. Rubí, a key figure in the locker room, expresses the team’s mindset: We’re incredibly excited. We know how Bordalás plays: tough, physical, a real battle. We’re going to do everything we can to make it a difficult game for them.
Alejandro Briega, another influential player, balances optimism with realism: If we win, we’ll party, but we know it’s going to be tough. Bordalás is a great coach, and Getafe, despite criticism of their style, has notable results.
Both players hold Chana in high regard: He’s the most passionate guy in his role, number one. He’s always there, giving his all.
The Inter de Valdemoro story is one of resilience and passion. Founded in 1983 by a group of friends facing unemployment, the club began as Inter Parados in the Marca League before officially federating in the 1985/86 season. Their journey has been a testament to hard work, perseverance, and a deep-seated connection to their community. Two years ago, in the league against Periso, we where so close to promotion to the Autonómica. Last season, winning the Federation Cup final 1-0 against Moratalaz was incredible. And this year, the two previous Copa del Rey matches against Universitario de Canarias… feeling that emotion live is indescribable,
Chana recounts.
This is going to be more than just a football match against Getafe: it’s our life, our passion, our Inter de Valdemoro.Today, we are all one, and no one is going to silence us!
Chana declares. Though his bass drum may be silent, his voice, amplified by a loudspeaker, will undoubtedly echo through the Coliseum, a powerful symbol of a community united in pursuit of a dream.
