Osasuna-Rayo, our team needs to escape from the cave!

Good evening, dear Osasunists! Tonight we have a football match at El Sadar on the 11th game of the season after the last defeat away against Sevilla F.C.

Osasuna played very simple football but they didn't have any help from the referee, just the opposite as not only Damia's sentout was unfair but he didn't provoke the fault. It is also true that Javi Gracia, Osasuna's coach, didn't do the best changes as it is supposed for most supporters that Satrustegui needs an opportunity and when Damiá had to leave was the best excuse to give a chance for him.

Anyway, tonight's rival is a direct one, from the relegation post and players need to give 100% of their best play. Both teams need the victory urgently, but Osasuna is at home and three points will make a difference.

Rayo is a fast, rough and push team that started the season very well but they have got some handicaps as their defence and lack of scoring are similar to Osasuna, so it is obvious that the team which scores the first will probably be the winner.

Javi Gracia has many problems to form a kickoff team as apart from Damiá, Marc Bertran is also injured. So there will be another chance for Oier and Satrustegui to start the match. All in all, we will see Arribas, Loties, Oier and Satrustegui in front of Andres Fernandez. The midfield will be for Silva and Lolo as the brain for the team and the wings for De Las Cuevas and Cejudo. Finally, Roberto Torres must be the link with the scorer Oriol.

On the other hand,  Rayo is anxious to leave the dangerous positions and they may play with Ruben; Tito, Saul/Arbilla, Galvez and Nacho; Trashorras, Adrian, Lass, Viera; Iago and Larryvei

Rayo-Osasuna: let's start the weekend with good news!

Good evening, dear Osasunists!
We have started the weekend a few hours ago, but it will be a different weekend if we can go to sleep with good news from Vallecas, the neighbourhood of Rayo football team.

Osasuna must vanish the relegation issue if they are able to fish points at one of their most difficult stadiums in history. There is another problem for Osasuna, apart from historical bad results in Vallecas, that is the fact that Rayo have their last opportunity to fight for a place to go to Europe next season and they may see Osasuna as a perfect rival to achieve that brilliant goal.

Mendilibar's team is only four points away from the relegation posts and they have to break that bad patch of lost games at home and away so that they may increase the gap with their pursuers. After three consecutive matches, "the reds" have to change the final result from last year at Vallecas.

It was also in April, on the 7th, when Michu (2), Movilla, Tito, Diego Costa and the actual Osasuna player Armenteros scored six goals, what became the best  result for Rayo in history as a team in First Division. Besides, Osasuna have only got a draw and a victory out of their seven visits to Vallecas.

Osasuna will have to face this situation without some of their best players. Oier and Armenteros are sanctioned, and the latter won't be able to play against his ex-colleagues. Also, Annan, Ruben and Bertran are injured.

On the other hand, Rayo's coach, Paco Jemez, is about to make another punch in the club history. They might go to the Europe League and Osasuna can be a perfect victim for them. They also have some important injured players, like Brazilian Leo Baptistao or Tamudo.

 

OSASUNA: Andrés; Damiá, Arribas, Flaño, Nano; Loe, Silva; Cejudo, Armenteros, De las Cuevas; Sola.

GORA OSASUNA! AUPA ROJILLOS! EVEN WHEN THE RESULTS MAY EMBARRASE OTHER TEAM SUPPORTERS

Rayo-Osasuna, the Resurrection game

Good afternoon, dear Osasunists! Happy Holy Saturday, the day before Resurrection o Good Sunday! Perhaps, it is the day Osasuna players need a resurrection after last Saturday game against another team from Madrid. Osasuna must stand up after a hangover week of comments and strange tributes in stadiums. Osasuna is in a superior level to those situations and there might be people in higher bureaus who are uncomfortable for the excellent situation of Osasuna in La Liga. It is time to defend our expectations against a similar rival: Rayo Vallecano. The team from Vallecas isn't in their best moment of the season, and they have lost their last thre games in a row. Besides, the club is in an atmosphere of unrest and they have decided to reduce the price of the tickets to fill the stadium with their supporters. They can be in first division next year, but Rayo didn't reach the 40 points yet. Rayo Vallecan seem to be a more dangerous team away than in their stadium. Their coach, Snadoval, is a brave person who knows how to communicate his skills to his players and re who they compete against they follow their aggresive style the three points each round. They have almost got a draw this season, either they won or lost, unlike Osasuna that we always try to get a point, at least!Therefore, Osasuna is called "the King of the Draw"! On the other hand, Osasuna must make a profit of the fact that Rayo Vallecano is a bad team home. They have lost 27 points in their stadium. Rayo Vallecano was in a delicate situation after the end of the first leg of the season, but the went to the winter market and got the transfer of good plyers like Joel, Pulido, Armenteros and Diego Costa. Osasuna must forget last weekend score and extra situations or comments. We, the supporters of Osasuna, must show everywhere our gentleness and education, but on the other hand, some journalist from Madrid may be blamed for any incident in the capital suffered from any Madrid hooligan! Thus, Mendilibar, our coach, is sanctioned with two games after complaining in El Sadar to the referee Muñiz! Who cares of the complaining Mou or offensive Pepe??

It is compulsory for Osasuna to forget everything happened out of the ordinary, and remember there is also a game in the week, next Tuesday against Espanyol, and we must keep the European post after these two games, against Rayo and Espanyol. Mendilibar needs every player very fit and concentrated on a new target: EUROPE! Finally, Osasuna must win to dedicate that victory to those supporters who did not stop chanting and cheering when they were losing 1-5 and keep some mouths shut in Madrid about our education and politeness! Gora Osasuna! Aupa Rojillos!
