In sport, as in life, there are opponents with whom you have a healthy rivalry that over the years can even turn into a good friendship (and the example of Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal is not very distant in time) and other rivals. with whom you keep the forms for that of education, but against whom you feel a special motivation when it comes to facing them.
This is the case of the Navalcarnero with the Segoviana. It is true that both cities have been twinned for a long time and that even on the shield of the Madrid municipality an aqueduct shines, but the reality is that in the sports section, the ‘Naval’ and the Gimnástica have not been the best neighbors in the world, and No one in the Barça family forgets that in stoppage time of the last league game of the 21/22 campaign, a ‘rare rare’ goal from Marino de Luanco in the Navalcarnero field sent La Segoviana to risk remaining in the play out against Cerdanyola.
As it does not seem that people from Segovia and Madrid are going to go through difficulties to maintain the category, the challenge already involves looking for a third place in the playoffs to Primera RFEF, which at the moment is for La Segoviana, but which will be occupied by Navalcarnero if it achieves what it does not. No one has achieved this season, which is to win in the La Albuera field, the gymnastic fort to which Ramsés has always appealed to maintain the good line of results, and more so for this match “which is more attractive than normal against a an opponent that traditionally we are not very good at” although they have not had too bad results either, putting the 0-0 lead in the first leg in which ‘Toro’ Acuña could not get past the goalkeeper after taking a penalty.
Precisely Acuña will continue to be low in the gymnastics team for the match that will begin at five in the afternoon. Both with him and with Dani Arribas, great care is taken when dealing with muscular problems that can be reproduced with some ease if they are not well cured, and although in the case of Acuña he has already been absent for a good number of weeks, the good role that The team is doing means that he is not missed so much, although there is no doubt that his presence on the field offers more alternatives in attack.
The coaching staff confirmed that the rest of the squad is in order and available to play, once López and Rubén have completed the warning cycle, and the former has also recovered from his discomfort. The team led by Pablo Álvarez will arrive with some absences due to suspension, since the central defender Fratelli and the attacking players Parra and Kun saw the yellow card with which they complete the cycle in the match against Estepona, so they will not be available in The Albuera. A fact that does not subtract one iota of difficulty from a game between neighbors who get along well… but perhaps not much.
