Staying afloat There were parties in the streets. Draisey was hailed by the fans. The festivities went on long into the night. Prefab were safe. With three games to go, prefab found themselves in 15th place, the top of the relegation zone. with two sides already down, and them three points behind the team above with a higher goal difference, fans were 'nervously optimistic'. But Draisey was confident. The fixtures had been kind to them. After beating the side above them, they leapfrogged into the relative safety of 14th. with the bottom side visiting Prefabricate next, and the two teams in the relegation zone below them playing each other, Draisey knew that if his side won, he would be a hugely strong position. Whats more, if the two teams below him drew, they would both be relegated and he would be safe! You wont belive what happened. Prefab kept up their end of the deal, running out comfortable three nil winners of relegated Snagov, and the crowd eagerly awaited news from the other game. It was announced over the intercom. With two minutes to go, Dunaria had gone one nil up! it looked like it would go all the way to the last day, with prefab having a difficult away date with Brazi, the overacheivers of the season. But then, just as that was announced, the scoreline changed. Prefabricate held its proverbial breath..... 1-1! CS Otopeni had done nothing to save themselves, but that goal would condemn Dunaria to relegation, and save Prefab! they even drew the final game at Brazi after being 3-0 down at half time! Draisey didnt spend long before sending his players on a well deserved holiday, not withut taking one himself. But work was not over. The club was still almost 500,000 pounds in debt, he was carrying some players that he wanted rid of and he had transfer targets to talk to. All that accompanied by the new intake of youth players and no youth team added up to a stressfull summer for him. |
