Baby evokes Baby

Baby it's here. The franjirrojo winger has long returned to the pitch – on October 29, 2020 – but He needed filming to start being who he was. That explosive player, who combines power, speed and overflow, and is fearsome from set pieces. Just so, with a direct free from more than 30 meters, he led Rayo's comeback against Zaragoza. That great goal transcended our borders and the media of his country – the Portuguese A Ball Y Or Jogo, among others— they unraveled in praise to the extreme, reminiscent of his best times. The one that already appears.

And it is that Baby has earned his place. Has participated in the last five games in the Strip (Cartagena, Malaga, Ponferradina, Las Palmas and Zaragoza), being headline in the two most recent appointments. The Portuguese has taken the opportunity to settle in the eleven of Iraola to the detriment of Isi, already recovered from his positive for COVID. The winger accumulates 296 minutes in the league, spread over fourteen games, with two goals and one assist, although his fetish competition was the Copa del Rey. There he played 216 minutes, between the duels against Teruel, Haro and Elche, and scored a free-kick.

We encourage you to hit the ball, everything that is finishing plays is positive. If you don't try, these things don't happen. Having that hit many times he will go to the stands, but that quality must be exploited“, assured a week ago the rayista technician.

“I thought I would never play football again,” he confessed.. Hence, he celebrated his first goal of the course with a very special dedication, to Captain Alberto García and to Dr. Carlos Beceiro, their pillars in the most difficult moments of the process. Although that goal was an explosion of joy among all his teammates, happy that the Portuguese finally left the ghosts of the past behind. Now, his goal is to recover his best version, the view just before that fateful game against Ponfe. And it's getting closer and closer…
