Osasuna-Real Sociedad, game over!

Good afternoon, dear Osasunists! Tonight it's the only football day and it is the last match of the season at El Sadar! Osasuna says goodbye in front of their supporters against "our brothers" Real Sociedad at nine o'clock in the evening! After 36 games, we must say that we, Osasuna supporters, have forgotten those times of agony and nerves when our players were struggling in the last season game to mantain the category of First Division team. This season Osasuna reached their start goal many weeks ago, and it is true that Osasuna didn't know to play for different goals! I can't say that Osasuna don't want to go to Europe next year, but I think that a similar situation won't be possible again. What it is for sure is that tonight is a farewell game for many reasons! Not only the season will be over at our stadium, El Sadar ( by the way, that will be its official name next season again ), but also some players in both teams will play ( or not ) their last career game. I got a tweet two days ago with Ricardo's words saying that he is quite tired of tournaments and trips. It was a short comment taken as a farewell, and we have to bear in mind that he hasn't played a single minute this season. I think that Mendilibar, if he is aware of the news, should act and have Ricardo in the kickoff team, and there won't be noticed! There are many things to thank and congratulate to Ricardo. Another player at Osasuna team who leaves, for sure, is Raul Garcia. Perhaps, his position in Atletico is covered, but I think that Atletico managers have another idea to get money from that good player. I had a debate at twitter with some followers about the excellence of Raul Garcia and we didn't reach to an agreement of his relevance. I think that his season has been excellent but there were other magnificient players in Osasuna history who were more necessary for the team than Raul Garcia. I mean the famous three scorers at the 80's ( Echeverria-Iriguibel-Martin ), when we now invent the "tridente" we realized it was already invented. Or when the Englishmen, Michael Robinson and Sammie Lee arrived and changed our way of thinking. Or that polish excellent player, Jan Urban, who made us dream with Europe for the first time! Anyway, Raul will be a sensitive loss. Finally, the last but not the least is our chairman, Patxi Izco. He cried in his farewell yerterday in front of the journalists, but I think that supporters in El Sadar will have another opinion. If I have to be unbias, I must say that his work in the club has been good, but due to the crisis in the country and Europe, he may leave the club in a weak position for the next chairman and their executives. It will be difficult to manage the club and I suppose there will be a continuation and Artxanco is the most probable succesor. As you see, the game itself is the less important thing for tonight game. We are supposed to fight for a place in Europe, though it seems to be quite imposible. Osasuna must win the last two games against Real Sociedad and Racing Santander. Supporters might be more eager to get that prize than players themselves. There are some reasons for that. First, Osasuna play a derby against Real Sociedad tonight. We have memories of good games when each team "helped" the other in some different situations. Bear in mind that our mutual "enemy" is Athletic and players form Bilbao already got next season place for Europe and Real Sociedad is as safe as Osasuna for next season in First Division. I think they are more relaxed than Osasuna players and we must make a profit of it. Another reason for my point to win the match is that another fooballer is saying goodbye tonight, now at Real Sociedad side. Mikel Aramburu, similar to our Patxi Puñal, the captain, is retiring at the end of this season. I suppose it will be a handicap for them! Osasuna must paly without four injured players:Kike Sola, Masoud, Echaide and Sergio; and three sanctioned: Leka, Damiá and Roversio. On the other hand, Flaño, Loe, Onwu and Satrustegi might be back, but I suppose the kickoff team will be: Andrés; Bertrán, Flaño, Lolo, Raitala o Satrustegui; Puñal, Neko and Raúl García; Cejudo or Lamah, Ibra and Nino. Gora Osasuna! Aupa Rojillos!
