Vallecas is not a beast to tame. If proof is needed, there is the Thunderbolt: fighter, fierce, supportive and always rebellious. These values, along with the classic bravery, courage and nobility, permeate each of the players wearing The Strip each season to keep the Santa Inés afloat, despite all adversities.
This campaign also includes Auñón, heir to the captaincy of the unforgettable Alicia Gómez, Andújar, Pilar García, Camila Sáez, Paula Fernández, Iris, Larqué, Sheila and company. For this, trained by a Carlos Santiso who faces his second season at the helm of Rayo, They get muscle at home, where they haven't lost since November 22, in the tough defeat against Madrid CFF by 1-4.
Since then, four wins and two draws at home, that contrast with the results obtained outside, four defeats, a draw and a victory. The last time the franjirrojo team won at home was against Santa Teresa, on December 22, on matchday 13.
Those of Carlos Santiso are compensating that weak point with his great work in Vallecas, where Betis, Eibar, Sporting Huelva, Espanyol and Deportivo have knelt down, all direct rivals for salvation. Also, the fringes they have added a point against rivals of another league, the one above, like Athletic and Raise.
Ahead there are complicated games – a visit to the intractable Barcelona included -, but Rayo continues to show, day after day, that this team never gives up. ADT is also psyched about that, who received the encouragement of her teammates in Sunday's game after her cruciate ligament tear. With 22 points in 20 games, six above relegation, permanence is a little closer.
