There are a few things in my life that are not subject of discussion.
Everybody who knows me knows that I am an Espanyol supporter. It is one of the
things that no one disputes me. I always have felt proud of it and I have
always clearly shown it, even though we are not a team that wins tittles but we
have other features.
However, I have to say that I like a few teams around the world. Athletic
Club because my family is from Bilbao and my great grandfather was one of the
presidents, Liverpool because my mom’s family is from there and last but not
least, Eibar. And you will ask yourselves why I support Eibar. Here is the
story.
Some of my best friends support FC Barcelona, but we all started to follow
Eibar because we thought that it was worth while what they did. It was one of
the smallest clubs in the Second Division but they have managed to stay in said
category season after season becoming the team that more times have played in
the so called silver division.
It appealed our attention that many of their matches finished drawing or
winning by one goal. In Ipurua, their ground, it was very hard to win and even
though the way they played wasn’t brilliant, they were able to achieve their
aims.
Our interest for Eibar took us to go to Terrassa to watch a match between
the two teams. Obviously, the match finished with a no goals draw. For my group
of friends, Eibar is the team that put us together.
This weekend, for the first team in their history, Eibar has achieved their
promotion to the first category. It is great news for this small team that has
been able to fight with other clubs with more money and that have better
players.
I think this great news deserve a celebration and my friends and I will
have to start thinking in a trip to Ipurua to watch a match. Congratulations,
Eibar!
