Season by season, the Second B is collecting myths. Those veteran players, who have gone through all the categories of Spanish football and who are recognized by the common fan. Something weirder is that they coincide, but Atlético Sanluqueño has succeeded for the next campaign. First it closed the continuity of the last Spanish First Division pichichi, Dani Güiza. Later, he surprised with the hiring of the 'Doctor' Diego Cervero, a classic that will go from helping in coronavirus hospitals to continue celebrating goals on the pitch.
At 36 years old, 'Doc ', as he is nicknamed, takes a new step in his professional career. Last winter market, after not having too many opportunities at Atlético Baleares, signed by Barakaldo. No adaptation time was needed. In his first game he scored and in the second he held a hat-trick. What's more, that day he whipped from the center of the field that will surely be on the podium for the best goals in Spanish football this season. One more of the 134 that has celebrated in its 339 duels in the bronze category, which makes him one of the top ten gunners in his history.
His nickname, 'the Doctor' or 'Doc', was born from his degree in Medicine and Surgery. Through Barakaldo's social networks, he offered to help in medical centers that needed more health support. “Although inexperienced, I am very excited to help in these difficult times,” he said. Said and done, he signed up as a volunteer doctor at the Oviedo Red Cross and it has been collaborating to curb the spread of the pandemic and to help people most at risk.

Next to him will be, nothing more and nothing less, Dani Güiza. At 39, the battering ram refuses to hang up his boots and still has an important media poster. It's more, in quarantine an image of him went viral in a supermarket, with a shopping cart full of beers Cruzcampo. Subsequently, the brand sponsored the announcement of its renewal until June 2021.
Güiza arrived at the Andalusian club in the 2017-18 season, with the aim of moving up to the Second Division B. Said and done, he did it to the first and now he will seek to contribute to the change to the Second B Pro. However, no longer has the success of face to door from previous years. This season He has not even managed to celebrate a single goal in his 21 games played. Of course, in most of them he has started as a substitute.
Now, both will form a mythical pair, which could well have been a starting duo of the First Division years ago. Beyond the story behind their backs, they will have to jump onto the grass and demonstrate that expectations are not through the roof. At least, of course they will attract cameras to El Palmar.
