The Almeria seeks the championship of the category for the first time in its history. Pucela’s victory in Ipurúa prevents the rojiblancos from being promoted next Friday (9:00 p.m.) in San Sebastián, but it has also allowed take the lead four months later. And with just three days to go until the end of the championship, although the priority objective is promotion to the First Division, in the Indál dressing room he sets the challenge of being the champion of the category. In case of winning its three remaining games, the UDA would obtain the title of the silver division for the first time in its history.
After visiting a Real Sociedad B with emergencies and that believes more than ever in permanence, Rubi’s they will host an already relegated Alcorcón on Saturday 21 (9:00 p.m.) and will travel to Butarque on Sunday 29 (6:30 p.m.) to face Leganés with nothing at stake. Among numerous challenges to achieve in this end of the course, that of champion stands out, since never before in its history has it been achieved. UD Almería rose in 2007 as second classified (behind Valladolid), while in 2013 they rose in promotion after finishing third in the regular phase behind Elche and Villarreal. Yes, the extinct AD Almería did it in 1979: in the season of its debut in the Second Division it was champion, rising from Third to First in just three years.
The current club has not achieved it. In fact, until this season he had barely tried the first position in the silver category. He only looked from the top in six days of his entire history: 11 of exercise 02-03; 6 from 11-12, 1, 6 and 7 from 19-20; and the in the 24 of 20-21. This season he has gotten used to first place: he was the leader on the first date, on the eighth and ninth, and from the eleventh to the twenty-third. At the beginning of the year, Eibar snatched it from them at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos within that black January of the Almeria and now Rubi’s men have recovered it after the prick of the gunsmiths against Valladolid.
With the title of champion, Almería intends to put the finishing touch to a season in which they have lived in the heights from beginning to end. He has never dropped from fifth position and since day 6 he has always been on the podium. Good proof of the regularity of the Almeria team is that Of the 39 days, up to 35 have been in a direct ascent that could certify this week if on Friday they win in Anoeta and on Saturday Valladolid lose in their fiefdom the regional duel against Ponferradina, or if Almeria wins in San Sebastián, Pucela draws and Eibar loses in Butarque.
