FNX Magokiler Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 Real Madrid's visit to Aranda de Duero fell like the Jackpot of the lottery in the Burgos town, however, logistical problems have turned that first feeling into uncertainty. “Maybe if another team came here, it wouldn't have been played today.” These were the words spoken by Sergio González after Cádiz's cup elimination at the hands of Arandina. That match was marked by the state of the grass, waterlogged by rainfall. The coach of the Andalusian team slipped the idea that the suspension of the match would have been on the table if Arandina's rival that night was someone with a greater magnitude. His words gained more strength once the draw for the round of 32 took place in which Real Madrid was paired with the Burgos team. Just a few hours later, the Burgos City Council offered El Plantío, Burgos' stadium, for the clash. “It is an opportunity for the city and an obligatory gesture for the team of the neighboring town of Aranda de Duero,” said Cristina Ayala, mayor of the city. The answer was immediate. Antonio Linaje, mayor of Aranda de Duero, spoke immediately. “We thank you very much, but the game will be played in Aranda, at the Juan Carlos Higuero.” A phone call unleashes the storm “I thank you for your personal call and your availability as mayor of the capital of our province, at a time when we might need it. It is what has the most value. If I have fought for something, it is because Arandina is Aranda de Duero, as Aranda is Arandina,” said Virginia Martínez, president of the club. After the friendly declarations, the storm arrives. Maximum tension between Arandina and the Aranda de Duero City Council. After disagreements over economic figures and legal mechanisms to receive the money, the exchange of accusations between the two sides has ended up surpassing all types of institutional barriers. A call between Francisco Galán, secretary of Arandina, and Belén Esteban, Councilor for Sports, blew everything up in the air. Also present were Virginia Martínez, president of the club, and Antonio Linaje, mayor of Aranda. According to the Correo de Burgos, the tension took shape when the club secretary, according to the mayor, “snatched Virginia's phone” and snapped at her. “You are going to eat my eggs.” “I told him: you are making a mistake, you are not saying it to me like Antonio Linaje but to the mayor of Aranda. And then he repeated 'you're going to eat my balls, you and your [CENSORED] councillor.' I don't know who she thinks she is, but it's the worst thing that's happened to this shitty town,' and she hung up the call." Club and town hall, distanced The club has broken relations with the city council. They point out in their official statement that, “given the serious public accusations of Antonio Linaje - by questioning the balance of accounts for ticket sales in the matches against Cádiz and Murcia - and the bad attitude of the council towards the club, they request a new interlocutor to “be able to begin the preparation work for the event of greatest general, social and sporting interest in the history of our club.” https://www.infobae.com/espana/2023/12/17/terremoto-en-la-arandina-por-el-partido-de-copa-del-rey-ante-el-real-madrid-me-vais-a-comer-los-huevos/
