There are stories that seem to repeat, And the Paco Jemez Rayo Vallecano again reinvent itself once again. Year after year the buccaneers see their equipment is dismantled. Rubén, Gálvez, Arbilla, Adrian Gonzalez, Larrivey, Jonathan Vieira, Saul Ñiguez, there are many who have left the team, and some of them more than basic pieces. However, the coach always knows which button to touch and as they say colloquially; King dead, king as.
Given the large number of casualties they were known in advance, the coaching staff and the management of rayistas got down to work. the diver donned fatigues and proposed to work hard all summer to re-create a project that hopes up to the fans for the penultimate time. Said and done, a few days to begin the domestic competition Rayo Vallecano retold with a set of quality players to fight to the end like every year. Casualties have been important, but the new additions have nothing to envy them. Kakuta, Ba, Jonathan Pereira, Christian Alvarez, Pozuelo, Manucho,..a long list of players with experience and proven quality.
• High: Amaya (Betis), Quini (Castile), Manucho (Valladolid), Boateng (Fulham), Morcillo (Recreational), Iozabed (Jaen), Diego Aguirre (Toledo), Alex Moreno (Mallorca), Pozuelo (Swansea), Mojica (D. Cali), Kakuta (Chelsea), Licá (Port), Abdoulaye Ba (Port), Aquino (Villarreal), Jonathan Pereira (Villarreal), Cristian Alvarez (San Lorenzo de Almagro) and Leo Baptistão (Atlético).
• Low: Rubén (Almeria), Larrivey (Celta), Jose Carlos (Deportivo), Jonathan Viera(Valencia), Mojica (Valladolid), Seba Fernández (National), Nery Castillo (-), Adrian (Elche), Rochina (Blackburn), Cave (-), Falque (Tottenham), Borja Lopez (Monaco), Longo (Inter), Rat (PAOK), Gálvez (Werder Bremen), Perea (Lobster), Arbilla (Espanyol), Saul (Atlético), Boateng (Éibar) and Galeano (Independent).
This will be the third consecutive season Paco Jemez in the rayista bench. The story is repeated every summer and mission seems more complicated. Players who come from every corner of the planet must form a strong bloc quickly under the tutelage of Jémez. A brave coach, sure their football and with a clear idea in your head. In memory of all this the painful first round of last season, but it should be noted that if the first was awful the second was fantastic. It seems that Paco knows what is done and if the directive places its trust in the technical and have patience, the results will soon arrive.
Rayo Vallecano history seems doomed to repeat itself every summer. An assembly of discards from other teams, Stand and Deliver young and the old guard house, after hours, Tito, Nacho, Lass, Cobeño… Safely next summer will re-live a similar situation in Vallecas, but the problem there will be time to solve it, League begins now Paco has much work ahead.
