accompanied by the Director General of Penitentiary Institutions
presented the “Oxygen Project” this morning at the Madrid IV Penitentiary Center in Navalcarnero
The project seeks to rescue the values of nature for the benefit of the person
with a view to his or her reintegration into society
Its main objective is the training of prison inmates
through courses related to the environment that have been designed to facilitate their subsequent incorporation into the labour market
The “Oxygen Project” is promoted by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of the Interior
the former through the Biodiversity Foundation and the Autonomous National Parks Agency
through the Autonomous Prison Work and Training for Employment Agency and the Navalcarnero Penitentiary Centre
it has the participation of three social organizations with extensive experience in this area
Solidarity for Development and the Tomillo Foundation
The first initiative that has been launched within the framework of this project is currently being developed in the Madrid IV Penitentiary Center in Navalcarnero
The institutions promoting this initiative intend that the “Oxygen Project” will soon be extended to all prisons in our country
offering many of the inmates the opportunity to train in environmental matters as well as an adequate job future
eighteen inmates of the Madrid IV Penitentiary Center in Navalcarnero participate in the two modules of the course that has just begun: gardening and forestry worker
The gardening module runs from October 2006 to May 2007
while the forestry worker module runs from May to September 2007
students will receive the corresponding degree

Castilla have had their best start to a season under Santiago Solari
and were looking to continue that run and make it three wins on the bounce today against Navalcarnero
They would be without star man Vinícius Júnior
as he has been called into the first team squad for the Madrid derby tonight
perfectly abled new signing Jorge De Frutos took his place
with the other new summer singing Ayoub Abou also starting in midfield
Augusto Galván was included for the first time this season on the bench

The first half was poor in the sense of actual chances created
Both teams were passing the ball around smoothly
with every player getting the chance to take a few nice touches here and there
Every shot Castilla carved out seemed to have a body in the way of it
and to be fair to Navalcarnero they defended really well during the majority of the game
Ridiculous from Franchu. pic.twitter.com/iN0bbFn3D7
The second half at first appeared to heading the same way
as Navalcarnero looked to stretch the game out and try and achieve a draw
as Castilla continued to knock at the door
finding Feuillassier- but the Argentinian did the rest
Franchu went on a long mazy run through the opposition defence before firing past the keeper to finally put Castilla ahead
It was no surprise then that it didn’t take long for the lead to be doubled
Adrián De La Fuente headed home Álvaro Fidalgo’s corner
Castilla were steamrolling ahead and didn’t look done yet
The game settled down a bit as Madrid couldn't find a way past the defence
but then towards the end it randomly exploded
Navalcarnero took advantage of a couple of lucky bounces in the box before slotting home past Luca Zidane
Just as it looked like the final minutes were going to be tense
Jorge De Frutos broke away on the counter and squared it to Dani Gómez to finish coolly and make the final scoreline 3-1 to Castilla

Another good win, and it sends Castilla to the top of the table. At least, until tomorrow depending on other results... It has to be said the team are playing very well, and look more confident then they have ever been under Solari. The cause in unclear, but we can only hope they maintain this form for as long as possible. It’s another B team clash next time as Castilla take on Real Valladolid B
who are in some of their best recent form themselves
I’d also be chuffed if you joined me tonight on the @ManagingMadrid Twitter to watch the Madrid derby
Zinedine Zidane's son Luca was among two Castilla players sent off as Real Madrid's youth side suffered another defeat on Sunday
Santiago Solari's side were 1-0 up against local minnows Navalcarnero early in the second half
when goalkeeper Luca Zidane dwelt on the ball after receiving a back pass
lost possession and hauled down the opposition attacker
Referee Juan Luis Pulido Santana showed another straight red card
and Castilla's nine men eventually lost 2-1
meaning promotion from the third tier is already looking difficult
Castilla now sit 12th in Segunda Division B Group 1
with seven points from their first six games
The division is currently topped by Celta Vigo B
with Deportivo La Coruna's youth team in second spot and Atletico Madrid's youngsters in fifth
The first Castilla player to be sent off in the game was Oscar Rodriguez
who scored a stunning long-range goal in Madrid's International Champions Cup game against Manchester City in Los Angeles in July

