Good evening, dear Osasunists! Tonight there is football at El Sadar and an old hatred rival is visiting our home for the second leg in Copa del Rey: Real Madrid. The confrontation in Madrid finished with the victory of Ancelotti's team ( 2-0 ), but I think there's a relaxing atmosphere in the powerful side, overall after the ceremony of the Golden Ball yesterday.
On the other hand, Osasuna is in a very good mood and situation. There is nothing to lose and a lot to win as nobody gives a damn for us to go for the next leg. Besides, Javier Gracia's team has parked La Liga issue until next weekend when the second leg starts against Granada and the position in the classification is very comfortable ( 13th ) after two consecutive victories against direct rivals : Espanyol and Betis. The relegation posts are five points away.
The odds are against Osasuna as they have been eliminated in all the confrontations with the white team. Anyway, Osasuna players must do their best in the pitch and the non-habitual players have the opportunity to show their coach, Javier Gracia, that they can play in La Liga from the beginning. The two new players in the team, like Acuña, may be in the kickoff team, and as Andres Fernandez, the goalkeeper was sent off in Sevilla the last game in La Liga and can't play the following one, he is to play this evening for sure.
Posible kickoff teams:
Osasuna: Andrés Fernández; Oier Sanjurjo, Miguel Flaño, Arribas, Joan Oriol; Puñal, Raoul; Cejudo, Torres, De las Cuevas; Acuña.
Real Madrid: Casillas; Arbeloa, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Coentrao; Illarramendi, Xabi Alonso; Jesé, Di María, Cristiano Ronaldo; Benzema.
GORA OSASUNA! AUPA ROJILLOS!
