MADRID, Jan. 14 (SportsFinding) –
The vice president of the Unionists, Javier Tejedor, described as “an incredible experience” to be able to measure Real Madrid in the sixteenth round of the Copa del Rey five years after its founding, and ruled out that they want to play in another scenario than their Las Pistas field.
“This will be an incredible experience for a club like Unionistas, which five years ago was competing in dirt fields and is a club that is owned by its members,” Tejedor told the media after the draw.
“Receiving Real Madrid will be an incredible experience for the club, for the work group of 50 volunteers who ride the field every day and for the city of Salamanca and all the Salamanca people for everything that happened with the Sports Union because five or six years after his disappearance, being able to take Real Madrid into an official game is a dream, “the manager insisted.
This made it clear that they want to play in their field, Las Pistas, despite the fact that their capacity can only accommodate 4,000 people. “I don't think it can be played anywhere else than in Las Pistas, it's the Unionist field and we will prepare it so that everything is well enough to receive a First,” he said.
“In principle it is ruled out, unless reasons outside the club force us,” he said, asked about the possibility of playing in other places like Zamora. “This is a prize for the 300 fans who traveled to La Laguna de Duero when we were in Regional and who are now members. It is the party of Salamanca, but it is our party,” he said.
Weaver recalled that the club “is based on two fundamental pillars.” “One is that of popular football and the other is that we are a tribute to the UD that disappeared in 2013,” he added. “It is a unique opportunity to show the message of our project. This is not the Sports Union, there was only one. Now there are two options in the city and everyone chooses what they want,” he said about the rivalry with Salamanca CF.
