The CD Heel , or the future female Real Madrid, as they prefer, began to furnish their new house there by September 14. That day, in the 11th field of Valdebebas, David Aznar's team played the first game against his audience. He won, in his only victory until last Saturday, when he defeated Real Sociedad (3-1), before about 300 fans, all of them either partners of Real Madrid or girls from the quarry.

Because the club, as in the Real Madrid Castilla matches in Segunda B, does not sell tickets to the general public . And it is not the only controversial measure in these first months of alliance between Tacon and Real Madrid. Neither coach, David Aznar, nor footballers attend the media.

"We are not going to hold the press conference," the club's communication department explained to a dozen journalists who covered that first meeting against Sporting de Huelva. That day, by the way, the visiting coach, Antonio Toledo , did appear before the media, something common in the Andalusian team. «It's all new; we are working from scratch and for the moment the press conferences are not going to be held, nor are we going to take the players out to speak, ”a member of the press team was justified on the first day.

Nine dates have already been played and David Aznar still does not speak in front of the microphones, becoming the only coach in the League who does not attend the media. Other clubs, such as Madrid CFF, although they do not hold press conferences, do make their coaches and players available to journalists.

From the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), the body responsible since this season of the Iberdrola League, confirm the "autonomy" available to clubs to develop their communication plans, although they remember the benefits of "appearing in the press to make yourself known to the world ».

Contrast with the opening of the Iberdrola League

«We are supporters of openness. What does not appear in the media goes unnoticed and we understand that for women's football it is very positive to put all possible facilities for journalists to make soccer players, coaches known ... », sources from the RFEF comment to this newspaper. However, they affect the "independence" that clubs have in this area.

Likewise, the communication department of the Spanish women's soccer team is one of the most relevant examples of this "openness" with respect to the media. During the last World Cup in France, up to nine players of the squad attended this newspaper to publicize their personal stories: Sandra Paños, Amanda Sampedro, Irene Paredes, Silvia Meseguer, Patri Guijarro, Andrea Falcón, Celia Jiménez, Jennifer Hermoso and Vicky Losada, in addition to the coach, Jorge Vilda. The Federation has opted in recent months for this feedback between soccer players and fans. That law of silence is not the only measure that has turned the future female Real Madrid, the second to last in the classification with eight points (this Sunday, 1:00 p.m., Granadilla Tenerife is measured at the La Palmera Stadium), in an impregnable bunker.

Getting tickets for matches in Valdebebas is an odyssey. Only members of the white club and the quarry players, with the option of getting another ticket for a companion, can go to the 11th Valdebebas field every 15 days . The fans on foot learned in the same ticket offices that they would not have access to the stadium.

In the social networks of the team appear publications intermittently, with just a few videos about the workouts of the week and, from time to time, the results of the quarry teams. It is precisely on Twitter where Real Madrid fans have shown their complaints about these measures carried out by the future women's Real Madrid, the most unknown team of the Iberdrola League .
