Raúl's 'Castilla 2.0' starts

Raul He has barely had a week off after winning the UEFA Youth League as temporary coach of the Juvenil before putting on his tracksuit again and retaking the board. Now with their learning habitat since last season, Castilla. He Seven starts his second project as a technician for the white subsidiary: himself, his staff and his pupils will pass the PCR test today and tomorrow they will perform the first training with a lot of new face …

Raúl will have a moment to three signings. Two brand new, as are the attackers Hugo Duro (Getafe) and Kenneth Soler (Espanyol), and another, case of Hugo Vallejo, which is integrated after returning from assignment at Sports where he went directly after signing in January from Malaga.

A generational renewal built with a new litter that Raúl knows very well. The coach will have eleven of the players with whom he triumphed in the Youth League, the first of the white entity. Miguel Gutierrez leads this youth promotion that is completed with goalkeepers Luis Lopez (the hero of the final) and Fuidias, the right side Sergio santos, the central Pablo Ramon, the media Morante, Sintes, Dotor and Arribas, and the forwards Pablo Rodríguez and Latasa.

The club also manages other Operation Exit with Castilla. The captain, Fidalgo, important pieces such as Fran garcia (yesterday he closed his loan to Rayo) and has to find a solution for 'veterans' like Franchu and Belman, others with hardly any opportunities (Ayoub, Sergio López …) and those on loan who return, like Alberto and the Brazilian Augusto. The rest of casualties have been Dani gomez and Of fruits (I raised), Baeza (Celtic), Martin (Paços), Marc Gual (Alcorcón) and Manu Hernando (Ponferradina).

Everything will be, like the first team, in a preseason restricted to Valdebebas. Zidane has planned to go up to castillistas and they have to be available. Raúl's second round with Castilla, with the promotion to Second As a backdrop, it rolls.

The subsidiary will face the Balearic Islands in the new Second B

The stoppage due to the coronavirus ended Castilla's irregular 2019-20 season with a stroke of the pen. Raúl's first experience with the subsidiary, to which had risen meteorically after just a year in Factory, finished with the seventh team and without a promotion playoff. A challenge for him Seven which becomes more difficult because his Castile will travel through unknown terrain, the new format that the RFEF has implemented for restructure Second B towards Second B Pro …

In the previous model, the subsidiary alternated Groups I or II of the four (of 20 teams each) that made up Second B. Now, the homegrown players will compete in one of the two subgroups of ten teams from Group V. A decision that , for logistics, match Raúl and his family with the people of Madrid (Navalcarnero, Rayo Majadahonda, Atlético B, Getafe B, Las Rozas, Dux Internacional and Sanse) and the two Balearic Islands, Poblense and Atlético Baleares. The other subgroup brings together the Castilian-La Mancha and Extremadura.

A bizarre system. The Castilla will play 18 games and based on the results, you will see which subgroup you access next, where promotions, demotions and permanence will be decided. The top three from each of the subgroups they will play an intermediate phase to achieve promotion to Second. The top 30 will be divided after the first phase into five new subgroups of six teams. The best three of each of them (a total of 15) would play the traditional promotion phase together with the best quarter of the five mentioned subgroups.
