Valeron Long live!

A little more than a year coruñeses promoted a host of initiatives to ensure that UNESCO recognizes that the Hercules Tower deserves to be called Heritage. After this sunny but cool Sunday afternoon, sportsmanship should be required to be appointed Juan Carlos Valeron of cultural interest, Beloved Son and to the Crown. Today, the output of the match in which Deportivo La Coruna won 2-1 to RCD Mallorca, on the outskirts of Riazor stadium seareiros thousands raised their voices with the same proclamation: Valeron Long live!

After the fiasco of the last day, when Depor lost in the last minute against Levante, the Blues held a Riazor had three hours before the game to accompany the bus tour of his team's hotel to the stadium to show their unconditional support and thus, require you were at the same height. However, the first part of the team Bluegill was far from expected. He made ​​a shot on goal while the vermilion only did they need to create an opportunity for Webó head frame to center of Martí. Arrived at the break, only the speaker volume unbearable stadium could cover the unrest in the parish.

The fourth time was the time to break Miguel Angel Lotina. In his hands was to do something to prevent his ship from sinking after the gap opened in the town by both visitors. For the first time this season, Depor had only occupied the bench that nursing, including highlighting Adrian and Riki for Xisco alternates and Lassad. But the Chosen (because you have to put in capital letters) was a lanky type, knees crushed and two months to meet the thirty-six, known as El Flaco and name Don Juan Carlos Valeron.

With this way of running, jogging or rather, as dragging their feet, lungs that are shrinking to the ten-meter race and the cold mental muscle and that one must have when it has only played one game as a starter in all championship and only eleven as a substitute, The Wizard of Arguineguín tackle threw the ball (as beiras fíxolle, we would say in Galicia) and the ball fall for him again. Valeron appeared everywhere and all his colleagues paid him homage because they know that, even when the lame, has more quality than all of them together. Valeron played but, above all, he played to his colleagues. He became a band by himself the most unfortunate in a group of fellow conspirators, to trace the party.

After taking a ball at three quarters, to Valerón left over five tenths of a second to open a door to the Spaniard Xisco took the opportunity to take him back to defense vermilion and cross the ball to the exit of Aouate, tying the game ten minutes after the restart. (I personally was a great moment, because I spent the first half, holding an old one of those who only go to football to complain about everything and very heavy, we repeated no less than a dozen times "how could it be that a guy who had only played two games in one and a half in England Depor striker could be, "referring to Xisco, with which, when he scored, I jumped at the chance to ride like a good chicken agony ...)

Twelve minutes after the equalizer, Valeron pass again put poison into the visiting area and, after the forced rejection of the rear, Lassad scored the comeback with a cross shot. The Tunisian is putting more willpower than anyone in recent games but is one of those players who seem to play with earplugs, unable to run and lift her head at the same time, making it many times in a mad goat who loves the roads get more difficult. Valeron Deportivo took to the grave had been dug in the first half and the final comeback Herculine prevents the club get into the well and, with the three points, it gets five points clear on the decline.

Still, do not take bells ringing. To be sure that good sportsmanship will not, modest and sensible fans like few others. The team was able to react and was able to acknowledge the support of most fans with the releaseto the stands of a number of sweaty shirts. Now, once the pulse return to normal, again the time of Lotina. How can it be that Paul Alvarez holds? How many good games have done in four years in the sport? And just as it has ended up having to be charged to Antonio Tomás, his preferred defensive midfielder, it's time to leave the bench to Juan Rodriguez, not because they are not going to be on the team next season, but because today is and a shadow of its former self. And above all, it may not be Valerón for ninety minutes, but leaving just eight league games, El Flaco should play until they faint by unanimous acclaim.
