Calls between coaches, in sports cities, fly. There are nerves, tension and a lot of uncertainty. The manager of the first team calls the second team and this one the youth team. This scene has been repeated a thousand times in recent days. It touches to look for effective to complete training and who knows if to debut this weekend.
The sixth wave has fully affected football clubs and the next day, after a crazy break that has left more than 80 positives for COVID In the First teams, he has disrupted the coaches’ plans.
Many teams will be forced to use the subsidiary, from its quarry. The kids are on duty and there will be several who get on the plane of the first team and complete the calls. The quarry asks for passage for days marked by positives, quarantines and PCR. It’s time to show off muscle to demonstrate the work that is done from the lower categories.
Since the teams returned to work after the break, training sessions have been plagued these days by young people wanting to take over the world. Homegrown players who want to gain a foothold, as the 62 who have debuted this year have already done between League and Cup.
In San Sebastián and Vila-real they are calm. Also in Lezama. There the culture of the quarry is part of the day to day. Few are nervous about an unexpected COVID cataract like this one. La Real, in the ranking of affected players, has already made their debut for six homegrown players This season and Zubieta has the best subsidiary in Spain, if one considers its presence in the Second Division. Imanol Alguacil, one of the technicians who has been chipping stone for a long time, starts with an advantage.
Clubs like Rayo, where the virus has fully crept through the walls of their locker room and those affected exceed ten, have also had to look askance at their subsidiary, although no young promise has yet been released. El Rayo, as happens to many teams, has his team ‘B’ in Third RFEF, in the fifth category of Spanish football. The jump is tremendous, they think of Espanyol, Valencia or Mallorca. The greats, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, have already made use of their subsidiaries this year, especially at the Camp Nou. The injuries in the squad culé advanced a process that many clubs will experience for the first time in the next few days.
