“Leaving the Real is a very complicated dream”

The president of SD Ponferradina, José Fernández Nietowho is on his way to celebrating his silver anniversary at the head of his land’s entity, which he took to the silver category on three occasions and where he played for a decade at its various stages, saw the eliminatory of King’s Cup before the Royal Society as “a very complicated dream,” he recognized in an interview with EFE.

The Bercian president, who has experienced other historic rounds such as cup duels against real Madrid, Villarreal either Sevilleyou go “very few options” to surprise the team of San Sebastián “because they are a really good team and, even if it is only one game and many things can happen, the truth is just looking at the fact that their subsidiary is ahead of us in The league says it all.”

Despite this, Fernández Nieto is “excited” after Deportiva changed the hesitant dynamics at the beginning of the league championship, where it was closer to the relegation places than the promotion places, which, again, is again the goal that sees it closer to the edge to finish the first round after reaching third place, just behind the leader, Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa and Real Sociedad B.

“It is logical that it can be difficult to start at the best level when it is a completely renewed team, with a new coach as well and that is why there was some uncertainty, but There is no doubt about the ability of the team and the coach,” he assured. Recent bad experiences

In fact, the previous unsuccessful experiences in changing the bench, without continuing in the last seasons in the Second Division and the last in the debut in First RFEFwhich led to the rejection of any replacement proposal, “because it is not always a solution,” he emphasizes.

The team’s trajectory, from less to more, the president of Deportivo asserted, on several occasions during the interview, that “it is very long and many things can happen, like last season when we were winter champions with ten points against Deportivo, that when we visited Riazor may have been left behind. thirteen and eventually he was promoted early”.

What he did not hesitate to acknowledge was the good dynamics of his provincial rival, the Leonese Culture and Sportsalways increasing, at least around, the concern, but now that he is closer – six points – he believes that everything will decide “in the last ten days, where we will see how everything is and not now and there is certainly a wide range of candidates, because this category is very difficult. More participation of institutions

Last season’s poor results, in which promotion was not achieved and changes were also made to the bench and the squad, left a budget deficit of 73,000 euros and forced an adaptation of the accounts for the current sports year “more realistic and adapted to the situation of the entity and the region of El Bierzo itself”, setting a budget of 4.2 million euros.

The president of the SD Ponferradina continues to request, now with more insistence before the lack of television supportgreater support from the Institutions, compared to other rivals who receive greater participation in their provinces or Autonomous Communities.

“They should appreciate that Ponferradina is named after the city and the entire region across Spain and I think there is very little support, not for this club, but for sport in general when they are institutions with possibilities,” he concluded.
