Back to our dream,...not to reality!

 
Good afternoon, dear Osasunists! Here we are back to another season, but before the school year start. It is difficult for me to write this article so early this time!Summer is still the season of the year, but football and La Liga are back again!

The "Reds" had a bad start last season and they suffered until the last match of the season. Besides, Osasuna was the team with less favour goals in La Liga with only 33 goals in 38 matches. Osasuna starts their 14th season in a row in La Liga de las Estrellas, but we, their supporters are hopeful to avoid suffering, pain or tense as we did last year. It is supposed to have a more effective team, but Osasuna semmed to have the same deficit during the preseason: the goal. Mendilibar is the coach of Osasuna and this will be his fourth season in Pamplona. Not many coaches are so long in a club;actually, Jose Luis becomes the coach with more seasons in a row in La Liga. After his speech before the match, we think that Mendilibar has got a better team and footballers seem to understand him better than last season. I hope that results help him at the beginning. Otherwise, results will make that record not to last for long!

There are new players in the team, but in my opinion, the best news were that Andres Fernandez stayed in El Sadar. Osasuna had to replace another "betrayer", Kike Sola, who left to Bilbao to "improve" his career. It seems that Oriol Riera, the Catalonian player from Alcorcon and the International Paraguayan player Arien Nuñez will be the ones to make us forget Kike and overall his goals. Other new players are the French Jordan Loties (Nancy), another Catalonian, Joan Oriol (Villarreal), and two other players from the youth team Jon Echaide and Eneko Satrustegui, who is still recovering from a serious knee injury since last season. Another issue since last season was the stadium and its name. The previous hours before the match, the channel GOL TV published the name of Reyno de Navarra for the stadium, when first most of the supporters never like that name and second, and more important, the Government of Navarra put an end to the contract with the club to call EL SADAR again. OSASUNA ALWAYS PLAY IN EL SADAR. Osasuna is a team in First Division for most of my students, who I will meet again in September and for those who I never knew before and will be my students in first year! (I will have to tell them some stories!jeje! ) Well, this is all by now! Good luck for the first match to our team! Gora Osasuna! Aupa Rojillos!
