New frontiers and more excitement in Second

In our brand new section 'Answers' I raised a question a few days ago about the pros and cons of the new system of promotion to the First Division , and it is obvious that one of the advantages from a competitive point of view (and amateur) is the increase of emotion. The fact that there are only two teams that rise directly and four others are to contest a third place play-off is highly interesting from this perspective. There is more to look at than not, to climb the first three directly like this years ago, we could talk at this point that the Lightning, Celta and Betis have one foot in the top flight.

El Granada, who is fourth, is just nine points behind Betis, which once would mark the limit. That is, the last year, for example, would have a substantial distance of three games between the teams, one would rise and the other not. However, with the new format this area varies considerably. Loses the regularity whole, no doubt, for the third and the sixth (seventh, actually, because there is a branch in the top six, Barcelona B, which has no up options) would finish the Championship in the same conditions, a priori, with the same options to achieve promotion in the playoffs. But to win the show, seen as competitiveness and intensity.

This is the script, from here it should be noted, for example, that neither Ray nor Betis Celta nor have their place secured direct ascent. This weekend has been another change of leader: the Ray replaces Celtic at the top following his victory in Castellón at the branch of Villarreal and the defeat of Vigo in Alcorcón. But ... is that the Alcorcón, being fifteen points behind Celtic are three points of the promotion zone, which could be swallowed Celta lost the advantage it currently has about Betis, which is minimal, a point. That's emotion. And this, precisely, causes no team rejected the option of entering into this fight.

In sports, Betis seems to have regained its winning momentum, at least, in the Benito Villamarin. The recovery would also be if the journey that was played during the week he had not been docked at the Toralín, Ponferradina's home, bottom side of the category. Arbitration proceedings unfortunate that the whole of Heliopolis stole all three points, had to settle for one. Another set of Andalusia, Xerez, carries a bad streak. Five days ago, was fourth but after four consecutive defeats and a draw is now twelfth, although, of course, with the same points as the Alcorcón and three of the area to which they aspire.

In the lower zone, Recreativo de Huelva was finally able to catch your breath after a comprehensive victory against Girona, currently sixth, which won 4-0. Take a breath, then, the Recre but also his coach, Carlos Rios, whose position was becoming less safe. Curious what Recreativo, Huelva are suffering with a team in the preseason, particularly in the Colombino Trophy, played a top football (I witnessed). Are paying dearly for the lack of goals throughout the course. And the two teams Canaries, Tenerife and Las Palmas, for a second day match in the relegation zone. Tenerife has been there all the League but Las Palmas, but spent several days on the edge, stepped down field for the first time during the week.
