The situation
A monster arrives at Di Stefano. A Córdoba that has just stumbled after chaining five victories and confirming itself as one of the main candidates for promotion. Castilla is drawn in the perfect context to demonstrate whether his good start is confirmation that this year there is oak wood, or if, on the contrary, the greatest in the category are still a step above . The whites entrust themselves to the punch of Iker Bravo, the diamond from La Fábrica and the great sensation of the moment. He shone in the Youth League match against Shakhtar ( goal and two assists ) and he wants more, much more. Because in Madrid it is not enough to knock on the door, you have to throw it away. Opposite will be another diamond: Sergio Benito . A player, youth squad of Rayo Vallecano, who at only 23 years old has already defended six shields . In addition to the Strip, he has passed through Barakaldo, Cultural, Badajoz, Valladolid and now, the Caliphate group. He has thick skin to withstand what they throw at him and a foggy peephole, so as not to waste opportunities in scenarios like these. He is nourished by the connection with De Las Cuevas (36 years old and eager to play football) and the arrival of Bouzaidi (far left and author, already, of three blows). Córdoba is an almost perfect machine (it scores 2.3 goals per game and only concedes one every two), but it comes from bleeding againstSanse, which he won in his fiefdom with a goal from Borja Martínez in 93′. Before, all victories, he was the leader.
‘alcorconazo’
The problem for Castilla is that its recent history also has a bitter chapter: the Madrid derby against Alcorcón ( 4-1 ) stopped on the highway . Raúl’s men chained three victories and looked to the playoff, until Santo Domingo sent them to the canvas with a kind of déjá vù. Now, opportunity to slam the door on that defeat and reaffirm himself against one of the biggest in the group. Arribas ‘ wand and Peter ‘s electricity will be key to recovering the best version of a team that, by winning, would enter the promotion zone .
