• Osasuna. Sadar or the old hell of Real Madrid: "It was worse to warm up than to play"

  • Liga.Caos for 'Filomena': Madrid's four hours in Barajas, Athletic's return and Rayo's bus in the snow

A

giant lamp the size of an area

, eight smaller ones to control different areas of the field, two small ones to act in more specific places and up to

40 workers working piecemeal so that the Osasuna-Real Madrid at 9 pm can be played

.

And all with '

Filomena

' falling on their heads.

In

El Sadar it

is being a Saturday fighting against the storm, a storm that has Spain and its football in absolute chaos, which prevented trips and suspended games, and has put the celebration of part of the rest of the day on the ropes garter belt.

"

The time of more snow of the whole day has been from five in the afternoon,

" they explain to El Mundo from the red fiefdom.

At that time, when more flakes fell on

Pamplona

, the

previous meeting between the clubs and LaLiga took place

.

"At no time has the game been endangered and at

no time has LaLiga proposed to advance the match schedule

, as is being said," they acknowledge from Osasuna.

"

Nothing invites you to think about the suspension,

" they close while looking at the weather.

It is expected that at

eight o'clock in the afternoon the intensity of the snowfall will decrease

and that the one that falls during the game does not cause any stoppage.

The

eleven warm-light lamps

that the club bought two seasons ago and had not yet needed to use in snowy situations

perch on the pitch

.

"We made a large outlay because with the remodeling of the stadium and the expansion of the roof we had fewer hours of daylight per day, but it

is the first time that they intervene in a snow situation,

" they explain.

In Navarra they are more used than in Madrid to seeing flakes fall, so 'Filomena' doesn't scare them too much either.

In recent years, Osasuna has suspended up to

four matches

due to conditions of this type, and has played as many after the operators had worked on the pitch.

It is not a new situation

.

"Last year there was a 6-inch snowfall," they joke.

Outside the stadium, three inches of snow

More than 50% of El Sadar is covered by lamps, which prevent the snow from curdling and keep the grass in a pristine green, and in the rest of the field the 40 workers called for the occasion, workers of the sports city and the stadium, all complying with integrity with the Covid protocol, lifting the scarce centimeter of snow that covers the ground and depositing it in a truck that takes it out of the venue in a few minutes.

On the sidewalks around fiefdom red, yes, the snow already exceeds

8 centimeters in altitude

.

The stadium awaits the arrival of the team

buses

.

Madrid, who are staying at the

Alma Muga de Beloso hotel

, will have to overcome a series of

slopes to get to a main road

that connects them with the field.

Circumstance in which Osasuna has already offered to help by providing, if necessary, smaller buses so that

Zidane's squad

can get to El Sadar without problems.
