CD Tenerife will be playing Ibarra on the 2nd of August

The club is very calm about the suposed match rigging. Not only is it unlikely to come to anything because the team had lost so many matches before but previous experience shows this is very difficult to prove.

The LFP has denounced CD Tenerife and Sporting de Gijon for possible match rigging in the last game o the season this year. (perhaps somone could tell them we had already lost 6 in a row and there was now no chance of doing anything)

CD Tenerife 4 - Espanol 1

This was a game to remember, maybe even a turning point for the season. Trainer Jose Luis Oltra commented after the game, that it was not even that they played that well there have been better games but that things went our way.

INCIDENTS
Twenty sixth round of the First division of the BBVA League. Disputed in the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Registered assistance was 18.680 spectators. The players of CD Tenerife had black armbands in memory of the recently departed señor Pablo Alberto Hernández Matos, Season Ticket holder No 1 from the blue and white club. One minutes silence was held for this motive.

loss and other things

Well I have to say we lost against Español on Sunday. I was at a baptism and didn't get to watch the game but at least we managed the first away goal and Alfaro managed to score so perhaps we are movong in the right direction
Sundays game is against Xerez. If last years seasons home game is anything to go by this should be a battle of wills. Tickets for the match will go on sale on Thursday.

Quotes from the trainer after last weekends game include "Our rival was more effective than us. We knew that Español was a class team. We need to be more careful with counter attacks. There is nothing else to de but carry on. Everytime you score and don't win the result seems bad. On the positive side we scored away. there are things about our game which need polising. We are being punished for our errors." and finally " we need to gain points away."

Pablo Sicilia said yesterday in an interview that the priority needs to be the direct rival ie Xerez. That doesn't make it different from any other game. We know we need to be strong at home. He also commented how comfortable he felt in the left side. "As well as being a defensive position I could also go forward to give the game everything"

The club has again asked the federation for equality for the times of the games. Every other team gets to play at 5pm but here in the Canaries where it is hottest thsy have to play at 4pm. I am afraid it is not until a player has sunstroke or worse that anything will be changed.
