This coming Sunday, June 21st, UD Tamaraceite will play the second leg against Guijuelo with the objective of ascending to 2ª RFEF. After a narrow 2-1 defeat in the first leg in Salamanca, the Gran Canarian team will seek to turn the score around to return to the third tier of Spanish football after four seasons in 3ª RFEF.
The coach of Tamaraceite, Iván Martín, expresses hope and confidence in his team's ability to achieve promotion. "Physically, we have arrived at the promotion playoff in very good shape," he assures, emphasizing that the team's enthusiasm helps them overcome the accumulated fatigue after 230 training sessions and matches. The technical staff has worked to ensure the squad arrives in "peak form" for this decisive encounter.
The days leading up to the match are experienced with "anxiety" in the locker room, although Martín asks his players for "naturalness" and to "enjoy every moment." Regarding the first leg, the coach describes it as "very even," noting that "there were very few chances for both teams" and that Guijuelo's goals were "more our errors than their successes." Despite having the Copa José Antonio Ruiz Caballero Final on Thursday against Las Palmas C, the focus is exclusively on promotion: "We have all eyes on Sunday and Guijuelo."
“"It would be historic for Tamaraceite and something beautiful for the archipelago to achieve promotion; we would have four Canarian teams in 2ª RFEF."
Iván Martín believes that achieving promotion would be "a very important step" in his career and a "historic event" for the club. Furthermore, he highlights the value it would have for the archipelago to have four Canarian teams in the 2ª RFEF. The coach makes a call to the fans to support the team, emphasizing the importance of the crowd's "support" for player performance, especially in moments of "fatigue."
