1 year undefeated at home. Recoletas At. Valladolid leads one of the great sporting feats of the ASOBAL season with a steady pace, hand in hand with a well-defined proposal, in constant growth. David Pisonero's team has been adding the 'step by step' experience until surpassing the metaphorical barrier of 365 days without losing at Huerta del Rey.
The Blue Gladiators, sixth in the classification, do not give away the two points in front of their fans since March 2, 2024 against Bathco BM. Torrelavega, with a very tight 32-33. Since then, it has accumulated a record of 11 victories and 2 draws in 13 local matches, with a record of 434 goals scored (average of 33.4) and 382 goals against (average of 29.5). "There are many factors that come into this great achievement. They start from individual work, collective work, technical staff and our fans, which is one of the best in the entire ASOBAL competition. Following the plan we have had so far, why not dream of maintaining this pace," explains David Pisonero in an interview conducted by Recoletas At. Valladolid with the collaboration of ASOBAL.
The front line breaks down and contextualizes the moment of the Pucelano block, on the rise. Focusing on this season, since the debut against Frigoríficos del Morrazo, it has added 7 victories and 2 draws, with the dispute of the three derbies of Castilla y León against Tubos Aranda Villa de Aranda and ABANCA Ademar León -first round- and Viveros Herol BM. Nava, just a few weeks ago. "We don't feel pressure, we have to take it as a motivation, to be able to continue adding points and remain undefeated alongside our fans. We dream of big things, of being up there, but we are focused on week by week and day by day," points out Pisonero, always highlighting the intangible factor of Huerta del Rey.
The iconic track has escalated to the status of a fortress, increasing attendance figures by almost 15%, breaking the barrier of 2,000 average fans who enjoy live matches of Recoletas At. Valladolid (a record that had not been reached since 2018). "The atmosphere in Huerta del Rey is unique in the League. It is one of the most mythical pavilions in ASOBAL. It has been played here for a very long time and I think that, between that and the great dynamic we have, we are able to achieve these beautiful things. We have always had a lot of people, a lot of spectators, but it is true that this year, perhaps with everything we are achieving, maybe more people are joining. You can feel those extra voices and applause," comments David Pisonero. The next match against Helvetia Anaitasuna this coming Sunday (12.30h) will be the next test to maintain the sports dynamic.
