Despair moved to La Romareda

We are at the end of February and the league begins to leave some things quite clear. Above, the mattress that keeps Real Madrid with Barcelona it nice to dream, knowing that the championship can not escape. If the distance of ten points between the two giants of football seems insurmountable, the eleven that separate the Real Zaragoza of salvation, seeing the plight of the hands, pointing to a decline in avoidable only by a miracle.

In Romareda despair is installed. Few are those who believe that salvation is possible. Too many 'match balls', too late for a group accustomed to losing. Neither the arrival of Manolo Jimenez has floated a boat adrift from early season, which ended to drown an unlikely and fleeting frightened the president, Agapito Iglesias, to finish infuriate a hobby to which he has no choice but to think next season.

Last week Zaragoza managed to re-enlist the championship win at Espanyol in Cornella. Hostile terrain where not many know sets out the three points. With that triumph came the faith. To avoid the precipice had to win nine games at home and rate that remained at home in the odd displacement. The fact of winning at home for a set that takes the red lantern becomes imperative, otherwise, lurks the specter of decline.

And in the Rose Garden was planted Real Betis, a team for blanquillos happened in ninety minutes of being a direct rival to have it to fourteen points. In fact, the Andalusians, are just three of the positions of Europa League. Despite the good intentions of the wards of Jimenez, the first goal from Ruben Castro dropped them. The nerves, the rush and the score played a dirty trick to Zaragoza, who conceded the second as fans enfilaban the way home.

Zaragocista Coach appeals to the "professional embarrassment" to train from Tuesday, when the reality of the classification reflects the status of your computer: Finally, with 15 of 69 possible points, 11 of permanence and foot and a half in the second division. Perhaps now, all seems lost, when there is little to gain and much to lose, it's time to play without pressure, thinking ahead and take advantage, as far as possible, giving occasional joy to a more swollen disillusioned than ever.
