Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
It has been a weekend marked by good news in the chain of subsidiaries of UD Las Palmas. Las Palmas Athetic achieved the rise to 2 RFEF on Sunday, after winning 2-0 at Ibarra in the annex. And the ‘C’ also managed to promote 3 RFEF.
Despite both major news for yellow interests, the first team of Las Palmas does not stand out precisely because of the presence of Canteanos who have promoted from the lower categories of the club. This season, only Pezzolesi and Bassinga have had minutes in the first team going up from the lower sets. Both with hardly any prominence and without any continuity.
-Ángel López, former club player, former coach of Pepe Mel and former coach of lower categories of the UD, is critical in ‘Being sports Las Palmas’ with the policy that the club follows with his quarry: “Nothing. In Las Palmas they do not have the quarry, nor the coaches that come. What is the use of going up to 2 RFEF if next year does not go up any?”
He emphasizes that during his stage “the same thing always happened, we were one or two years in 2 RFEF and we went down.” In addition, he adds that “when there is no money or when the team is in second it is when we throw from them” and that “it is of no use to be champions in the Canary Islands in all categories if there are then no players in the first team.”
In addition, Ángel says that “players do not form in the subsidiary, you have to give them games, continuity and have to be wrong in the first team.” He also points out that “the club has a policy that when a good offer comes for a player, they cannot keep it and leave. That money is taken, that the footballer is sold well and that he is reversed to work the quarry well.”
