The most unconditional Lugo supporter: Jorge Loureiro, everywhere with the team

Author: Oscar Cela

An ever-present for Ángel Carro, the 19-year-old Sarria supporter has also accompanied the team on all their trips throughout the season

“I always liked to travel. In previous seasons, I went on some trips, and this year I went on all of them and I succeeded”. The loyalty of Jorge Loureiro (Sarria, 2023) to the club Deportivo Lugo They make him an exceptional supporter, perhaps a unique case in Spanish football where a humble team is followed everywhere and usually gives its people little joy when they play on other people’s ground. It is true that in the second round, when it already seemed that the fall was inevitable, the twitches became more difficult for me, it was more difficult for me to decide, admits this young Alvibermell fan who witnessed from the stands. all games at Ángel Carro and did not miss a single game played at home.

Jorge has only seen Lugo win in Zaragoza, Santander and Burgos, but he has no regrets about spending a good chunk of his savings on driving miles across Spain to cheer on the rojiblanco team. «Of course I would have liked to celebrate more victories, but the experience was worth it. It stays for life,” he explains. He also says that the club thanked him for his loyalty to the colors by inviting him to travel to Ibiza with the team and provided him with tickets for the matches afterwards. He was surprised by the route plan of the rojiblanca expedition during that visit to the Balearic island. “We went and returned on the same day of the match. We left at nine in the morning and came back at dawn. I think that is not usual and most appropriate for a professional team,” asks Jorge, who in frequent contact with the team closer relationship with Pablo Claveria, Ángel Baena and Sebas Moyana. “Some more than others, but generally they’re all pretty nice,” he says. He also had the opportunity to learn more about the character of the four coaches that the team had, and the first stands out, Hernán Pérez, “I am particularly gentle”“, already Fran Justo, “also very close». Joan Carrillo and Íñigo Vélez were surprised by their “little empathy”.

Of the 21 matches he witnessed outside of Lugo, he chose El Sardinero as the best — “that was the one I enjoyed the most,” he assures — and of the rival hobbies he lived with, he kept Alavés. “It is impressive that they encourage. They deserve to be promoted to the First League just because of their fans. The Levante one disappointed me the most – he says.

By plane to the island, to Malaga by bus, and other trips by car with a partner or friends

Jorge Loureiro followed Lugo by land and air. Besides this trip to Ibiza as another member of the albivermella expedition, he also traveled by plane to Las Palmas and Tenerife, the only destinations, along with Granada, where he stayed for more than a day. “Since the match in Tenerife was on the second day, in August, my partner and I took advantage of that to be on vacation for a week. We stayed in Las Palmas for three days, and I spent the night in Granada and returned the next day,” he says.

Jorge almost always traveled accompanied by his partner or various friends in his Volkswagen Golf and, “fortunately”, never had any accidents. “The trip with the worst memories was to Villarreal B’s ground. We spent the night in Bilbao and due to my partner’s health reasons we had to stop several times and it took us much longer than expected to get there,” recalls Jorge, disappointed by the team’s decline after a campaign that considers “very bad in all aspects”.

Will you repeat the experience next season in the First League? “Now the trips will be shorter, but I don’t know, I’m not sure yet,” answers the albivermel lover.
