ANDhe last Friday, after the hard defeat against Almería, I had the feeling that something was really wrong with Alcorcón. And not only because of the win and the display of Umar Sadiq. He left Juan Antonio Anquela cariacontecido to press conference. Minutes before, he had been spurred on by his fans, who with a 0-4 against on the scoreboard did not tire of chanting his name. The coach had the strength to reverse the situation. But they haven’t let him.
Just a few hours later, and after he completed his last training in Santo Domingo, ‘Anquelotti’ was notified of his dismissal. He directed the session without knowing that it was the last, in the same way that a server was with him at a press conference shortly before, without knowing (or at least, with certainty) that there would not be more. That line-up sheet of the Almeria-Alcorcón, therefore, I will have to keep it forever. The last game of the míster in Alcorcón. Or at least, in this second stage.
And after the cessation, the expected arrived: the storm. The hobby of Alcorcón exploded and condemned the removal of Anchor it, who has already replaced Jorge Romero, the subsidiary’s technician until now and who is a great personal bet of Emilio Vega, the sports director. It will be necessary to see if time gives the reason to Bembibre and the new potter technician meets the objectives. But, of course, the forms have left much to be desired.
He said Anchor it the other day that what hurt the most about this was having the feeling of having walked out the back door of his soul team. From the club he came to when everything was a field, which is often said. With just a handful of employees and very few spectators in the stands, and with the team very close to descending to Third division. But the Linares coach changed everything and with him, Alcor resurfaced and ‘Until the last minute of the last game’ became a mantra. ‘Alcorconazo‘, promotion to Second Division, that final in Valladolid for the promotion to First … and the agonizing permanence of last season. All of this was accomplished with the only person who seemed to make it possible. The same man who was tasked this year with doing his homework again, but has been suspended even before the assessment exams. Like the child whom the teacher has already sentenced from the beginning of the course.
In that sense, one would have to wonder what has been done wrong in the club to reach this situation, just three and a half months after the euphoria unleashed by the permanence of Alcor and the day when both the club and the city of Alcorcón, they honored Anchor it and they put a soccer field with his name in the facilities of Santo Domingo. In an act, by the way, in which Emilio Vega was present and in which Ignacio Álvarez, the general director of Alcor, wanted to speak. “Anquela is the greatest exponent of the union between fans, club and city”, emphasized the manager then. Three estates that today, barely 90 days after that unforgettable recognition of the coach, they are further apart than ever. And that is a serious problem that must be solved now.
Because they all pursue a common goal that must not be lost sight of: que Alcorcón stay one more year in the Second Division. Anquela was promised a competitive project that would allow the team not to go through the hardships of last year. And, although important players have left and those who have arrived, for the moment, have not given the expected level, there is still a world. But you have to work from now to reverse the situation, thinking about unity and leaving aside the regrets and visceral feelings. That is already known: they come to nothing.
Anchor it He said it very clearly: “To get this out, we all have to go the same way.” And that’s something to keep in mind. Because it is useless for the fans to uncheck the club’s block. Because not going to Santo Domingo as a protest would only complicate things more. The team, we must not forget, is only three points away from relegation. And there are very committed footballers in it. What Dani Jimenez, a true standard and that has been renewed until 2024. And Laure, the captain of Anquela. AND Carlos Bellvis, the player with the most matches in Segunda with Alcorcón. AND Gio zarfino, which took just a few minutes against Mirandés to put the fans in their pockets. AND Moyano and his self-confidence. And the youth squad Oscar Arribas. AND David Fernández and Juan Aguilera, two of the boss’s foremen.
Because all of them, like Jorge Romero and the rest of the squad, will put on their overalls from now on to save the team and allow Alcorcón to continue being Second’s ‘grandfather’. It is clear that there must be a deep internal reflection, but also that unity must prevail so that the Alcor does not sink. As i wanted Anchor it. As i dreamed Esteban Marquez. It has to be done for them. We must save Alcorcón.
