The blood derby. One family, two shields. Father, son, nephews … The spice of life. The parthenon of Gran Canaria opens its doors this afternoon to the classic of the heights. It is still a therapy of the soul. Under the talent horizon of Viera y Corredera, a daily chop. On the 23rd floor of the AC Hotel Gran Canaria, Gonzalo Cabrera Galván, 83, who made his first steps in regional football, has it clear. Whatever they say, Teide is yellow.
“Viera is from another dimension, the boy runs like a man possessed and shows off a category from another era.” Born in Fuerteventura, he lives in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The ‘pío pío’ is their religion. He wears it on his chest and in his heart. His derby lasts all year. A lifetime.
On the other side of the table, before starting the pulse of the skyscraper classic, the photographer Gonzalo Jesús Cabrera Lasso, 48, heats up the dialectical debate with his father. In his magic lens, a Chilean goal from Corredera on 91 ‘to compensate for Vicente Gómez’s lash in 2014. And incidentally, to bury Marcos Márquez’s curse with his goal on the horn in April 2008. «I fell in love of CD Tenerife by Rommel Fernández, what a player. Then came Fernando Redondo, Óscar Alberto Dertycia, Diego Latorre, Felipe, Chano and Juanele ». The walks through Europe, the two leagues stolen from Madrid in the Tenerife candy box and a coach above the verse. «My favorite coach has always been Jorge Valdano. He gave the team another air, number one, with the permission of Jupp Heynckes. ”
Father and son begin the battle. «You only have to look at the seasons in First [34 del cuadro amarillo por las trece del conjunto blanquiazul] to realize the greatness of one team and another. Furthermore, in the attack, no one can stop us: Jesé, Pejiño, Peñaranda … They are hurricanes », explains Gonzalo Cabrera I, who is moved to evoke the dunes and rocky areas of the Insular. «The romantic football».
Germán, Castellano, Gilberto I, Guedes … Yellow icons of cinematographic category. “Tenerife would like to have Viera for this derby and the five hundred to come. My prognosis: 2-0 ». For the photographer of emotions, his premiere arrives in Siete Palmas, the same one that Alfaro profaned (2008). The son responds to the father from prudence. «Sweetbread is a ‘little devil’ … Our turn is in this beautiful land». Diplomacy above all. It is the classic of the 365 days. “Be good, I disinherit you,” jokes the veteran. A wheelchair to infinity. Everyone fits in this derby. Pablo, Joan and Fabián make up the quarry. Nephews and grandchildren 23 floors from the blessed lawn.
