Draw against Oviedo leaves CD Tenerife top

Sundays result could have been better but still the team is group leader and one point ahead of rival Aviles.
Coach Cervera said it was the best second half we have played this season and to some degree I have to say I think he was right. There were moments where they fought really hard. And Oviedos goal was a series of errors. 2B is a very hard race and we need to hang in there.
Latest news on the games over Xmas implies that we will play Alcala on the Friday night and Salamanca on the Sunday Morning. I am not very sure how the stadiums will be cleared but if they play at 12 on Kings day I am not sure how many fans will attend.

Three points in the last minute

In a game where the CDT doctor was sent off the field for walking to slowly everything happened. The team started out slowly against Toledo who they drew against in the away match. The first shot at goal came in the 30th minute from Perona who has never scored a goal on his birthday.

Toledo never looked likely to score and the only counter attack Tarantino stopped although it cost him a yellow card and a sending off. At this point with two local players Kiko Raton and Ruben Rosquete having been brought in the team made that extra push. And the goal when it finally came was glorious.

The second game this season Pablo Sicilia Roig has saved.  We are still third and now with 6 points between us and the fifth placed team

GOAL 1-0: (94’) Sicilia, with a cross ball.

INCIDENTS
Played in the Heliodoro Rodríguez López. With the grounds in good condition on a warm sunny morning with 8.595 spectators some 20 of which were from Toledo.

I am not sure why it is every time the game looks easy we struggle and when it is hard the team steps up their game. La Roda came to Tenerife with clear ideas, to defend and try for a point and they managed this very well. CD Tenerife had 15 corners and not a single ball went in but there will always be games like this.Looking forward during the playoffs every team will be looking to win so this sort of play shouldn't happen.

The fans were outstanding and yet again showed up in force to watch and support the team. Almost 11,400 were there to cheer yet again and push the team on.

A point was better than nothing although we are again third after Albacete managed a win in the afternoon and Castilla won at home which moved the gap back to 6 points. That said Lugo drew and Oviedo took a pasting in Gran Canaria.

Its Tuesday but we are still winning at home

Whether the team played badly or not three points are all that really count. How many games in La Liga did we play well and lose. Leganes will surely not stay at the bottom of the table. They looked good and fought hard although they might just need help in defence as Perona's goal was due to a horrible mistake there.

A point away

A point away is not to be knocked. Especiall if the team is La Roda and is the sensation in 2B. The team came up last year and are doing very well so far. Calderon's players came out and tried hard. Sometimes things don't seem to go their way and the first half was hard going. After the break they looked much better and should have scored. But things don't always go our way and we should be content with an away point and look forward to the next game against Rayo Vallecano B.

Can't have Monday blues if we are second.

It seems wrong to have the blues if the team are second. We were lucky yesterday, the team didn't do well but neither did any of the other teams at the top so we are still second.

INCIDENTS: The match was played in the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium. The grass was in good condition and it was a warm morning, with approx 1500 spectators of which 150 were blue and white CD Tenerife fans. The club president Miguel Concepción, was in the stand.

Comments from the players included: Zazo: “The referee wasn't much help with several decisions. The 2-0 came very quickly and was a hard thing to bear. After the break we came out with the plan to change the dynamics.. When you come in off the bench you hope you can help the team".




 Marcos: “We had a good plan which up to the 1-0 was going well but that goal changed everything. You can still learn from experiences like this. I am not convinced this was a yellow card. We went out to try but sometimes things don't work. We need to shoot more at the goal". Tarantino: “This was a painful loss because we had high hopes for the game. It was complicated and we fought hard. Once you are at a disadvantage it is always complicated to come back and more so if we are talking about an opponent like Castilla".
 Kitoko: “We feel bad with the loss. After the pause we came back out ready to fight. We tried until the end and we looked to change the game. The penalty was important and it wasn't an intentional action. We were unlucky”.
 Jonay: “After the penalty we went all out for the game, leaving spaces and they made the most of this. After the 3-0, we reacted well but we should have done this before. The team is still doing well, we know there are things to do and we need to work hard. These losses need to be looked at and mistakes corrected. We hope to do better against La Roda".

 The team returned home on Sunday evening and train today and rest Tuesday.

The coach Calderon in his press conference stated, "we were playing well up to the first goal. The penalty was a tough call and in the last week there has been talk about how badly Madrid have been treated by the referees. Castilla were enthused by the goal and went from strength to strength".

