Deportivo bleeds

How little does the joy in the house of the poor ... The Deportivo managed to return to first after a single season in second, also succeeding as the best team in the history of the Silver Division (91 points). But just nine months after his health has deteriorated so much that there are some who will diagnose certain death. Everything goes wrong in Corunna, where all that remains at the level of the history of the club is the fans.

The monetary excesses of Augusto Cesar Lendoiro Deportivo led to an inevitable bankruptcy. In such an economic situation, the oldest president of Spain decided to put the club in the hands of Jorge Mendes. Choking on a debt that can not be solved (Riazor stadium is municipally owned thus would not even give a urban pitch), Lendoiro played all the cards to the good work of course well-known representative of footballers. The result was the creation of a template provided lackluster full of players who, with one exception, the club's future do not care.

The defense is an absolute disaster, a real loophole with any team wins the lottery. The last to enjoy a feast was the Granada FC, who paced Riazor to get his best result since coming home to First. The midfield is unable to create the least amount of play while it is powerless to stop attacks from rival. And the front does not even exist: Riki is a exfutbolista that no gasoline or for half an hour and Nelson Oliveira is a nobody, much ado about nothing.

If we enter the customization we can end the derogatory adjectives. Manuel Pablo is extremely limited not only physically, but also seems to have forgotten how to defend or focus. Aythami, Marchena and Ze Castro jeopardized in a dark room of a local sado by the ease with which they can take back. But the fan favorite is Evaldo. All calamities are summarized in a question asked more than 25,000 members: how is it possible that this guy has made ​​a career in professional football? Now not only get to the first division, is that it is incredible that past youth ...

Only saves from Alex Bergantiños burning. They note that the only coruñés of all staff is doing life in Depor. It kills run ninety minutes, captain makes over the veteran pair of canaries, deals with the referees, corrects his companions, required more effort, you fight with all rivals, with whom he played him and which he would play his teammates ... He tailed in every game until the last drop of sweat watching his team will rapidly bleeding.

I venture to save another player: Pizzi. While his contribution in the defensive is negligible, at least is the only man in attack that really seems confident that you can get to score a goal now and then. An honorable exception among the players who are in provided, as Atletico have already paid their signing to join your discipline from next summer.

Another nonsensical Lendoiro is the subject of the coach. José Luis Oltra wrongly believing that he could keep the team in first with the same style that was champion of Second. Although it had the support of the staff (at least the hard core led by captains), the president ousted in absolute improvisation (he did very beginning of the Christmas break, but just five days of the first Party, 2013). The substitute, of course, a Portuguese coach, who even though he tried to distance himself from the suspicion, no one would have no doubt that it came from the hand (if not imposed) by the de facto sporting director, Jorge Mendes.

Domingos Paciência opened with a win and a draw in Riazor home. After that, the debacle: four straight losses. The latest: a bloody 0-3 against a direct rival for the permanence and the Granada in a most auspicious day to start tracing (tie between Osasuna and Mallorca, Celta defeat). The patience of a hobby that stands precisely for that quality, came to an end. The match ended with cries of Lendoiro resignation Less coruñeses Portuguese and a loud blast and the players. Permit me an aside: we should mention the half dozen players who headed Bergantiños and Valerón not escaped to the locker room just to hear the final whistle, but presented in the center circle to receive the whistles and jeers of the angry seareiros.

After the game, another chapter of absurdity. Paciência presented at a press conference with an incomprehensible cockiness, announcing he put his resignation to the President. Following six games, six games!, Would efface the first hurdle. A few hours later, Lendoiro announced to the media that he had a meeting with the captains and the coach in the first to the second asked him to stay. The response of the fans at such news was unanimous: Who has tied this guy for players to have to ask you to stay?

Paciência has proved the most mediocre coach who has not hesitated to fade as things have been really ugly. If the custom Lendoiro is not paying anyone (at least not a day normally), this time it would be more than justified that Depor extécnico and not see a penny, not even to pay the hotel. His replacement has already been announced: Fernando Vazquez.

Depor's future can not be black. Colista of First, five points from safety, with a staff decompensated little compromised and that seems to have the energy to tackle a feat as required by the computer. Well, more than a feat, what you need is a miracle Depor.

The more than likely will fall to second even harder economic recovery club. In the event that the decline is consummated, will be whether the Depor not suffer another decline at not being able to channel administrative debt, now exceeding 90 million without having reached the merits of the case by the opacity with which Lendoiro been driving forever.

Yes, Lendoiro is the same as Deportivo managed to place among the largest in Europe. This is the same president who assembled a team that won a league, two Cups and three Super Cups. But the glorious past has no weight in the gloomy future. Nobody will deny what he did for Depor in past decades, but clearly it is also the head of an economic situation that seriously threatens the future of the club. And it may be that the culprit is the exorbitant debt lead the attempt to solve the problem. Lost social support and if he decides to leave on his own, all the hope deportivistas judicial manager managing the club's future would not shake his hand when remove him from command.

Lendoiro is already the past. The future is black. Depor is only sportsmanship. And the hope that in the dark days ahead, the team assigned release the ballast and / or Portuguese and given way to the quarry that kids like Alex Bergantiños, refuse to resign however badly the paint things.
