Castilla beats again

It has been 50 days of crisis. Of doubts. Of setbacks and suspense. Of drought. Castilla has gone 50 days without winning (since January 8, 2-1 vs Andorra). But everything has a beginning and an end, even bad streaks. And since at Di Stéfano everything goes off without a hitch, at Di Stéfano the blow was struck on the table. First Alvaro Rodriguezthen Anthony White (with the incomprehensible help of Razakluxury spectator of a volleyball… Parable) and finally Dotor and Arribas They decided a triumph that knows double. Even triple. Because it gives 3 points, a moral high and another in the classification. Enough to escape hell. The decline.

In that dance of schemes that he does Raul, sometimes so defensive and others, so impetuous, this time it was the seconds. A 4-3-3 with two lanes who look more at the rival goal than their own: Marvin and Miguel Gutierrez. In the middle the captains of an engine room with magic, Anthony White closing, Dotor arriving and Arribas, moving. And above, escorting a Alvaro Rodriguez horny, Peter and Aranda. Before him, a Linares in the relegation zone that had only won one of the last six days. And whose last home win dates back to December 4, at the home of the bottom team, Betis B.

Castilla was far superior, much. Owner and lord of the ball, playing with personality and horrifying Razak at every arrival. Raúl recovered that version of his team that can -and should- bring him closer to the promotion zone than to where he is, in the fright zone. A subsidiary firmly back and dynamite up. After two arrivals by way of introduction, the first arrived. Miguel Gutiérrez broke through on the left, like Miguel Gutierrezand after serving a low center, defined Alvaro Rodriguez first with the interior. Raso to the far post. Simple. He clenched his fist 37 and he jumped up to three times in celebration. Sensation of relief not only personal, but generalized.

Without visitor reaction came the second. Anthony Whiteafter a possible foul on Arribas, a volley was invented from the edge of the field that skimmed the crossbar. Half a goal was the captain’s; the other half, from Razak, that maybe blinded by the sun, maybe because of a waste of confidence, or maybe because zampóto dry and speaking in silver… He didn’t even jump for the ball. His teammates, incredulous, watched as the former Córdoba player, he simply let himself fall backwards in a gesture of helplessness, when it seemed that he could stop it. Not easily, but she could do something.

Perhaps that visiting frustration was what made him rip his shirt. And instil fear. Pompadour slipped between Gila and Carrillo, reached the peak of the small area and, almost without angle, a spectacular Vaseline was invented that surpassed Fuidias. Marvin cleared with a heel at the line, but the ball had crossed it slightly. A great goal after the controversy. Because with 2-0 Marvin arrived very late at ground level and committed a cathedral penalty that the referee did not point out. The side himself, as mischievous as he was aware of the crime, quickly left the scene, trying to turn the page. “Nothing has happened here,” he said without saying anything. Hugo Díaz, the victim, limited himself to crossing his arms in disbelief. The Andalusians found consolation through Copete.

But the joy was short-lived. Specifically, 3 minutes. what it took Dotor in gaining the position to Sanchidrián and surpassing Razak with a subtle touch. A hand in hand that certified that hand that Castilla needed to get out of his private well. Raúl’s men cradled the game with calm and temperance. Defending with the ball and leaning out in search of the fourth goal that would be hard to come by, but it would come. Arribasaccustomed to the difficult, for once he only had to do the easy thing: push a death pass into a half-empty goal.

Whistle, 4-1 and final. Castilla, after four games and 50 days of drought, won again and escaped relegation. It is 6 points from the playoff with two games less. If you find the key to regularity, you can delude yourself. If Raúl gets his team to always be this one, there will still be something to say. He will be able to look up. The bad news is that not all games can be at the Di Stéfano. The good news, that Castilla has returned to beat.
