The lucky president

Toni Justicia (Jaén, 1976) was appointed president of Alcoyano on December 15. The club made it official on January 1 and a week later, he got the 'fat'. Justicia, settled in the city since he was two years old, has fallen on his feet in El Collao. He has been president for only a month and tonight, with Real Madrid present, he will be one of the luckiest leaders on the planet. Justice has only presided over one Alcoyano game from his armchair before taking on a big one and it was against Huesca, also First, in the previous Cup tie.

Justice admits that he is not a “fan” of football and that Alcoyano has always been his team, but he shoots the target. “If I have to lean towards a club, I would do it for Madrid. But let it be clear that before being a Madrid player I am from Alcoyano, it is my city's team “ it states.

Justicia, manager of a telecommunications company, has been the bet of a Board of Directors that has seen someone close to him in this Alcoy to try to transmit the values ​​of a club with tradition. “I face an important and difficult challenge. I am very excited to preside over Alcoyano because it has some romanticism. I want to give Alcoyano back to the people, “says Justicia, who dreams of reliving Deportivo's best years, those in which the team was on everyone's lips for their exploits in the First (it was four seasons) and Second Division ( 12).

Justice dreams of giving the bell and boasts of his luck, since Alcoyano has not known defeat since he took over the team. “It is a shame that it is played without an audience because El Collao is one of those fields that are like a hotbed. The opponent feels that you are blowing on the neck. For footballers, playing without an audience will be like having a wall in front of them. It is very sad. Still, this is football and anything can happen. Alcoyano is sure to make things difficult for Madrid “, concludes the lucky president.
