Losing interest is the most dangerous

It is true that I experienced a situation where Deportivo was outside the elite with Racing Santander, and although the parallels are not exact, in the end, with each passing year, the prestige that a club of this size should have grows is lost. Your rivals no longer see you as a historical figure. You are one more. That time in Santander was time Second B of four groups, which was lower than the current First Federation. This is increasingly powerful and difficult to climb. Another difference is that the ownership of Racing passed through the hands of people who came to profit. And Dépor’s problem is not this, the owner is not there to get money from him.

What surprises me the most, in favor of Dépor, is that the roots grow stronger every year. This year there were even more members than last year. And that interest in what is happening will protect you. But in El Sardinero broadcast the matches live with 3,000 spectators, and that is very difficult. The most dangerous thing is to lose the interest of the fans. This is not the case. And every time there’s a little nudge, people respond. I am very happy every time I go to A Coruña and see that environment, because I remain calm.

Everyone still considers Deportivo a different club. It plays against him, because he is an opponent to beat, but it also affects the players themselves more, because they are eaten away by that pressure that comes day in and day out. You are in the semi-professional category, but the condition is great competition. This is difficult to assess when approaching the transfer market, because it is related to state difficult to measure: psychological.

The tendency when it comes to forming teams is to look for specialists in the category, but that’s bread for today and hunger for tomorrow, because you can form a team with the possibility of advancement, and when you do that, you have to change it. . No one dares to go to Deportivo and sign for a single year. It is a series of relationships that are difficult to break and that state. It happened in Racing, and had to start over.
