The Lakua Sports Club teams survive every weekend within the critical economic situation of the entity. Some new trainers on Saturday … within the profound restructuring that the club is undergoing due to the departure or dismissals of many of the employees who have accumulated months without pay. Others, as in the case of the Regional women’s team, showed up at the game without a coaching staff and had to improvise. There were two parents who were put on the bench in the face of a dereliction of duties that no longer takes families by surprise.
As this newspaper has learned, the players received notice in training on Friday that their coach, who claims not to have received any salary this season, would not attend the match. On other occasions, the board sent someone in charge to take charge of the team. But not this time. It was past nine in the morning in Olaranbe and there were only female players in the locker room assigned to Lakua.
They had to face Aurrera de Vitoria, three points ahead in the standings and both sitting in the middle of the table, without a qualified coach. The match report states that the team “does not present” a coach. The same as in previous days, in which they had at least one team delegate and another field delegate when they acted as locals.
This time two parents took the reins to get out of the situation. The players concentrated on football and left everything on the pitch until they achieved victory. Despite losing 3-1 during the second half, in the 81st minute they managed to turn the score around and sign a redeeming victory (3-4). A joy right in the middle of the season. The Lakua Women’s Regional still has another 13 rounds ahead of them and they don’t even know who will coach them this week.
