The president of UD Llanera, Miguel López Cedrón, assured that the club is proud to receive the Llanerense of the Year 2024 award, awarded by the Gorfolí Santufirme Society. “When José Julio conveyed it to me, I already expressed my surprise and, above all, the excitement that we feel for a club like ours, which logically is one of the most important awards that a club in Llanera can receive. It is a tremendous enthusiasm that demonstrates the work that is being done in all levels of the team, from the first team to all the women’s teams and the children of grassroots football,” he said.
López Cedrón commented that they did not expect it and wanted to thank the organization of the award, the jury and the people who presented the candidacy, “for remembering us, that logically this award encourages us to continue working even harder if possible. With players alone, we are four hundred or so, plus coaches, managers, well more than 500 people, not counting parents, the truth is that a lot of people. A very large piece of Llanera is with us and for us it is a pride that the club works as well,” he highlighted.
Regarding the Copa del Rey match, against Cultural Leonesa, he assured that many people came to watch the match. “I think it is a match against an entire Leonese Culture that is packed with professional football and we have put them in a lot of trouble, we have been superior, we have had many more chances, but in the end quality rules in the areas, they took advantage of their only two On occasions, we failed 5 or 6 times, we have given a lot of hope to the people and at this moment, despite having lost, they give us joy and encourage us to continue working for the council of Llanera. It is an impulse to continue carrying the name of Llanera throughout Spain, without going any further, this week we play in Ávila, we are going to continue moving the name of Llanera throughout Spain and especially in Cup matches, which have a great impact, give the image that we gave today, the truth is that despite the defeat it is a very great pride,” he concluded.