Ex-Madrid player Solari kept his job last summer despite Castilla's failure to even make the promotion playoffs
although there had been speculation that his former teammate Guti might replace him following his success with the club's under-18 team
Castilla's failure to gain promotion from the third tier in recent seasons
has seen the club place promising youngsters on loan at other clubs so they can gain experience at a higher level
Martin Odegaard is currently on loan at Dutch Eredivisie side Heerenveen
Fede Valverde is in the Spanish top flight with Deportivo's senior side

Madrid is a wine-growing region and its booming appellation of origin is proof of this
It is now made up of 51 wineries and has four recognized subzones: Arganda
It is also an opportunity to visit one of the jewels of Celtic sculpture in the peninsula
which are just a few minutes away from the Zone
A post shared by Bodega Real Cortijo Carlos III (@realcortijo)
King Carlos III ordered the construction of the Bodega Real del Cortijo in 1782
which has been considered a Historic Artistic Monument since the 1980s and is only five kilometers from the Royal Site of Aranjuez
It has been the supplier of wine and oil for five kings and a good list of illustrious and noble personalities
And they claim to be the only winery owned by a Royal House in the world
beyond the traditional tastings and pairings
there is even a wine casino – games of chance animated by sommeliers – and the option of creating your own wine
The Muñoz Martin Winery has been located in the historic center of Navalcarnero since 1930
They are led by a fifth generation of winemakers who have managed to combine innovation and tradition
The tour of its 28 hectares of vineyards spread between this village and Villamanta includes a visit to its cave and wine tasting with a tapa
The Luis Saavedra organic winery has belonged to the same family since the nineteenth century
but it was not until the late twentieth century that the tests began to make a fully organic production
It is located in the extreme south of the Community of Madrid
and belongs to the subzone of San Martín de Valdeiglesias
The wineries near Madrid continue to grow in popularity and diversity in terms of their wines
They have also been able to adapt and recover the winemaking tradition of the region
Only two games left for Castilla to struggle through
If I thought there wasn't much to talk about last week then I was kidding myself
There is almost nothing to say about the latest disastrous encounter in Santiago Solari's joke of a season in charge
Have a look at his line up of choice below and make of it what you will
that I am unable to write in my usual format
so I'm going to take you through the positive and negatives of today's game
and attempt to summarize the damage that Solari has caused this year
Castilla XI: Craninx, Tejero, Sánchez, Lienhart, Abner, Valverde, Muñoz(C), Liangming, Campuzano, Vergos & Díaz #RealMadridCastilla pic.twitter.com/l6FfDtoZWs
but Castilla struggled to bring the ball down and create chances for the full 90
but all for nothing down to the referee’s own torrid performance
and I don't blame the players for having no idea what they were supposed to be doing
I genuinely believe my grandmother could do better from the grave..
Talk of the play offs will finally be over
and this was obviously looming over the payer’s heads in the last few games
Hopefully they can go into the last two fixtures without the shackles
didn't put a foot wrong besides the second goal
Every time I've seen him play he has impressed me
Álex has two appearances in the last two seasons with Castilla
resulting in him dropping out of his Belgium youth national side
especially after he’s seen Luca Zidane get chance after chance undeservedly
Looks like a player Real Madrid have let down
I would like to see him as the #1 if Castilla manage to keep him next season
the defence has still come a long way since the start of the campaign
They demonstrated that well today up until Javier Sánchez's sending off
Even after they kept out Navalcarnero well
Castilla could once again have a strong defensive unit
Man of the match is Álex Craninx for a great show in goal. Shame it's taken Solari 36 games to realise he may be of use. #RealMadridCastilla
I have been very reserved this season up until this point
but he has been detrimental to some of these player’s young careers
The point of Castilla is to nurture and develop the future stars of the club
and lay the foundations for a successful future
Every single player should improve over the course of the year
and this year I can only name a handful that have
The majority of promising youngsters have seen their season completely wasted
Solari offers nothing — trying out the wrong things at the wrong times
I know for a fact had he not played for the first team
he wouldn't be in charge of Castilla now which is a shame
There are some fantastic fits out there who are genius when it comes to development
Solari has been like a bull in a China shop
and some of Castilla's most expensive china may have been damaged to the point of no return
How he's managed to carry on for as long as he has is a miracle
Sergio Díaz has suffered the most under his reign
transforming from consistently doing the unthinkable up front
to constantly being poor at best on the wing
That decision alone has lost Castilla dozens of points
Solari's predecessor has an incredibly tough job on his hands to restore the confidence of these kids in their strongest positions
then these kids may completely lose some of the most important years of their young careers
Man of the match today was Álex Craninx who took his chance with both hands
and I hope that this is the start of a good spell for him
Hopefully Solari gets fired this week and we might get to watch some enjoyable efforts in the last 2 games

