Jordi Wild hails Castellón and predicts promotion this season | OneFootball

Jordi Wild has hailed CD Castellón and predicted promotion this season on his returning episode of The Wild Project. The praise lands as Pablo Hernández’s side fly out of the blocks.

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, he raised the club while reuniting on camera with producer and Castellón native Nacho Amela. Around the table, including Albert Gil, chat turned to last season’s failed play-off push.

Castellón fell to Almería in the play-offs, drawing 1-1 at Castalia then losing 3-2 away.

Wild went beyond the jokes, labelling Castellón the top side right now and insisting this is their year to go up.

After five matches they lead LaLiga Hypermotion with 13 points from 15, four wins and one draw. They have scored seven and conceded two, buoyed by Saturday’s 2-1 comeback at Girona in Montilivi.

The remarks came in episode 381, published on 10 September after his summer break. His YouTube channel has around 7.32 million subscribers.

The show has long nodded to Castellón, with Amela gifting Wild a personalised shirt in 2022. In 2023 Wild echoed Amela by calling the club their team.
