Ownership since 2018 from one of the living legends of Brazilian football, Ronaldo Phenomenon, holder of most club actions, Real Valladolid is in a periclicating situation, very close to falling to the second division in Spain.
The team based in the city of Valladolid, in the Spanish northwest, began the 30th round, from a total of 38, in the last place among the 20 participants of La Liga, to 11 points from 17th position, the first to escape the sticking.
In 29 games in the championship, the team won only four, tied four others and lost 21, with 19 goals scored (worst attack) and 65 goals conceded (worst defense). Of the last ten matches, lost nine and tied one.
The scenario naturally leaves the city’s fans of about 300,000 inhabitants, the 13th most populous in the dissatisfied and irritated European country.
To try to love this state of mind, the club’s management has decided to implement a kind of Customer Service, valid for approximately 24,000 supporters, which today have advantages in purchasing tickets and team products.
The idea of Ronaldo and company is to create a greater proximity to the portion of the most faithful and passionate fans for Valladolid, to understand them better.
Weekly information, with news about the team’s activities, are already sent to members, and this initiative adds another, which aims to give voice to them.
The director of the club’s corporate area, Jorge Santiago, will be twice a week, always on Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 18h to 19h30, in a room at José Zorrilla Municipal Stadium, where Valladolid sends its games.
In it, it will receive individually fans, 20 minutes each, in order to hear from them opinions, suggestions and complaints, according to the newspaper BAR.
The latter must be the most frequent, and criticism will certainly be dumped in Ronaldo, whose departure has been asked to be insistent, and possibly in coach Álvaro Rubio – which defended the team as a player from 2006 to 2016 – and the day -to -day cast in presenting a decent football.
This season, Valladolid has three Brazilians in their ranks: striker Marcos André, 28, shirt 9 and the only one to be scheduled regularly (in 20 performances, scored a goal), who spent his entire career in small Spanish teams; midfielder Kenedy (former Fluminense, former Chelsea, former Flamengo), 29, owner of the club’s highest salary but hardly entered the field (only twice); and left-back Henrique, 30, former Vasco, not related to play.
To have access to the ombudsman, the fan interested in releasing the verb, after receiving electronic communication from the club, must fill out an registration form. Valladolid will put them on a list and call them by the application order.
Since Ronaldo took over the club, Valladolid has suffered two relegations in 2021 and 2023, being able to return to the elite the following season. His best position during this period was the 13th, in 2020.
Founded in 1928, Valladolid never won a title of expression. Apart from a few first places in the second or third division, its only trophy came in 1984, at the Spanish League Cup, a competition that had only four editions.
