On Wednesday afternoon, Fernando Vázquez went down to the beach to walk with his dog. He needed to put the ideas in order after a few frantic days, between disappointment and anger. "I would have to be a magician of the motivation to get my players in tune," he said, tormented, saddened by the events that have shaken the end of the Second Division and without being very clear, he as coach, what steps they follow. In theory, you should prepare an undated match against a rival who is currently confined in a hotel in La Coruña because of the coronavirus .

No one knows when the Fuenlabrada will have health to be able to compete. In fact, their situation is complicated, with four new positive cases known this Thursday after the series of tests that the Xunta is carrying out on the expedition. In total there are already 14 infected in the club.

That match seems impossible right now. In fact, for Professor Vázquez the hardest thing is that his team, Deportivo, would go to the field with no other mission than to mourn his pain for the descent to the Second B , ugly well for a champion league shield and not so long ago elbowed with the greats of the Champions.

From the living room, when his game was suspended on Monday by the contagions of Fuenlabrada, the Coruña club saw how the results of their rivals left him with no options. Some of his players have already said goodbye, giving up their assignments, and the rest are on semi-vacations. "Active rest", clarifies the president of the Galician entity, Fernando Vidal.

His coach sat down at a press conference on Thursday to denounce what he considers an outrage. "Why is the day not postponed and it is expected that Fuenlabrada can compete? A lesser evil became a greater evil. They wanted it to be a lesser evil, parking only our party, but the evil was far superior. The competition is adulterated, ”he says, as his team has been left without the possibility of playing at the same time as the others.

The Galician coach arrived at Christmas in a locker room with a foot and a half in Second B. The comeback was twisted at the end, although the directive has repeated that the coach of the coming season, in whatever category, will be the Coruñés who has best connected with Riazor from Arsenio Iglesias . "And what sports planning can be done in these circumstances?" Asks Vázquez without finding a solution.

Chaos in Second

The first thing is that pending game on which the promotion playoffs depend, where Fuenlabrada would arrive with a single point. The Madrid club doubts the physical state in which it is going to appear and and its adversary, the mental one. «It seems to me an impossible thing to play this game, it would be an act of comedy. How do you convince an aggrieved, betrayed, discriminated against by the employer team? », Continues the Deportivo coach, who is betting on the way of a League of 24 clubs to solve the mess. An exit that in the Superior Sports Council is no longer ruled out, especially if the ordinary courts end up agreeing with the Blue and Whites .

The Federation, through its Competition committee, could clarify the landscape for the League if it considers the match to be lost to Fuenlabrada, considering it guilty for traveling with infected people to La Coruña. In this way, the promotion playoffs could be played, with Elche instead of the quarantined team. The role would be for Deportivo, who would receive the three points without being able to do anything with them, having won their rivals on Monday. Second B, if a judge does not say otherwise, it would be his black fate.

And outside the grass, the noise of offices continues. The Fuenlabrada trip has been reported to the Prosecutor's Office from the City Council , and it was recalled yesterday that the laboratories are responsible for communicating the infections to the authorities.
