When Real Zaragoza returns the next morning After having played in Oviedo, hopefully with three points in their suitcases and, therefore, with 30 in the classification, It will already be March 1st. There will be only 15 days of the league tournament 2020-21, the most compressed of the last decades, since it started well into September and will end on May 30.
The fate of Real Zaragoza in this abrupt and dizzying league is going to turn to its account, therefore, 90 days. That is exactly what remains of the tournament. In this short stretch of time his future is going to be discerned, which has only two exits, When the calendar is galloping towards three quarters of the competition: or he achieves permanence in the Second Division, adding enough points to do so, or he does not do so and, therefore, he is led to a decline that would bring serious consequences of all kinds and the one that has been trying to escape since before Christmas. At this point, there are no more options, no more aspirations. Or white, or black. No grays.
It’s only 90 days to work on this content-laden future. A quarter that will fly away, Since there are still two weekdays to be played out of the seven that La Liga scheduled for most of the participants and that, for Real Zaragoza, will be nine as the first two dates have been postponed in summer due to their late conclusion of the previous league ( recovered in their day in Wednesday duels).
March will host five games. April, four. And the decisive May, six, a barbarity as a final fireworks. Everything crucial that Real Zaragoza has at stake is going to happen at full speed.
In 90 days there will be 45 points in dispute. And you won’t be able to waste many of them the blanquillo team. On the contrary, the future of the league, the pressure of his rivals in the lower zone of the qualifying table, is likely to force him to add enough of them if you want to succeed in your delicate challenge.
In March, in just six days, the Tenerife to La Romareda; Jim’s will travel to Vallecas; they will receive Mirandés; will visit Logroño; and, around Wednesday 31st, he will play at La Romareda on Cartagena, on one of those two pending business days.
In April, you will start traveling to Fuenlabrada; will pass through Zaragoza on Almeria; then another displacement, to Gerona; and, likewise, the duel will be settled with the Sporting de Gijón at home.
And, at last, the grounds of mayo, with half a dozen final sentencing matches. The journey to Lugo will be the first; the visit to Zaragoza of Spanish, the second challenge of the month of the final decision; the displacement to The palms it will be the third link; the duel at La Romareda against him Castellón, around Wednesday 19, on the last day of the hacienda, the fourth bead of the rosary; the trip to Son Moix to face the Mallorca, the fifth and penultimate stop; and the culmination, the 42nd, the terminal station of the tournament, which will bring to the municipal stadium Leganes.
Upon returning the next night from Oviedo eight games at home and seven in the role of visitors will be left to face. The ‘no more’ of French roulette, 90 days at full speed, with life and death matches on a chain.
When the league reaches this point in its journey, already well advanced, the hackneyed argument of ‘match by match’ is gradually losing strength because the countdown ends up imposing itself due to its shortness and significance. The future of the tournament is no longer seen as a long, wide horizon, full of matches and with a hundred different twists and turns to lead. Now, the accounts are beginning to be simple, clear, with few unknowns since many X’s and I’s have already been cleared, for better or worse, in the preceding five months. Real Zaragoza has 90 decisive days waiting for its future.
