The union strengthened Racing de Ferrol

One of the key to Racing’s success in this 2022/2023 season It was a union of its staff. The Racinguista dressing room was a pineapple, an example of hard work, generosity with teammates and commitment to face all challenges and overcome adversity that came their way. There is quality in abundance in the Racinguista team, players who make the difference. But what was achieved was the success of a team where every player took their role and tried to score, whether on the pitch, from the bench or cheering from the stands. All players want more playing time, although no one has thrown in the towel and everyone worked to convince Cristóbal that he should play. This template was exemplary, well planned and with all positions covered.

Goal

Gianfranco Gazzaniga and its quality ceases. Racing, with 25 goals conceded in 38 games, was the second least defeated team in the first group, surpassed only by Alcorcón, who conceded two goals less. Part of this success is Italian-Argentine goalkeeper Gianfranco Gazzaniga, who has had incredible hands in many of his games. The green goal was well covered, as Diego Rivas is another backup goalkeeper available to Cristóbal in case Gazzaniga gets injured or his performance drops. The third goalkeeper was Joan Salvá, a talented youngster with a promising future who is using the season to learn from the two great goalkeepers in front of him.

Defense

Four central luxury. Jon García, David Castro, Quique Fornos and Tomás Bourdal are the four best central defenders in the category that Cristóbal Parralo has been moving around according to the needs of the team. Together with them two children: Enol Coto and Brais Martínez, who do not stop growing and progressing, as well as Aitor Pascual from Ferrol, ready to lend a hand.

Middle

Luxury midfield. Fran Manzanara, Jesús Bernal, Álex López, Luis Chacón and David del Pozo They offered Racing an engine that does not shut down, enormous capacity to work in the midfield, which improved the team both in defense and attack. Apart from the work ability of Fran Manzanara or Jesús Bernal, in many games Álex has contributed the level of experience he adds to his boots to improve the team with good ball circulation or filtered passes to the most advanced teammates. Together with them, Luis Rodríguez Chacón from Eumés managed to make the step forward that was expected of him and showed what he can give to the team, his dynamism, speed and above all his goal scoring ability contributed greatly to the Ferrol team in this second campaign in the First RFEF .

Attack

Two extremes of luxury. Carlos Vicente was the best reinforcement for the Ferrol team and Héber Pena is having one of his best seasons. Together they form the best pair of wing players in the First Federation. Manu Justo, Jaume Jardí, Pep Caballé, Jorge Padilla or Manel Martínez helped complete the attack with a large distribution of goals.

Injured

On 22 October 2022, the ninth day of the league, Racing suddenly lost two of their best defenceswith Fernando Pumar and Luca Ferrone, two initial pages. His defeat was a heavy downfall for the team, which has since fallen to the bottom from which it was difficult to recover. In the first nine days of the league, until the injuries of these players, Racing butted heads, for four days it was the leader of the competition. What would have happened if these two players had not been injured, it is impossible to know, there is no going back, although the odds were incredible, because the team played at a high level from the first day of the league. Cristóbal had to rebuild the defense, bring in kids like Enolo Coto or Brais Martínez, barely 20 years old, who joined the team with the intention of learning and improving as the competition progresses. His must have been a sudden apprenticeship. Both of them knew how to grow and today they are already essential in their position.

Another failure played him Josel Gomez, who played awkwardly and scored as many as five goals. But in the middle of the season, the knee said enough, a chronic injury suddenly manifested itself and made it impossible for the player to lend a hand, except with the support of the band or in the locker room. Without Joselu, Racing lost their usual fourteen or fifteen goals each season, from the player who gave Racing so many afternoons of glory.
