| Season Preview: |
High hopes for promotion push
The disappointment of relegation for CD Tenerife fans on the last day of
the season has faded. Well slightly. All the talk of 'If only Real Madrid
had won at Malaga, we would have held on at Valencia....'. It's gone and
this Saturday the campaign to get us back to La Liga starts.
And make no bones about it, Tenerife are ready.
History will judge whether it was the right thing to fire coach Jose Luis
Oltra. He had his faults but boy did he have a go. His five man attacking
line will long stay in the memory. He got the best out of Nino, Aragoneses,
Omar and in the end Ayoze. But he never got to grips with the defence and
that is not something that can be levelled at new manager Gonzalo Arconada.
Where he failed at Numancia he must suceed in Santa Cruz. It's a bold appointment,
there were stronger candidates. But the board needs backing since they got
it right with Oltra.
The new manager has been handed what looks like the strongest squad in a
decade. Well on paper anyway.
The aforementioned Ayoze has gone to Sporting Gijon, Manolo Martinez to
Recreativo and Culebras to Numancia. Angel pitches up at Elche, Richi moves
back to Real Murcia whilst Hector and Dinei have disappeared. So there has
been a raft of new blood and the signings look rock solid.
None more so than centreback Melli who has joined from Real Betis. This
is a real coup. The 26 year old has 21 spanish under 21 caps and his signing
on afree could be the best of the season. He made over 180 apperances for
Betis and was the club captain. But he has a major bust up with the directors
and was told he could leave. 24 hours later he as at the Heliodoro on a
three year contract. and he cannot wait to start his career:" I have
settled in very well. The players have been brilliant and I can feel the
passion of the fans. It's important to start well, and if we can then we
have a massive chance of going up." |

He will be partnered by David Prieto at the back. Prieto joins from Sevilla
who have excellent links with Tenerife. Following the two year success of
Alfaro in Santa Cruz another Sevilla player was always going to join and
the 6ft 1inch defender is here for the whole season. he has played the last
two seasons at Xerez and he was one of there best players in La Liga last
campaign. left back will be Gerard Beranger and his capture is another coup.
He was player of the season for Las Palmas last season, but Tenerife swooped
to sign him on a free to move him to the west of the Canary Islands! It's
not gone down well in Gran Canaria I can tell you. Like Melli and Prieto
he is the right age at 28. He likes to get forward and is pacy. Throw in
the captain Marc Betran at right back and you can see where the improvement
is.
In midfield Antonio Hidalgo is back after a five year hiatus.He played 91
games for Tenerife before spells at Malaga, Zaragoza, Osasuna and Albacete.
He has already looked sharp in pre season and bolster the midfield in place
of Roman Martinez. Ayoze departure means that Omar should have more game
time as will Iriome who is back after a year loan at Huesca. Dani Kome and
Juanlu have resigned and Natalio is the man to replace Alfaro. He comes
in from Almeria and takes a step down despite having offers from La Liga
clubs.
He has big boots to fill but he is a different sort of player and will offer
a physical hand to Nino. The partnership look to have started well.
Tenerife are still promising one more signing and that will surely be a
striker. Ideally someone with a bit of height! The big signing of the summer
has been the retention of Nino. The striker had offers from many clubs,
but none of them came close to Tenerife's valuation. Also Nino is very settled
here. He recently became a Dad and he was very happy to sign a massive new
four year contract. Rumoured to be worth 800,000e a year it makes him one
of the highest paid players in the league. Talking of resignings Tenerife
did well to hang on to new wonderkid Josmar Zambrano.
Fans have been waiting a few years for him to mature and this is the season
he gets a chance to shine. Last week Barcelona and Valancia offered him
a contract, but he has shown loyalty by inking a new four year deal. There
is a buy out clause of twelve million euros and he will start with the B
team in the third tier of Spanish football. But unlike Airam he has stayed.
The squad looks balanced, the fans have bought a record number of season
tickets so what can go round?
Well this is Tenerife. Things happen. Often!
It can be argued we are due a run of injuries, we are now a big team and
will be seen as a scalp. Our away form is still horrific. All are true.
But we have a very deep squad and this is not the strongest division. Over
the last few seasons a few provincial sides have gone up and there are now
two 'B' teams as well. Some traditionally strong sides have money worries
and the league is there for the taking. Tenerife should battle Real Betis
for the title with Elche, Xerez, Valladolid and Recerativo chasing hard.
Of the outsiders Albacete have strengthened well and Alcorcon, who beat
Real Madrid in the cup last season, may claim a few scalps.
Over in Gran Canaria, Las Palmas will do well to simply survive. They are
skint, almost Portsmouth style, and they barely have a working squad. Shame! |