Let me tell you why I like Monday

This could become adictive. I like the Monday morning we won feeling especially after a 3-0 win. The game yesterday could be divided into 2 parts. At no time did Montaneros look like they were going to score. They are a little team and yesterday it showed that we certainly are not a little team. The team came out of the field in the first half with a need to win that showed from Sergio all the way forward to Kiko Raton.

 INCIDENTS Played in the Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez stadium. The grass was in a reasonable state, although it could have been better. It was a hot sticky morning, with 9.241 spectators.

 The game was much better than previous games, although it still leaves something to be desired as far as some of the fans are concerned. Again in the second half there was some whistling as the fans were not too happy with how the blue and whites were playing. Antonio Calderón had promised after the loss against Getafe B that the team would get better. One of the differences was that Kitoko played in midfield, making a new design with three other midfielders. (Perona on the right, Víctor Bravo in the middle and Ferrán Tacón on the left) with Richi behind them. Meanwhile Montañeros decided on a 4-4-1-1 play style with Rivera as single midfielder and a strong defense. This didn't help them when in minute 6 Cristobal played the ball into the goal area and Ferrán Tacón started the scoring with a kick into the goal. This goal allowed the blue and whites to be calm and hold possession whilst they played tha ball. They had various chances and the 2-0 arrived with a shot by Kitoko. The player retrieved the ball in mid-field and took it all the way up the pitch with no oposition up to the edge of the area where he shot at goal and the ball hit one of the defenders and shot into the gaol. From there the CD Tenerife team took more control of the game. Aragoneses, who in the first half nearly didn't see the ball saw a shot at goal by Rivera (66’). And for some time Tenerife had trouble to keep the ball in their care. Montaneros continually tried to fight back and take possession. After an hour the fans were a little stressed and Calderon reacted bringing on Nico & Rosquete, though the game didn't improve. The driving force in the team seemed to be Ferran Tacon. In spite of everything the game was very much under CD Tenerife control and continued quietly on. In the final minutes Kiko Raton managed to score the definitive 3-0 with a header from a corner.

3-0 win against Vecindario

This was the game every fan wants to start the season. A 3-0 clear win, with goals from three different players. After the trials of last year this was a fresh start. The sun shone, the team had managed to organise an afternoon game and as the players came out onto the field there was a feeling that something special was going to happen.
In the first half Vecindario defended well, not letting Tenerife reach the goal. But after the break the black and green team seemed to relax and two goals in six minutes were the result. Victor Bravo was the first goal scorer with a pass from Perona. The ex Oviedo player then shot the second goal giving the team a bread advantage. The third goal came 30 minutes later with a pass by Ferran Tacon to Nico who has not long been substituted onto the field.. The players celebrated each goal together and seemed content as a group. Vecindario played well but they weren't at CD Tenerife's level.
Coach Calderon stated after the game that “although the game was hard the players controlled the ball”, he rated the game as good but more than that he commented he was pleased how the squad were with each other.
The players interviewed after the game were Victor Bravo and Abel. Victor was please the crown had enjoyed the game and hoped that he “scored more goals”. Abel who played fro the fist time in the Heliodoro said “This was a good result for a game that is like a derby”.
The team is training today Monday, and is off tomorrow. CD Tenerife are third in the table with La Roda and Lugo ahead of them on goal difference.

The local goals were scored by Pablo Sicilia & Antonio Hidalgo, with a penalty. The goal scored by Xerez was two minutes after the second CD Tenerife goal which added emotion to the second half. Xerez animated by this goal put their hearts into the second half but in vain. The three points sstayed at home. Now the team are a little safer.

New Years Draw in Valladolid - Game notes.

