Sports history is full of epic moments.moments that remain engraved in the memory of the people who take part in it, but also in the collective memory of us who live and witness them as admirers or spectators. Iniesta’s goal will always be remembered And needless to add anything else to know that we’re talking about that tremendous shot that the first and so far only Football World Cup in 2010 gave us.
Well then, it will be one of those magical and unforgettable moments that we carry the colors blue and red in our hearts. Juan Ortuño’s goal that sealed his rise Deportivo Eldense. A fantastic goal that brings to life the reward of effort and hard work throughout the season and returns our city to the silver category of Spanish football.
In Elda, sport has a bright past, a glorious present and an exciting future. I have always said that Elda is a sports city because of the dozens of clubs and the thousands of Eldens who train. More than 50 sports disciplines. The success of our Deportivo and CBF Elda Prestigio’s promotion to the highest category of national women’s handball a few weeks ago is a clear indication that we feel the passion for the sport at Elda.
Sport, and especially football, is a generation in which emotions are transmitted, and that is why Deportivo Eldense has filled us with happiness, enthusiasm and illusion, with a passion for a shirt and shield that will bear the name of our city from the coming season. throughout Spain. But not only that HE Promotion to the Second Division It has an economic derivative and a promotional effect of tremendous value for the entire city. We’ve been able to confirm this recently: Elda’s name and Deportivo’s success were all over the national media.
It took sixty years for Deportivo Eldense to return to the silver division of Spanish football. And they’ve accomplished that with an impeccable career: chaining up three consecutive promotions over many seasons to get a place in professional football, I don’t think many clubs in Spain have succeeded.
Last season was dazzling: Nuevo Pepico Amat turned into a stronghold that no opponent has managed to winA stronghold on which the Barça team has built its greatness and consolidated its single-leader status in a significant part of the competition. And the promotion qualifiers against two strong subsidiaries, Celta B and Real Madrid Castilla, demonstrated the solidity and quality of a squad that was an example of humility and courage.
Certainly, the last clash against the Madrid subsidiary had a scenario that contained the entire football saga: a reverse score, a comeback, a (questionable at least) penalty in extra time, and a penalty that looked like a goal (questionable, at least) in just half an hour. six minutes from the end for the story. The emotional roller coaster ended with immense happiness that filled the entire city and connected grandparents and grandchildren, who were just children in the sixties and are now a few years old and more white-haired, to see them again with tears in their eyes. how our beloved Deportivo returns to the Second Division of Spanish football.
And that’s exactly why I want to emphasize intangible value. old its ability to act as a link between the Eldense community in our city over its more than a century of history. Because seeing that the same feeling and love for certain colors continues to be passed down from generation to generation as if it were another part of our DNA, makes me feel proud and emotional. A blue and red chain that connects us to the past and lays the foundations for the great future that is to come.
Aúpa Deportivo!
