Mirandes fell short of reaching the top division for the first time in their history this Saturday. The Mirandes team, after having been on the verge of relegation to Primera Federación last season, has had its best historical campaign. This seems impossible after the situation the Mirandes team was in last summer, with barely any players. The loaned players have been key this season for Alescio Lisci's team. Gorrotxa, Benito, Parada, etc… and of course, three players loaned by Athletic Club: Urko Izeta, Unai Egiluz, and Hugo Rincón. The Aia striker has scored 12 goals, Egiluz has had a good amount of minutes as a starter, and Hugo Rincón has been a fundamental piece for the rojillos. And it's that Miranda has been a good transit point for many Athletic players before making the leap to the first team, so not promoting to the top division could be beneficial for Athletic, with the goal of continuing to train players in a category as important as LaLiga Hypermotion. In the top division, it might be more complicated to find a place for these players, and you would directly reinforce a rival in the same category, so Mirandes' continuity in the second division can be key in Lezama's training process. Over the years, many players have passed through Anduva to gain experience. Two of the best examples are found in Athletic's first team with Beñat Prados and Dani Vivian, who after their time at Anduva, returned to Athletic to be important in Valverde's schemes. Others like Iñigo Vicente, Imanol García de Albéniz, or Nico Serrano did not find their starring role at Athletic, but they did in other teams, so there is no doubt that Miranda is an ideal place for the leap to professionalism of the young players. Oviedo came back and promoted after a thrilling extra time that ended in a celebration. The promotion final was played on Saturday, and Mirandes lost 3-1. The Mirandes team had developed a great campaign, but they couldn't overcome Oviedo in the final. Anduva has been a key place for the development of many Athletic players, and Mirandes has been an important partner in this process. The relationship between Mirandes and Athletic is very close, and Mirandes' failure to promote can be beneficial for both teams.
