The banner of encouragement that ended withered. Portrait of heartbreak and mockery. Welcome to folklore to the Canarian derby. The forward Loren Morón (Marbella, 29 years old) was the star movement of UD Las Palmas last winter market -tied on the horn on January 30-. A discharge from Primera to return to Primera. Because of a banner, the temperature of the Canarian classic rises in relation to this executor of the area with 134 games in the First Division. Loaned by Real Betis Balompié until June 30 with a purchase option of one million -not linked to the promotion-, CD Tenerife unsuccessfully bid for the attacker, who already has a yellow goal against CD Lugo (six shots, three starts and 313 minutes in his six appearances complete his figures). As a Verdiblanco footballer, he has eight derbies with Sevilla on his record. This Saturday, from 5:30 p.m. at the Heliodoro, he makes his debut in the Canarian classic.
The chicharrera formation went ahead in the negotiations for the Andalusian gunman in January, but Loren kissed the yellow. The goal from Marbella in the Saudi Arabian Super Cup with the green-and-white elastic triggered euphoria in the Teide estate. To the point, that Heliodoro, in Tenerife-Ponferradina (January 14), pronounced: ‘Loren, we are waiting for you’. With 25 goals in First Division, the acquisition left a deep trauma on the neighboring island.
Loren Morón’s father went so far as to state that Tenerife had been the “only club that has gone directly to Betis” to take over the services of the striker, with a contract until June 2024 with those of Heliópolis. After the pumpkins, a spicy presentation. The signing of UD struck down any hint of controversy in his presentation and he admitted feeling praised for the blue and white insistence.
The conversations
“There was interest with Tenerife, as with many teams. It’s something that is talked about a lot. There was interest, we were open to everything and we are grateful to the teams that have shown an interest in me. Tenerife was one of them”. The friendship of the stiletto with several players from the Gran Canaria locker room was decisive, as was the march of Pimienta’s formation, which has 58 points and second gear.
The yellows face the derby with 20 points of advantage over the chicharreros and they chain fourteen days in direct ascent. The ceiling of Tenerife is the eleventh place. Loren has participated in the six games that he has been available for Pimienta -four starts-. Despite seeing the goal against CD Lugo, his performance line is downward. Against Andorra and Malaga he went unnoticed. He caused a penalty against SD Ponferradina but his shot from eleven meters was cleared by Amir Abedzadeh.
In his seventh game in yellow, the ideal moment arrives to make up for it. It will be pointed out by the chicharrera fans, as Pedri (2019) or Sergio Lobera (2013) already were. In the case of the now FC Barcelona player, they did not forgive him for his double refusal to the chicharrera base. For his part, the coach from Aragon questioned the defensive style of the people from Tenerife in the previous one. “He would never play like Tenerife”. UD were overwhelmed (3-0) in the Canarian classic on December 4, 2013 with goals from Ricardo -penalty- and a brace from Ayoze Pérez. Loren will share the weight of the whistles with Viera, who returns to the Heliodoro after the “I see a lot of party here” harangue on June 1 in the first leg of the playoff.
Loren’s story is a hymn to heartbreak. From wanted to designated. A banner and a script change.
