I arrive eight years ago, in July, and at the end of August it was already making its debut in the First Division with the fringe t-shirt. It is a legend Adrián Embarba in Vallecas, where to come back this sunday after having disputed with the Ray 196 official meetings, that they were no more because the Spanish, hasty to sense that permanence was slipping away, deposited in LaLiga the amount of his clause termination – ten million euros – in January 2020.
Today Embarba is indisputable and sometimes disputed, at least for a sector of the Perica hobby. Indisputable, because Vicente Moreno has lined him up without exception in the first 15 days League, in which he has played 1,231 minutes. Practically everything that was to his credit. Discussed, because so far he has not been able to release his scoring locker and has provided two assistsYes, both of them to Raúl de Tomás (another illustrious former Rayo player) in important matches: against Atlético de Madrid and against Real Madrid, in each corner.
The demand on Embarba is high due to its precedents. Because Last season, in the Second Division, he became the top professional assistant with 14 goal passes. Because he scored nine goals. Also because in his debut with Espanyol in Primera, during 18 games of the 2019-20 campaign, he was already able to score two goals and provide four assists on a team that was evicted. Statistics that he has maintained from the moment of his professional debut with Rayo, on August 30, 2013.
In general terms, their numbers with Rayo and Espanyol are not so different. In their 196 games with the strip, he scored a goal every 422 minutes and gave an assist every 331 ‘ (33 and 42, respectively, total). As a parakeet, scores a goal every 516 minutes and an assist every 284 ‘ (11 and 20, respectively) in 73 games. That is why it is a matter of finding its best version again. And maybe he will get it now that he returns to Vallecas, his comfort zone.
