But the quality and work of the players, along with the work of their coach, Paul Parga, they were put in a different situation. “We were giving the bucket to equipment intended for other purposes. He Dumbria he lost both games with us for the first time in history; he Sadurnino’s dreamwho always won in Vigo, lost 3:0,” he recalls.

With these and other results, they were given opportunities last day play ff and they entered against all odds. “We didn’t plan it and we were absolutely happy,” he emphasizes. Solved, with support City Council of Vigoan economic stumbling block for travel, he found another determinant: «Four players could not travel because of work and Pablo Basante he was injured the day before the trip to Castellón,” he reveals.

In the end they traveled “with 50% of the team», calculate. They were supplemented with youngsters and juniors, and despite that they gave “everyone” and even won the last game. “Based on the balance between everyone, we agree with the board, the players and the coach that everyone was there, we would climb”reveals Touza.

In this sense, he praises that Parga also works a lot with the base: “If he continues, his wisdom That will help us keep sending players out.”

Not forgetting that they could make a plant with qualitywhich added to it «a lot job“and that there was “nothing from chinitas that bothered” in the form of disagreements in the dressing room, he appreciates.

looking for a sponsor

Touza’s big goal for the next course is to find a sponsor. “We will continue to fight it. With him, we could still set a promotion goal.
