Had to put them. Be brave in decision-making and clone the ‘UD model’. 608 days later, CD Tenerife has homegrown players in its starting eleven in a Canarian derby. Quite an event. Since March 28, 2021, with the presence of the starting goalkeeper Dani Hernández at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López against the yellows (1-1), in full pandemic football -empty stands-, there was no trace of wicker forged in the factory Geneto. In this campaign, the attacker Alberto Martín Díaz ‘Teto’ (Santa Cruz de Tenerife, 21 years old) captivates with his 16 appearances (956′), and two goals.
Located on the right wing, he rose to fame in the playoff dispute for promotion to the RFEF Second Division against Arucas CF of Nauzet Alemán, Carmelo González or David García Santana –the player with the most caps in the history of UD Las Palmas–. He left his signature in the semifinals. The chicharrero scored the first goal for the Tenerife subsidiary, which managed to prevail (1-2) in the Gran Canaria Annex.
In the final, they also got rid of Villa de Santa Brígida, in which Deivid was a member –now attached to the sports management–, by a bulky (4-0). Against Olot, Teto fell by the minimum (1-0) and was left on the verge of promotion to the Second RFEF. But Tenerife B had already shown the way, there was category and talent in the nursery.
After rejecting Pedri, the chicharreros leaders look at their subsidiary and open the sports city
Next to the Teto explosion, figure the recovery of Javi Alonso (Santa Cruz de Tenerife, 24 years old). Last season, due to a serious injury, he was discharged at the end of March. He didn’t count for Ramis. But in this campaign, he has already played nine games. As a blue and white he computes 49 and opens tomorrow in a derby.
Two values that serve to compensate for the delusions of a sports policy based on the hiring of players from the peninsula and abroad. After investing twelve million in the recently inaugurated Javier Pérez sports city, they have a new air.
Quarry winds. The historic slip of letting Pedri escape, discarded on two occasions by the leaders of the Tenerife subsidiaries, now has part of its reward. The UD did bet on the Infante de Tegueste, who now delights in the World Cup, and has received 25 million. Teto and Alonso to heal a blushing wound.
On the yellow side are Eric Curbelo, Álex Suárez, Saúl Coco, Fabio González, Jonathan Viera, Sandro Ramírez, Víctor Machín ‘Vitolo’, Kirian Rodríguez, Joel del Pino, Benito Ramírez and Julen Pérez as factory products. To which must be added Moleiro, Sergi Cardona, Valles and Domínguez who went through the subsidiary.
