Osasuna-Real Madrid, a decafinated derby


Good afternoon, dear Osasunists!
This afternoon-evening we are going to watch one of the most expected matches of the season for Osasuna supporters: the visit of Real Madrid. ( I'm going to break my word of the year: not to say the name of the white team from the capital city of Spain- it would be a very difficult article to write! )
Anyway, the confrontation is a bit decafinated, as I said in the heading for many reasons. First, the traditional gap in quality which is huger year after year! That gap used to be confronted in Osasuna with the illusion and support from the people in the stadium, but lately the supporters and the team are divided in Osasuna by the coach, Camacho, and the chairman, Izco ( both are well-known Real Madrid supporters, by the way ).
Real Madrid used to arrive in Pamplona with the feeling of anxiety and nervousness even when they were at the top of the League, and were, like now, full of football stars. But there are comments, even from the white team, that they go to a friend stadium and they do not feel uncomfortable in Pamplona!
On the other hand, I have the feeling that there is much more interests in the benches than in the field itself. Camacho and Mourinho have eclipsed the interest in both teams and both supporters may have problems to say the kickoff players, overall in Osasuna side, as some of the traditional players have left or are injured. Juanfran's leaving has not been replaced successfully by the new players and his effort and courage either by other "captains" like Puñal or Camuñas.
Finally, I am interested in watching the match, but I have the feeling that I will be depicted by Osasuna players as I have been lately in Almeria, for instance, that even the result may seem to be a disputed match, do not forget that Osasuna lost 2-0 by minute 20 in the first half. It is very difficult to win a game with a bad result like that, and if Osasuna players are not tense and connected from the kickoff moment, it will be imposible to confront the quality of players in Real Madrid!
Gora Osasuna!Aupa Rojillos!