A draw that tastes like a victory, Tenerife gained a point in Pucela. Mandía's lads managed to fight back to a draw twice against Real Valladolid. Nino managed the 1-1 and Iriome the 2-2. This second goal came right in the final minutes of the game.
With an electric start Valladolid scored the first time they reached the goal area (minute 8) Oscar managed to get the ball and score but their happiness didn't last long. In the tenth minute Nino put the ball in the net after a header by Prieto bounced off the post.
Just before 30 minutes played Julio Álvarez passed to Nino, who then put Justo Villar's reflexes to the test. But the Paraguay national keeper saved the ball. Minutes later Nauzet transformed a free kick just outside the goal area into 2-1.
This goal came from a foul by Prieto who then asked to be changed. The man from Andalusia felt dizzy after the blow in the head he received minutes before.
With the 2-1 on the score board, Valladolid stepped back and let CD Tenerife play. The blanquiazules had difficulty getting to the rival goal area. Minutes passed and the players started to unravel. A header from Melli ended up in the side of the net was the best play for the visitors And Jofre had a good chance to score the 3-1.
The second half started with a change in the CD Tenerife side. Iriome came on for Beranger, Juanlu moved over to the right side and Pablo the left side. The island players grew as the minutes passed. With Natalio on the wing and Julio Alvarez closer to Nino, chances were sure to come.
But when the visitors were at their best Valladolid made some dangerous plays. First Melli and then Sergio Aragoneses saved two certain goals. The game moved up and down the field. Then Óscar had a great chance to sentence the game.
As the game drew to a close it seemed that CD Tenerife struggled for air. Kome came on for Ricardo, which meant that Julio Álvarez passed to mid field and Natalio went back in the front which seemed to leave the Tenerifians with no ideas.
When everything seemed to indicate that a loss was on the cards, Iriome caught the ball in the air for a splendid header which finished in the back of the net. And that is how the game finished.

Game notes and player interviews.

CD Tenerife against the leader. Real Betis scored three goals before the break to sentence the game. It was not a good game for the blue and whites who go on xmas holidays still in relegation positions and with out the chance to give the fans a boost.
CD Tenerife wanted to close the year with a victory, that would show quality, security and conviction... and the team came out well, prepared for their rivals strategy and looked for a goal. Unfortunately a bucket of cold water stopped the island lads: Emaná gscored with his left from the centre of the area. A ball which Sergio couldn't stop.
It could have been a draw with a counter attack by Natalio with a high ball. But the players from Andalicia, mostly Rubén Castro, scored again with a fantastic shot, from 40 metres. Betis made h most of their chances, left the local players with doubts and managed to finish the game before the pause when through a defense error Emaná scored.
The second half started with complications for the CDT team and they needed to make an extra effort to meke up the score. But the ball didn't seem to want to help them. Nino shot at goal and Goitia saved. Then Mikel Alonso had a chance from a corner but the ball went over the net.
The changes left fresher players on the team for Tenerife, perhaps too because the result gave Pepe Mel's players space, the blue and white players seemed to have more chances. But minutes passed and the reaction didn't come. In the last minutes CDT tried for a last honour goal whilst Betis had a couple of chances and counter attacks.

First win away in Villa real

The team managed a convincing victory in Villa Real against Villarreal B with goals by Nino and Natalio.










CD Tenerife showed their real form this Sunday against Villarreal B in the Mini Estadi (0-2), with goals from Nino & Natalio. The first victory away form home this season. The lads in blue and white have now seen three games without a loss and without receiving a goal. No one has scored against Aragoneses since the Tenerifians visited Cordoba, in October. With these three points, CD Tenerife finally stopped being last and moved up the table to the edge of leaving the relegation positions.
CD Tenerife started strongly and in the second minute, David Prieto shot at goal with a header. The same movement came from the opposition minutes later with a chance from Falqué which went out without much danger. In the following minutes, the opposing team had control of the ball but all the chances were for CD Tenerife. First Natalio shot from a distance and later Mikel Alonso kicked a ball high over the goal inside the area.
The game continued as the ball moved from one end to the other creating danger in both goals The best chance for Villarreal B was by Falqué with a shot inside the area which Marc Bertrán managed to block.
In the following moments control wasn't so clear and CDT managed distant shots by Mikel y Nino, that weren't very dangerous for keeper Mariño. But in minute 44 Nino took advantage of a bad kick by a Villarreal B defender and took the ball into the area and shot into the net.
The second half started in the same style and in minute 49 Marc centred from the right, Nino too control of the ball inside the area, shot and hit the post. After this Villarreal too possession but CDT had several counter attacks and one of these led to two chances one by Nino and one by Natalio but Mariño managed to repel both.
Villarreal B continued to dominate although their attacks were centred from the wings or distant shots at goal that contained no danger for Sergio. The one person who created danger was Mikel Alonso, who took advantage of a pass from Melli to try to slide the ball but it didn't work out.
A little later in minute 75, Nino had a chance, straight in the mouth of the goal but he couldn't manage a second try when the first was repelled. The game went to sleep until in minute 85 Marc Bertrán took the ball to a shot at goal but it wasn't hard enough. A minute later Natalio had the chance to finish the game but again it didn't reac the goal.
But in extra time came the moment for CD Tenerife to make everything clear with a centre from Nino which Natalio made the most of and score to bring the final result to 0-2 and the first away victory of the season.
