Good evening, dear Osasuna supporters! Here we are again!
We start a new week and Osasunists feel different from other football supporters as we didn't get the satisfaction??? of a weekend of passion and suffering from our loved team.
We've been waiting on the sofa or coach as in the drawing above! This cartoon represents our lack of motivation in the last games after the results of Osasuna against their rivals. It's a brilliant cartoon drawing, as always, from the great cartoon maker: Cesar Oroz, who I have the honour to know from his schooltime, as my brother and he studied at the same classroom and they are still friends, so I consider myself!
This evening we're visiting a difficult stadium: Saint Moix in Mallorca. During this season Mallorca have been the surprising team of the League and they are still in those positions that let play the Champions the following season. ( Do you remember that year in 2005 of the Copa del Rey final and the 4th position in League???? )
The Ono stadium is a very good fortress for Mallorca and they have won 13 matches out of 15 in this season. They are the third best home team in the League after Real Madrid and Barça. Therefore, as it is usually said: "cristal clear, this is Imposible Mission, not even for Tom Cruise's famous actions and if Osasuna gets a draw, it will be a brilliant victory for our players!
There are two ex-Osasuna players in Mallorca: Quique Corrales and Pierre Webo. The Kamerunian player is very desired and remembered in Pamplona. He's scored six goals this season, but he hasn't played many complete games with Manzano. Now he seems to have recovered his post in the kickoff team.
Finally, I'm going to comment the problems Osasuna and other people have had this week to travel. As you may know the only way to reach Mallorca is by sea or air, and the news about the Norwegian volcano eruption has caused many problems in the flight traffic all over Europe. Even yesterday in the morning Osasuna was in talks with the FEF ( Spanish Football Federation ) in the case the game couldn't be played as Osasuna was unable to travel and get Mallorca. In the end, the airport at Noain opened and they took a charter flight to Mallorca at 8.30 in the evening and could spend the night in a hotel ( luckier than Barça, who had to travel by bus to Milan as Barcelona airport and Italian airports are closed ).
Let's see if this fact is a good start for tonight game. Aupa Rojillos! Gora Osasuna!
