Good afternoon, dear Osasunists! Today we have the last game of the year 2010 and the last game of the first round of the League.
Luckily or unfortunately, this last game is against a well-known team and the confrontation is usually called "a derby". Today Real Zaragoza is visiting the Reyno de Navarra stadium.
Last year I talked about my links with Zaragoza city and my relatives there!So the word derby is very accurate for most of the citizens in both cities, but the problem is that "globalization" in the teams has devalued this confrontation as there are many "foreigners" in both teams.
The fraternal fight between Osasuna and Zaragoza has always been a good reason to visit the rival's stadium and have a good day out, a short daytrip that unfortunately some years ago they were marked by insults and fights in the streets or stadiums which made some supporters think twice wheter travel or not.
This year the derby is conditioned to both team placement in the League. Osasuna is a strong team in the Reyno, but until last weekend team it was one of the worst teams playing away their stadiums. Camacho's team is still the only????? team which have not won away, and I have been very critical to Osasuna's coach, but I must be sincere and say that when I watch the second half against Valencia F.C., I felt very proud of being an Osasuna fan/supporter and and I appreciate Camacho's job in Osasuna's players'confidence to do their best in any team.
Zaragoza is the opposite situation. They've changed coach, and now there's another well-known and friend person: Javier Aguirre. The Mexican coach is a constant fighter in any of the teams he's been working for and he's a very good motivating coach. Another "for" characteristic of Aguirre is, of course, that he trained Osasuna and Osasuna achieved their best, as we were classified for the Champions League for the first time in history! But now everything is different and the situation in the club of the city of El Pilar ( nobody wants to insult her ) is not as heavenly desired!And Zaragoza supporters are unhappy with their players and even still their new coach!!!Let's what happens this afternoon!
Finally, I want to write some lines to desirre all the best for all of you my unknown but loved readers. This is my last article of football of the year and I wish all you MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!
GORA OSASUNA!AUPA ROJILLOS!
