Barça-Osasuna, a game of contrasts


Hi, Osasuna supporters! Here we are in another week game. And what a game!!!
Osasuna is visiting one of the most beautiful and astonishing stadium in the world: The Nou Camp, the F.C. Barcelona stadiu, where everything is overdimensioned and even mature, experienced players become small and shrink.
But this kind of games must be special for everyone and teams like Osasuna, which I remind have their own "second or third League", do not have anything to lose, and more than three points to win.
Last year the match between both teams, Osasuna and Barça, was completely different as Osasuna was struggling to avoid relegation to Second Division and Barça was thinking in the Champions Final, which some days later got and was their third consecutive title in that glorious year ( the only team in the world to win six cups in a complete year ).

Today the situation is not so extreme. There are ten more matches left to finish this year season and relegation posts are eight points away, but as you know Osasuna haven't won in the last six games and since the second part of the season started we only added two points.
I'm not talking any longer about Osasuna's posible ambitions at that time, but we are now very disappointed by players, coach and club. Last week, after losing against Racing for the fourth time this year, there were some critical whistles against Camacho and Izco, and perhaps it wasn't the most appropiated match to critizise, because as tonight Osasuna is playing with some non-habitual players and new forwards, but the game against Racing was a game of revenge and it seems that players do not make effort enough to motivate us, their supporters.
Camacho helped Osasuna to avoid relegation last year, but all that is over now. I'm not talking about Ziganda and the causes of his destitution, but Camacho is not completely loved in Pamplona. His Real Madrid past and way of being has always been a load for him, and now that the supporters' goal ( Copa del Rey final ) is over, we can't stand some attitudes and comments.
Well, to put an end to all this article and as you see, the less is the match. In Barcelona they have been talking about Messi's skills and comparasions with other football stars of all the times ( Pelé, Maradona, Zidane, etc...) or the 25th anniversary of the League Champions 84-85 when the young Guardiola was one of the "ball boys" ( recogepelotas ) in that time.



Meanwhile, in Pamplona the newspapers and supporters are worried of next game in the Reyno de Navarra stadium against Almeria, another of those teams which have improved a lot with their new coach, in this case Jose Maria Lillo, who substituted Hugo Sanchez, another ex-Real Madrid player and with more ambitions than good ideas on the bench.
Anyway, let's see what happens tonight in the Nou Camp and perhaps Camacho can help his former club and still member of Real Madrid Club to win this championship if Osasuna surprise everyone and win tonight's game against F.C. Barcelona.
Gora Osasuna! Aupa Rojillos!