It was a different set up today for Castilla
who had to deal with a few absentees in the squad
u19s player Carlos Cobo was called in at left back to make his Castilla debut
Víctor Campuzano was to start up top with Sergio Díaz and Martin Ødegaard either side
Javier Sánchez was also awarded a rare start at centre back
Castilla XI: Abad, Achraf, Lienhart, J Sánchez, Cobo, Valverde, Febas, Ødegaard, Enzo(C), Campuzano & Díaz #RealMadridCastilla pic.twitter.com/mzG3QoAl2v
Sergio Díaz livened the mood up a bit with some trademark dribbles
but apart from that the half was very forgetful
and took the lead 20 minutes in when a great Achraf cross found the head of Javier Sánchez to score his first Castilla goal
It looked like the makings of a high scoring victory
but that all changed when Febas broke away
but latched onto a heavy touched and went in on a Navalcarnero defender
The referee showed him a straight red card
Half time arrived and Castilla went in with a deserving lead
The game restarted and Castilla were on top from the off
who had already picked up a yellow card in the first half
lunched in on an opponent giving the referee no choice but to send him off
It became obvious that Castilla needed to focus on defending the lead now
and that's exactly what they attempted to do
It was going okay until Navalcarnero won a free kick on the edge of the box..
The taker placed it perfectly into the top corner past Abad to give Navalcarnero the equaliser
who brought on Cedrés and Tena as defensive reinforcements (they were the best options we had available defensively...)
Navalcarnero still didn't look to threaten too much
and Castilla enjoyed some decent spells of possession
In the end they had to hold out and settle for a draw
Castilla somehow stay at 7th place in the table
but can go down to 8th if results don't go their way
Things are going to have to change and fast
then their season could take a nose dive and start to become a nightmare
Man of the match was Fede Valverde who pulled off his best performance so far in a Madrid shirt..
He was absolutely everywhere and took charge of the team
A vital reason to why Castilla even got a point
Castilla return away to Mensajero next week with the aim of finally getting a win

Plus some first team thoughts on Arribas and Park
Let’s begin this month edition of written Castilla Corner (last month here) by time travelling to two months ago
immediately following a 2-2 draw with Internacional de Madrid
had charged into a 2-1 lead thanks to Hugo Duro and Carlos Dotor
Looking assured to add to their lead at halftime
Castilla failed to make their first half dominance count and eventually let their lead slip in added time
It was the third game in a row in which Castilla had taken a lead and failed to secure all three points
This particular collapse looked the mostly costly of the three

