The week at the end of May and beginning of June will forever be etched in the memory of the Jordán Moreno family, from Palafrugell. Joan Jordan Moreno he lifted the Europa League title with Sevilla four days before his cousins, the brothers Aitor and Robert Bosch Morenoreach thehistoric rise to Primera Catalana with Begur.
Jordán was born in Regencós, but he settled in Palafrugell with his family when he was young and he has friends there. The Boschs have been from Palafrugell all their lives. they are maternal cousins and the ball has always been linked to the family from Baixemporda. Robert Bosch is 21 years old, and Joan Jordán and Aitor Bosch are 28 and a month apart. “In addition to being cousins, we are friends. Whenever I can I go to see him in Seville and when he comes here in the summer we spend it together», says Aitor Bosch. The two of them played together in the beginnings of football, in the youth academy of Palafrugell and Atlético Bisbalenc. Their soccer paths diverged in cadets when Jordán signed for Gironès-Sàbat and then he went through Poblense before finishing his training at Espanyol. In youth they were about to meet again, as rivals, when Aitor Bosch was the goalkeeper of Girona in the second year of juniors. But the progression of the Espanyol midfielder meant that he was promoted to youth A and they could not face each other.
However, Jordán and Aitor Bosch have remained closely linked. Without going any further, in the week that Begur was playing for promotion to the Primera Catalana, Aitor Bosch experienced live the final Sevilla-Roma a Budapest thanks to the tickets obtained by the former Eibar and Valladolid player. The goalkeeper from Baixemporda was one of the souls who in the stands pushed the Mendilibar team to raise the seventeen Europa League. Aitor Bosch and Jordán met after the game in the Sevilla concentration hotel to celebrate the success: “I experienced the Sevilla celebration from the inside. I’m from Barça and it was funny to see Rakitic as one more”, he remembers.
The culmination in Roses
This was the second Europa League trophy that Jordán lifts in four years at the Andalusian club: “It has been a very difficult season, Sevilla has had a complicated situation in the league. He has suffered a lot, he was suffering from an Achilles tendon injury and being able to have minutes in the final was a prize”, adds Aitor Bosch. The final was on Wednesday and Begur’s goalkeeper – who has been with the team for four years – ended his perfect week on Sunday, with promotion to Primera Catalana at the Roses field. He celebrated it with his brother Robert, a midfielder who has been with the team for two seasons and has spent time in the Palafrugell, Bisbalenc, Palamós and Llagostera youth teams. “Coincident with my brother is very special, I would never have thought of it, since we have been together for eight years”, emphasizes Aitor.
The team that trains Damià Sagué he fished the fourth promotion ticket with Roses, Tossa de Mar and Blanes. “We have a very powerful and very young team, with an average age of 23-24. As the days went by we believed it more and more, we made many comebacks at the end”, highlights the goalkeeper from Palafrugell, who remembers that “five years ago Begur was at the bottom of Tercera Catalana and on the verge of disappearing”.
Jordán’s brother joins the party with Palafrugell… as manager
The Jordán Moreno’s fantastic week was completed by Àlex, brother of Joan Jordán, who saw Palafrugell move up to Segona Catalana for compensation. Àlex Jordan is a member of the board of directors of the white-and-black club, but until last season he was still playing with the first team. It is the circumstance that Palafrugell went up to Segona in advance due to the promotion… of Begur. The fact that the people from Begur went up to First left a vacant place in Second, which was occupied by the people from Palafrugell, who at that time had ensured that they were one of the best second Catalans in the category.
Palafrugell finished runner-up in group 16 of Tercera Catalana after a head-to-head clash with Bellcaire d’Empordà, champions in the last league match. Those from Pitu Batlle and those from Sepu have finished with the same 88 points and with the Bellcairns champions by goal average.
Aitor Bosch, former Palafrugell player, explains that Palafrugell’s promotion “has made me very excited. The day we went up, I called their president, Edu Puig, to tell him that they had also gone up. In Palafrugell and Begur we are all friends; there is no high school in Begur and everyone goes to the one in Palafrugell». The relationship is so close that, curiously, this weekend both teams will meet in Salou to celebrate the two promotions.
