Chronicle Rodrygo shakes the mousetrap of Cacereño and sends Madrid to the second round of the Cup
Direct This is how we live it
Copa del Rey Results of the round of 32
Although it would not seem like it on the pitch, especially due to the intensity of
Cacereño
during the game (until Rodrygo's great goal), the cup tie this Tuesday was characterized by the motto chosen for it: 'Football for peace' .
This had been the slogan selected last week by the expedition from Extremadura on its
visit to Nepal
in order to promote the
future Buddhist temple
that is to be built in the city.
So, taking advantage of the visit from the white club, it was repeated again.
All the events that took place outside the 'Prince Felipe' lawn, especially in the run-up to the clash, had to do with publicizing this project that includes
the largest Buddha statue in the world:
47 meters.
In the first place, the ambassador to Spain of the Asian country,
Sarmila Parajuli
, appointed a few days ago in her position, was the
guest of honor
and her visit was not limited to witnessing the game from the box but went down to the field of play and made delivery before starting the match of two '
mini Buddhas
' to Rubén de la Red and Michel Carrilero.
The former soccer players accompanied that expedition of 50 people who traveled with the Cacereño squad to the two games they played in Nepal.
The club, which sees a
source of financing in the project, took care of all the details to take advantage of the attention that the
historic match
caused
(it was the first time that both teams faced each other officially) and thus clean up the image of the club abroad. the
controversy surrounding the construction , above all - as
El Mundo
has published
- due to the origin of the white jade, the
building stones of the Buddha
, linked to exploitation in the hands of companies close to the Army that carried out the coup in
Myanmar
, ancient
burma
.
So, this Tuesday, in the eyes of the entire country, what better occasion to display a large banner on the pitch, with the logos of the two teams and that of the
Lumbini Garden Foundation
, labeled with the letters 'Football for peace' .
And it did not stop there.
The kick-off of the party corresponded to
Pilar Acosta
, representative from Cáceres of said foundation in Spain.
THE COMUNICATIONS
In parallel, it was ironic, although at the same time of dubious reputation for Extremadurans, that the news of Real Madrid's visit to Cáceres consisted of the white club being forced to travel by
bus on the same day of the match
against the lack of a
fast and secure
communication link
between the two cities.
By Extremadura railway, it is already known that it is better not to risk it too much because, in addition to being the eternal journey, a wagon can be left lying in the middle of nowhere or it can simply burn, as has happened in several trains that cover this route.
By air travel, which was the other possibility, the problem is that the
only airport is in Badajoz
, 120 kilometers from the capital of Cáceres, but it turns out that since December 13 the road that connects both cities, and which the white expedition should have taken later, remains closed due to the enormous
sinkhole
due to the effects left by the
Efraín storm
on his way through Extremadura.
So it is not surprising that the most ingenious memes these days have been related to this sad reality of communications in Extremadura, such as one that ironized that Florentino Pérez had built a runway next to the Príncipe Felipe stadium in record time, where played the game, for the arrival by plane of his squad.
And that
Carlo Ancelloti
muted with his usual lordship, by assuring in the preview he did not mind traveling by bus for three and a half hours and 296 kilometers because "
so he could see something of Spain
" since he did not know it as well as
Italy
, your country of origin.
On top of that, it is already a coincidence that there was a road incident during the trip of the white expedition.
It happened when one of the
support buses
(the one used to transport the communication team and props) broke down and
arrived late at the concentration hotel
where the white team stayed until the match began.