Returning to the present day, Real Madrid Castilla’s season has taken a complete U-turn
A rare run of two wins over Las Rozas and Real Navalcarnero has left the reserves comfortably clear of relegation and two points off the final play-off spot with a game in hand
The turnaround has been a welcome surprise and
From the get-go, this Segunda B season promised to be weird and intense and it hasn’t disappointed. Last season’s group champions (Atletico Madrid B) are five points away from simply staying in the third tier while the runaway leaders
were the runaway losers of Group 1 last season
needing a global pandemic to prevent relegation
with sides predicted to be relegated heading for promotion and vice a versa
made Castilla’s troubles all the more disappointing and they’ve been fortunate that things have normalized recently (except Atleti
As much as Castilla have improved in the New Year
this promotion charge would be nothing without third place Navalcarnero’s collapse
Navalcarnero were putting together a fairytale run of their own until they visited Castilla at the beginning of November
they were unbeaten and top of the league with three wins in four games
After becoming the victims of a really encouraging Castilla performance
in which the hosts came back from 1-0 down to win 3-1
Navalcarnero have played 10 games and not won a single one
It’s a dire run of results that Raul’s men have taken full advantage of in 2021
have always required star power to challenge for promotion
a talented core of young players pushed the reserves into the Spanish second division
The same could largely be said of the 2018/19 side
though they fell well short of repeating the feat of 2012 in the end
With a historic UEFA Youth League title in the bag preceding this season
it would be easy to say that a similarly talented core has once again pushed Castilla into promotion contention
Even in light of recent improvements (we’ll get to that)
I don’t think that’s a fair reflection of Castilla’s promotion push
If anyone were to take the credit for where the club is now
Duro is the culmination of alot of soul searching from Raul
the former Spanish forward has preferred a physical
the signing of Duro from Getafe settled any debate in regards Castilla’s starting forward
Hugo Duro’s goals this season:⚽️ Las Rozas (A)⚽️ Getafe B (H)⚽️ Navalcarnero (H)⚽️ Poblense (A)⚽️ Dux (H)⚽️ Sanse (H)⚽️ Las Rozas (H)⚽️ Navalcarnero (A) pic.twitter.com/Ds8r2PNuoK
The 21-year-old is certainly the most refined and promising option that Raul has so far had at his disposal
Naturally with eight goals in 12 games so far this season
Duro’s potential has been known nationwide for a lot longer than this season
Prior to joining Castilla, Duro had already made his LaLiga and European debut with the Getafe first team
scoring his first goal for the club against Villarreal
scoring from the spot during Spain’s recent European qualifying campaign
“We’ve been keeping a close eye on him since he was at under-17s level,” a Real club figure told AS following the announcement that Duro would be joining Madrid on loan
Credit must go to the board room for making Duro possible. Manu Fernandez was, supposedly, critical in turning Madrid’s interest in the young striker into something concrete having worked with Duro at Getafe B and was key in convincing the striker to take a step backwards and join Castilla
Activating the purchase option in Duro contract seems like a surity for Madrid and should he pan out -be it with Castilla
the first team or profit in the bank- Duro’s signing will join the UEFA Youth League victory in the highlight reel of a great first season for Fernandez’s administrative team
that Duro has already proven to be a massive steal for Real
The young forward has approached this division with a confidence similar to how Reinier Jesus did in his brief stint last year
One of my favorite attributes in a forward is chasing down lost causes and Duro has done that all campaign
it would be that he offers little outside of his target man role
one could argue that this is more to do with what Raul’s asking him to do up front than Duro not having the skills to play as a more complete forward
His selection to the senior squad is richly deserved and one would be hard pushed to believe he won't make the most of it
I was initially under the impression that picking some standout individual improvements would be easy
its actually quite difficult to single out a player
There has been a significant improvement across the board with the side looking much more confident and composed
Blooding the next generation has been paired with patience with the current side
Sergio Santos would certainly be the poster boy in this respect
No one has struggled to find form this season as much as he has
looking unsteady at best of times and a liability at the worst
The flexible full back hit rock bottom in the 2-2 draw against Internacional de Madrid
repeatedly getting turned and stretched to a point
where taking him seemed liked the merciful thing to do
he obviously trusted the 20-year-old to come good and started him once again the following week against Atletico Madrid B
Santos finally found some confidence in his performance against Atleti and he’s been building off it ever since
He no longer looks frail defensively and has added a wicked cross to his arsenal
creating two goals in his last three games
