Jose Ignacio Peleteiro (A Pobra do Caramiñal, 1991), better known as Jack, Celta Vigo squad, has starred in a real odyssey this weekend with an ending worthy of Ulysses himself. It all started when Jack was called with the first team to travel to Cartagena, where Paco Herrera played on Saturday to continue putting pressure on Deportivo La Coruna in their fight for first place in the Liga Adelante. As many of you know, the meeting was suspended for Rubinos Perez after one of their Linieres received the impact of a projectile (not yet identified) from the stands, with a provisional tie.

And once in the hotel where the blue team focused, the technicians decided that Jack, instead of staying with the first team to return the next day to the city olívica, were to begin a long and tiring journey to return to Galicia and be able participate in the meeting that the Celtic B had with the CD Tenerife. About 21:00 pm, accompanied by two officers, went by car from the city that Scipio Africanus snatched Hannibal to get to Madrid after two o'clock. In the state capital slept only three hours, until 5:45 pm, when he woke up to go and catch a plane Barajas (still above late left) heading to Santiago de Compostela, for there was no direct flight Vigo. Meanwhile, between a change of transport to another, was amusing himself by telling his odyssey through his twitter ( @ KingJota ).

In the Galician capital was waiting to pick up a car and finally made the last leg of his tour, travel by road to the Municipal Golf Barreiro, where the Celtic B plays at home. Arrived at 10:45 h, just one hour and fourth before the meeting. In the dressing room waiting for him his number, the Ten (what else?) Came as a starter. Opposite the CD Tenerife, third in the Segunda B Group I, a visit too complicated for the homegrown Vigo, marching next to last in the table. The game was vital to the Canaries, because with a win could have taken his second place to the CD Lugo, who lost heavily in the afternoon at home against leaders Real Madrid Castilla (1-5).

It started badly for the blue branch. Evil is not fatal. Four minutes lost their striker, Eric Wardem, expelled for allegedly elbowing an opponent. And just three minutes later, the Canaries were ahead on the scoreboard thanks to an unfortunate own goal by Victor Vazquez. 0-1, with ten and more than 80 minutes ahead. But the Celtic B did not give up or you lost the game face. Began to attack and nearly tie in a couple of occasions. The third did not fail. On 33 minutes Jack took a rebound of a shot Sergio Navas Aragoneses and put the equalizer on the scoreboard.

But there was not the incredible story of Jack Peleteiro. Only four minutes later distanced himself from the central Tenerife to receive a pass from Valley and advance his own with a useless jelly made out of Aragon. At 2-1 it was to rest and eleven minutes of the reaundación, Jack reappeared for the third time and even greater still. He collected the ball in his own field, starting at full speed towards the opponents' goal and leaving behind all that came out, until you reach the edge of the area, where he sought the profile of its privileged to nail the shot left-handed Pegadito the bottom and mark and the third goal for his team.

A thousand miles round over 1200 back in just half day. Get to the field with just over an hour for the start of the match, his team is left with ten and a goal is scored an own goal in just seven minutes. Only a true righter of wrongs could turn the story. Only a genius. Only someone who is truly anointed by the gods football. Peleteiro Jack King Jack, scored a hat-trick and made a legendary feat. They soon begin to talk about it and not just Balaídos. Ah! And I forgot a fact. Jack was not replaced. He played ninety minutes.
