“I burst into tears when they took the ball out of Real Sociedad”

CF Panadería Pulido San Mateo is the winner of the draw. The team from the municipality of Vega de San Mateo, of about 7,600 inhabitants, will face Real Sociedad, the current leader of the First Division, in the first round. A pairing that has been received with great joy in the locality and in particular for its president Armando Santana, who attended AS after the draw: “When they released the Real, I burst into tears, we had a lot of tension. All the adrenaline and excitement came out. It is an enormous satisfaction ”.

Although the joy for the pairing with the txuri-urdin team has overwhelmed the municipality, the club had another preference for proximity, Las Palmas: “If they had let me choose, I would have asked Las Palmas because it is a team from the island that would bring us a lot hobby. But the Real has overwhelmed it. It is a historical milestone. “ While the players must maintain their ecstasy and continue training for the next League game, the board must plan the Cup, since the possibility of playing in another field that is not theirs is very great: “We are considering the possibilities of going to another stadium, ours is very small, it only accommodates people from here.” It is not something new, in the last editions of the Cup the clubs paired against First and Second teams have looked for other stadiums with greater capacity to increase their income and comply with the requirements imposed by the RFEF so that they can be televised.

Despite the fact that Real Sociedad has renowned and international players such as Oyarzabal and Isak, Armando Santana warns of two of his weapons: “In our forward is Braulio, who drops the ball very well and has a good shot, and Aday, who is very fast in the race”. In addition, on the bench they have Juan Carlos Socorro, former player of Las Palmas and Elche, with extensive experience in duels of such magnitude.. La Vega de San Mateo is celebrating, they have won the cup lottery and they allow themselves to dream of passing and in which team they would like to be played: “Valencia, Villarreal, Betis, Barcelona or Madrid would be fantastic. I wish that feat” .