Honorable mentions have to go out to Mario Gila, Hugo Vallejo and Cesar Gelabert, particularly the latter two. Both came into this season with a lot of expectation, Gelabert had a disappointing 2019/20, and after being linked to some big clubs in Europe, came into 20/21 expected to prove he was worthy of the interest. Vallejo, meanwhile, was the latest weird signing Real Madrid have made
one would have expected him to dominant in Segunda B but he’s really struggled
losing his starting spot to Marvin and Peter early on
Both players have thankfully recovered their form with Gelabert being a mainstay in the team since the 3-1 win over Navalcarnero while Vallejo has started showing signs of life and bagged his first goal against Las Rozas last week
Putting the pieces together couldn’t have come at a better time for this side
The first phase of the Segunda B season is almost over and the final five games are
a real early challenge to this side’s title credentials
Poblense at home this coming Sunday is the last “easy” fixture Real have on their schedule
Internacional de Madrid and then host Atletico Madrid B
Their last game of the is against the current league leaders and between those four fixtures
they have a game in hand to play against second place Rayo Majadahonda
Table looks quite different from pre-derby. Miles off relegation worries and promotion firmly in the sights with six games left to play. pic.twitter.com/I2nZJ0F7ZJ
Castilla collected eight points from the 15 available in the reverse fixtures so, despite now favorites for that last play-off spot, its far from a done deal. Even if they fail to go all the way, finishing in the play-off spots would ensure Castilla of a place in next season’s Segunda B whereas anything outside that would mean they will have to fight for it
First team watch: Marvin Park and Sergio Arribas
Success is always two sided with the B-team
challenging in the third tier is brilliant
one would argue that Castilla’s real barometer for success is how many of its graduates get first team minutes
Last season was miserable for the reserves
one where Zidane has been rightfully criticized for his handling of the youth project
we’d see a complete U-turn in fortunes is as surprising as it is ironic
Three Castilla players have already made their first team debuts this year
Park and Arribas comfortably the most successful so far
Anyone who has watched Marvin play will automatically know why Zidane likes him so much
Though lacking his senior counterparts consistent end product
Marvin is born out of the Lucas Vazquez mould
he’s still finding his stride in the first team
The wingback role he found himself in against Getafe was interesting
no manager he has worked under so far has seen him as a full back
I felt he didn’t take too many risks and was helped by Getafe not pressing him too intensely
it was a solid showing from the winger and just win him Zidane’s trust in the long term
Arribas journey to the first team hasn’t been quite as obvious as Marvin’s has
despite being earmarked as one of the more talented players of this generation
the diminutive Arribas has taken some time to find his feet in professional football
He’s found himself muscled out of his favoured areas
hovering between the lines and just outside the box
Raul’s emphasis on width also left little room for a player like Arribas early on
His turn in form practically came in the space of a week where he made his European debut and saved Castilla’s blushes in the derby with a big cojones penalty in the 95th minute
Raul decided to deploy Arribas as a winger and he’s hasn’t looked back since
The way he glides off markers with the ball at his feet was peak Arribas last season and its a welcome sight to see him back to his best
Raul hasn’t restricted Arribas to the wing (a trademark of Solari’s wingers) giving Arribas license to roam
This below is my favorite example of Arribas utilizing that freedom
look at Blanco’s options at the start and keep a constant eye at number 22
The dribbling hasn’t quite followed Arribas into the first team just yet and like Marvin
he managed to pop up in the right places and was inches away from a goal against Getafe
playing the pre-assist to Marcelo on the Mendy goal
What all these debuts mean in the long run is anyone guess
Zidane has had little choice but to involve the Castilla squad
there is very little to suggest that once he has his preferred options back
Zidane will continue giving the likes of Arribas minutes
especially someone like Park who might be considering a move in the summer
any games with the first team is a valuable asset to his young playing CV

Siyagobhoza
With coach Steve Komphela's resurgent Moroka Swallows side taking shape
the club has quietly roped in a new signing who recently joined the club
the Dube Birds signed versatile Thabang Maponya
who became the latest player to join the Birds' nest
putting pen to paper on a two-year contract
Maponya has spent the better part of the last seven years abroad having moved in the 2016/17 season
where he moved around quite a bit in the lower leagues of that country
Grandson to the late retail mogul Richard Maponya
Maponya can play as a right back but can also do a job as a right winger
The 28-year-old has already featured twice for Swallows
although there has been no official announcement from the club about his arrival
the Siya crew understands he will form part of the Dobsonville-based side's roster for the next two years
