JOSE'S
YOUNG GUNS COME OUT FIGHTING! Following another week of turmoil at the Campo De Futbol, CD Javea made the relatively short trip down the motorway to El Campello. Once again Jose Luis's squad selection was severely hampered by the loss of several key players. And from the off, the blood drained from the faces of the faithful travelling support when it appeared that Javea's central defence had been purchased from the garden centre on the way down. El Campello started the better, fresh from their shock away win at promotion hopefuls UD Benissa, but Jose Luis's young warriors, scorched by off the field events at the club, rose from the ashes and set the standard for the reformed rojiblancos. With David Ivars and Yousso gaining control of midfield play, Javea enjoyed a long spell of offensive football and the crowd could sense a goal was imminent. It was Valentin who broke through the host's defence on 20 minutes only for keeper Jordi Bonet to drag him down for a certain penalty. However the linesman's flag was raised for his interpretation of the rules for another player coming back from an offside position and the chance to take the lead was gone. The rojiblancos were turning the screw and desperate defending by El Campello gave away many unpunished fouls that succeeded in keeping the Javea strikers at bay. The referee finally booked Campello's fullback Cartula for the fifth foul on Pablo Irigoyen, small compensation for a one-sided affair.The Hosts were now resolved to long range punts to relieve the pressure and it was from this that the rojiblancos defence fatefully stopped waiting for the flag that never came, allowing El Campello's De Paula a clear run on Ortola's goal for an easy finish on 40 minutes. The rojiblancos continued to control the game from the restart and an early run by Ruben Sierro down the left saw his power drive skim the host's crossbar. It has to said that Javea's passes in the final third were lacking in quality and long periods of possession were wasted. Worse was to come when Onieva broke through only for keeper Jordi Bonet to crash him to the floor outside the 18 yard area but referee Senor Bustamante Ortiz saw no foul despite the fact that the striker would take no further part in the game. Javea intensified the pressure and El Campello keeper Bonet was fortunate to escape with a caution on 65 minutes for handball outside his area. Within minutes David Ivars broke through clearly onside only to see a flag raised again. Complaints rained down from players and the bench resulting in coach Jose Luis being sent to the stands five minutes later. It was leading scorer David Ivars who looked the likely man to score with fine efforts on target after good work by Pablo Irigoyen and Dino but El Campello's defence were resolutely desperate to hang on to their one goal lead. The frustration was now apparent for both teams resulting in a scrappy finish to the game and a host of late bookings. Once again CD Javea were on the wrong end of some curious referee decisions, Senor Bustamante even booking Javea's coach Salva for retrieving a ball that was kicked out. It must have been a quiet coach on the journey home but let's take heart from the outstanding performance of this team which included no fewer than seven youth players on the day. If CD Javea's new administration can match the players commitment then the club can look forward to a bright future. CD
