Hinchas y Jugadores - Tenerife with Druso Lopez (19th May, 2017)

Follow Druso on Twitter here . A bit about yourself and your background My name is Druso Lopez, I am a 20 year old International Football Business at UCFB in Wembley, so is not hard to guess that I am a huge football fan and I would like to develop a career within the sport industry. I know live in London but I moved to the UK when I was 15, to a small town in Lancashire called Fleetwood and that's how I become a Fleetwood town fan. Also I like Manchester City, I am a huge football fan and watch a lot of football every week; English, Spain, Italy... I don't mind as long as the game is good, but I've to admit I'm a Premier League fan, I'm aiming to visit every football ground in London before 2018! How long have you been a fan of Tenerife and what made you support them in the first place? I was born and raised in Tenerife capital Santa Cruz and my house was just a 10 minutes walk from the Stadium; my dad and my grandad as most of my families were huge Teneri...

1-1: Rayo Vallecano and Tenerife share the spoils (10th April, 2017)

I see what he was doing. Pep Guardiola used to bring on Keita, a defensive midfielder, for David Villa to defend the left flank. In the 2009-10 seasons, Mourinho played Chivu, a midfielder, on the left wing for a suspended Pandev to - successfully - block Dani Alves' runs in the second leg of the Champions League. So when Míchel put Fran Beltrán on the left-wing, it wasn't totally without reason. Suso Santana had to be stopped. It was the only major surprise of the evening - Jordi Gómez and Zé Castro replaced suspended Ebert and Amaya. But despite the creativity of Jordi and the talent of Trashorras, they were defensively weak and on the left wing Aarón Ñíguez wrecked havoc - it was his pass that set up Amath Ndiaye for the first goal. And that was just three minutes in. Slowly, but surely, Rayo grew into the game and the players grew into their roles, but it was a first half to forget - even if Embarba equalized after a Santi diagonal pass to Ernesto was blocked. ...

Míchel's Rayo and a dangerous Tenerife (3rd April, 2017)

Some statistics after the 3-1 win at Girona: Míchel's Rayo have now only conceded three goals (one of them, against Getafe, was an own goal by Dorado) and has kept a clean sheet in its last three games.  Moreover, the franjirrojos have scored five goals in the last three games, two of them from Guerra. The last times Rayo scored three goals this season were the 3-0 win against Cádiz and the 3-3 draw with Numancia). The last time Rayo scored three away from home and won was on April 26, 2014, when Saúl, Larrivey and Seba Fernández gave Rayo a 3-0 win at Granada. There was some good news in Girona - UE Llagostera, the team that underwent six promotions in 10 years but was relegated last season to the Segunda B, earned a 2-0 win at home against Levante B, which seems them move five points clear of the relegation playoff spot in the Segunda B Group 3, easing relegation fears just a little. This win reminded me of the 3-1 win against Almería. In the 2013-14 season Rayo had...
