Iván Fernández (Madrid, 1977) is confident that everything will go well on Sunday and dreams of beating Real. The president of Cazalegas hopes to have a good collection, but above all to inform his project and that region of Toledo. your idol? Don Luis Arconada.
What does this game mean for Cazalegas?
We are a two year and four month old club. Everyone talks about the economic issue, but the best and most important thing is the diffusion that you don’t give. Cazalegas has 1,700 inhabitants and for our institute, Ébora Formación, which supports the project, the players, the region and the fans is something incredible. A catch. A very good thing.
Is gambling in Talavera a chore or a blessing?
The second. La Real’s action was impressive and even offered to move the game to San Sebastián. It is the best, but we have to fight to make it here. Talavera is attached to Cazalegas and has a very nice course. It is not as big as Anoeta, but it can hold 3,500 or 4,000 people.
Have they bought everything?
We had to reserve tickets for Spanish Television and we were going for 3,300 tickets sold. We will sign up to reach 3,500.
Does it save the year?
To give you an idea, we brought 45 people to ‘El Prado’, only private security. This will help me cover three or four monthly payments for the players, but not more.
How much do they expect to raise?
About 75,000 euros. And in costs we will spend more than 20,000 euros.
There was a party in the locker room when Real played, what inspires the president of this team?
I’m from Madrid, I won’t lie to you, but Real is one of the teams I like the most. I say this is the team in the best shape in Europe. It is above Manchester United in the Europa League. We were unlucky in the tournament, we could have got a weaker Primera (laughs).
What does he want?
The values he has, the coach seems amazing to me and those details like Imanol going to Zamora’s locker room to greet the players. It is an exemplary club, which can teach us many things. We will try to learn on Sunday.
Don’t tell me you see the options to pass…
The motto that prays in the sports city, of which we also have a large one, says “Reality is false and dreams are true.” Let’s dream it. It’s FREE. We have a huge mountain to climb, but we’re going to put on some harnesses to fall as little as possible. We have a competitive spirit and we will try. And if La Real beat us, let them win the Cup, to say: ‘We played against the Cup champion this year’. We will support you till the end.
What are your players doing?
There is variation. Ruben Riverathe captain, who is referred to, is a delivery man for a transport company. Albert Alonso, one of this year’s star signings, is a teacher at my professional training institute, Ébora Formación. Then there are children studying in the institute, Ferrer he is a baker, Borja Escoredo working in a slaughterhouse, ‘killer’ this year, Alfredo RamosHe works in construction with his father. potter that’s commercial…
Is Arconada really your idol?
I promise you. Arconada is my idol. I loved Atotxa, it was charming. Madrid had a terrible time there. Arconada is the best. And then he joined the national team and became the benchmark, the captain. I have never cried more in my life than when France scored the goal in the final of the European Championship. I asked my father how it happened, that it had slipped out from under him.
Have you met Aperribay?
I talked to him on What App. And Olabe’s too. When you see how a club behaves, the one who runs it must have the same personality and such clear ideas. He will be an amazing person. On Sunday I will meet him at the leadership luncheon.
And what does he say about Imanol?
This is a reference that we should focus on: education, knowing how to be. He knows how to appreciate everything and every aspect of football. I think he’s a fantastic coach.
There were casualties. Kubo won’t go…
La Real has one of the best quarries at the national level. I hope Kubo and Silva come, but whoever comes deserves respect and will be a player like the top of a pine tree.
How will you sleep on Saturday?
Worried that everything will be fine and that everyone will be in their seats at two minutes to seven, but I will dream of something beautiful.
