Page "Real Oviedo" Paragraph 3

Founded in 1926 after a merge with Stadium Ovetense, Oviedo first reached La Liga seven years later.

Between 1933 – 36, the team gained success because of their revolutionary approach to football tactics.

Their attacking quartet of Emilín, Galé, Herrerita and Isidro Lángara ( all represented Spain in this period ), as well as Casuco and Ricardo Gallart modernised the game with their pace and running off the ball tied with sharp passing and one-touch football, played in a style 30 / 40 years before its time, being dubbed Delanteras Eléctricas (" The electric forwards "); all this was connected with a rigid training and fitness regime started by a former manager of the club, English Fred Pentland.
