He Real Oviedo faces this Monday CD Tenerife in his league debut. Álvaro Cervera has significant losses and doubts in goal, but he travels to the Canary Islands with a very complete list and two players from the reserve team. In front he will have a reformed rival and with Asier Garitano as the new Chicharrero coach.
Many changes in both teams and one very relevant at home: the new tactical drawing implemented by the Basque coach, with a clear 1-4-2-3-1, with the defense more advanced, unlike the 1-4-4 -2 that Luis Miguel Ramis had used the last three seasons, and more withdrawn in his field.
With Garitano, Tenerife aspires to maintain the defensive solidity that has characterized it in recent years, but intends to take a step forward in offensive production, for which it has incorporated players such as Luismi Cruz, Roberto López and Ángel Rodríguez.
The return home of the Tenerife striker Ángel is one of the great incentives for the fans. The La Laguna goal scorer, injured during the preseason, has recovered in time to at least be called up for this first game, although he will probably not start.
One of the unknowns to be resolved is the goal. Juan Soriano, undisputed starter for the last two seasons, is entering the last year of his contract and has not accepted the club’s renewal offer, just when real competition has arrived for his position with the experienced Balearic goalkeeper Tomeu Nadal.
If Garitano bets on the continuity of Soriano, in the probable first starting eleven of the Bergara coach there would only be two new faces compared to the previous season, and they would be two left-handers: Luismi Cruz from Cádiz on the right wing, with a changed leg, and the Aragonese Roberto López as playmaker, behind Enric Gallego.
The possible eleven of CD Tenerife: Soriano; Mellot, Sipcic, León, Nacho; Aitor Sanz, Corredera; Luismi Cruz, Roberto López, Waldo Rubio; and Enric Gallego.

Real Oviedo, which since returning to professional football in 2015 has still not managed to win in its first League match, opens the regular competition by visiting a Tenerife team that, like the blues, excites its fans after the signings made this year. summer.
Álvaro Cervera has up to five casualties for the visit to the Heliodoro Rodríguez López, among which the injuries of Luismi and Masca stand out, which occurred this week, and that of Jaime Seoane, the last blue signing who will not be able to be in the game because He still has to travel to Mexico to get his work permit there, be registered in Pachuca and then formalize his loan to Oviedo before LaLiga.

The blue coach has several doubts in his head, although the goal is one of the most obvious, since Quentin Braat, a regular starter last season and already recovered from the shoulder injury that ended the season, and the signing -on loan for Mallorca- Leo Román is competing to start the League defending the Oviedo goal after a preseason in which both have played a leading role.
The defensive line made up of Lucas Ahijado, David Costas, Dani Calvo and Abel Bretones is one of the great certainties of Oviedo de Cervera, with Jimmy and Camarasa occupying a double pivot in which, if the hip pain allowed it, Luismi would be .
Midfielder Yayo, a regular throughout the first team’s preseason, is the only player from the reserve team present in the squad of 21 players, and it is not ruled out that he will have minutes in Tenerife due to Oviedo’s absences in the midfield.
The possible eleven of Real Oviedo: Leo Roman; Lucas, Costas, Dani Calvo, Abel Bretones; Viti, Jimmy, Camarasa, Sebas Moyano; Hugo Rama and Borja Bastón.
