It would not be easy to enthuse the loyal fans that prays his anthem, attending to the five coaches who have been on the bench in the last two years, to the usual delay each summer in setting up the squad, to the lack of an economic muscle that arouses the envy between the newly created First Federation or the bump that was caused by not even having caressed the return to professional football just two months ago. However, this time it is different and it is the Racing Santander the one that injects emotion into his project of returning by virtue of his jurisdiction and recovering the place that his history demands. By the Madrilenian from Aluche Guillermo Fernández Romo,
who a few months ago attended Mundo Deportivo, begins to explain everything.
Following the unfulfilled objectives of Iván Ania, Cristóbal, Oltra, Rozada and SolabarrietaRacing would have no doubt that the long-awaited resurgence of the Santander emblem was due to the hiring of a technician who knew better than anyone the mud that leads to professionalism. For the general public, Guillermo Fernández Romo would make a name for himself after knocking down the League champion, the Atlético de Madrid of Cholo Simeone, and stay one breath away from doing the same with the Barcelona. However, by then his Cornellá had already been one goal away from being promoted to Second. In fact, the new course he faces will be the technician's tenth in the third category of Spanish football.
Beyond his proven ability on a bench, Guillermo Fernandez Romo transcends the figure of a mere coach, forming an indivisible part of the Board of Directors and the Sports Directorate in decision-making at the football level. This seamless and one-way work between all parties is another indication that the invitation to dream of this new Racing is well founded. Gone are the disagreements, the lack of a common interest and the waste of resources to make way for union, work and awareness of the objectives involved in representing an institution with 108 years of life.
In this sense, the return of Fernandez Romo to Santander just two years after he failed to leave his stamp as general director of grassroots football after accepting the challenge, fulfilled, of keeping the newly promoted Ejea in Second B for the first time in its history, it is accompanied by new airs in the club. For now, a few days before the start of the preseason, the seven signings made (some with past in First as Fausto Tienza or Carlos Castro and all of them with an archi examined human profile that complements their capacity and professionalism) allow to shape the group from the first day of work on the green.
THE IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY
Outside the, Guillermo Fernandez Romo He is also convinced of the importance and added value that technology should bring. On the one hand, the one that the club makes available with the Bepro platform, used by Real society Y Alaves for example, which allows recording each individual and collective movement, both in the El Sardinero matches and in the training sessions at La Albericia, in order to have the most exhaustive analysis of data and performance.
And on the other, the one recently developed as a result of the technician's knowledge of Big Data, a system born to process and achieve a practical effect of the large volume of information. Two tools that seem like a differential and priceless factor in the purpose of rowing with all the strength to lead the Racing to the ports of draft that he should never have stopped frequenting.
