In 10 matches they haven’t conceded a goal, but they’re not first in the standings: Burgos’ paradox

In today’s football, not conceding a goal is much more complicated and it is very difficult to achieve an unbeaten record for goalkeepers. But there is one team in Spain that has yet to concede a goal: it’s Burgos.

One of the biggest differences between football today and football twenty or thirty years ago is that all teams try to play it. This means a greater propensity for attacking football by anyone and a greater number of goals by each team. And in a nutshell it also means that it is impossible or nearly impossible to win the invincibility records of goalkeepers. But there is always an exception that is the rule and that comes directly from Spain.

The history of football had a simple evolution. In football in the past there was an expression that was the most popular: admiration. Today that too has disappeared. Once upon a time, speculated the so-called ‘little ones’, who looked for 0-0, which sometimes they even brought home. Thus, the ‘famous’ spot was sought after. Or, at best, these teams lost without scoring. Now this is no longer the case. Football has changed, nobody admires you anymore and you play to score. Because of this, goalkeepers’ main inventions seem almost impossible to beat. Sebastiano Rossi exceeded 900 minutes in the 1993-1994 season, while Buffon reached an altitude of 973.

In Europe, however, there is a team that has shown that it is possible not to concede goals. A team that is breaking records and rewriting history, but that nevertheless makes a great effort to score goals. The perfect version of the most classic latch. He would certainly be proud of it Aníbal Fossi, great Italian footballer and coach famous also for being a 0-0 theorist as an ideal result.

Inside Second division (Spanish Serie B) there is a team that has yet to concede a goal: it is Burgos, which, however, is not first in the standings, but even third. A hyper defensive formation makes the Burgos coach happy, who can’t win so easily. But that’s secondary at the moment. The ironclad defense of Castilian society is record.

18 points for the Burgos, one less than Alvaes, two less than Las Palmas. Third place after ten days. A great start for this team that has not conceded a single goal in the championship. Ten games and ten clean sheets. Crazy. But they only scored six goals, three last season.

At the moment the number one of the Hijos de Frio is undefeated and looking for a record to write in stone, but also the offensive department for opposite reasons is about to write history. Just six goals in ten games. The balance is 4 wins (3 by 1-0), 6 draws and 0 losses. Burgos dream big of a phenomenal defense, but they also dream of the next opponents who want to be the first to break the goalkeeper Dear.
