An Andalusian preseason

Espanyol already has a fully defined preseason after announcing its 12-day stay in Marbella (from August 25 to September 5) and the four friendlies that join this Saturday against Huesca in the Sports City of Sant Adrià (Esport3, 19:30). Vicente Moreno, who assumes that the configuration of the squad will be gradual, will have room to work and see the squad in action before making the final decisions.

Espanyol's preseason will take place entirely in Andalusia, at the Marbella Professional Football Center, a high-performance center with several football fields where several teams can train at the same time. Espanyol will arrive on Tuesday 25 and on the 27th they will have the first match, against Córdoba (19:00), who plays in Second B and remained in a position to dispute the promotion playoff. Isaac Becerra and Edu Frias, defended the goal last year. Both were trained at Espanyol. However, this meeting is in the air. Cordoba Day has announced that the Andalusian team does not want to play due to COVID-19.

The next match will be played on Sunday 30 against Cádiz (19: 00/20: 00), recently promoted and has Álex Fernández, a former parakeet, as a star. He was the top scorer for the yellow club last year and one of its icons. Then on Wednesday 2, Málaga (19:00) will cross the road, one of the rivals for the promotion that Vicente Moreno's team will have. The morbidity of the meeting will mainly be that of Keidi Bare, intended by Espanyol in the absence of closing the negotiation, a tug of war that can be closed right now, face to face, in the perica stay in Marbella. Logic indicates that that meeting already he will play it with Espanyol. Another former parakeet, Raúl Baena, is negotiating his return to Malaga.

The last of the games will be against Almería precisely on the 5th at 10:00. Then the expedition will return to Barcelona. The Andalusians lost in the semifinals of the promotion playoff against Girona, so they will also be another of the direct rivals to finish in the top two of the LaLiga SmartBank. All matches will be broadcast by Esport3.
