Bab 74:  Appointment of temporary captains.

  The next day, the team resumed practice.

  The head coach reduced the team's physical training due to the team's need to play a double week.

  Just after the team had finished warming up, Pepe Mel called everyone to heel with the captain's armband.

  "The period during which Erinay is injured will see him miss the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final with Barcelona and also miss a league game."

  "So, we're going to reappoint a captain within that time."

  Everyone sniffs some look to Santa Cruz, because Santa Cruz is a deserving candidate in terms of seniority and professional attitude.

  He was committed to his work and could even be described as dogmatic, and people were more convinced.

  Others looked to Mario.

  He's also one of the best on the team, not too shabby in terms of influence, and everyone is equally more convinced.
