A tragic farewell that leaves imprint
The Asturian sports community is immersed in a deep pain due to the unexpected death of Joel Giraldo González, a promising footballer of only 20 years old. The tragedy occurred last Saturday in Cabranes, where a motorcycle accident ended his life. Joel collided with a motorhome on the AS-255 road, an incident that has left family and friends in a state of shock and penalty.
A young man with passion and talent
From his childhood, Joel was immersed in the world of football, a sport that marked his life. He joined Real Oviedo at a young age, where he spent twelve years defending the colors of the club. His dedication and talent made him gain the affection of his colleagues and coaches, who remember with nostalgia the moments lived with him. His father recalls with love how each goal celebrated, a passion that constantly accompanied him.
An unforgettable impact
During his time in the youth, Joel shone not only for his football skills, but also because of his charismatic personality. Paco Fernández, one of his coaches, described him as ‘a person who leaves brand’, emphasizing not only his talent, but also his kindness. “He was an extraordinary individual, loved by all,” he said with emotion.
Sports Community
After his time at the Youth Oviedo, Joel made the leap to the Club Deportivo Covadonga, where he made his debut in a second RFEF game. The club has expressed its pain through social media, sending condolences to their family and friends. Jonathan García, Vice President of the Covadonga, pointed out his humility and dedication, emphasizing that “he always put others before himself.”
A Full Life of Passions
In addition to football, Joel also shared a great hobby for motorcycles. Since last year, he had begun exploring routes with friends during the weekends. Unfortunately, it was in one of these excursions, when he rilled a Honda CBR600, where the tragic accident happened. The circumstances of the collision are still being investigated.
A promising future
In addition to his sports activities, Joel was in the process of completing his baccalaureate, with only two subjects to finish. He also worked with his father in a factory, with the aim of following a vocational training. ‘He was a hard -working boy,’ said his father, who is now struggling to accept the loss of his son.
A farewell to resonate forever
This Monday, at 18:45, the incineration of Joel will be held at the Los Arenales de Oviedo funeral home. His absence will make him feel not only in his family, but also in the world of Asturian football, which has lost exceptional talent. His memory will live between those who shared moments in the countryside, in classrooms and in everyday life.
