Espanyol reaches the equator

As if it were a kind of marathon, but instead of 42 kilometers it was located in 40 points the goal. This is how from the club, beyond the message from game to game, this season is contemplated. At least the first goal to beat before setting out -if everything goes fine- others more ambitious in the return to First. With this mentality, which emanates from the sports area and reaches players and coaching staff, Espanyol has just reached the equator.

The suffered Sunday’s win against Real Sociedad (1-0) has caused parakeets to accumulate 20 points in the locker after the fifteenth day, half of those estimated to be may be worth the stay in the course of the return to First. “Reaching those digits is even overcoming a psychological barrier“, slides from the entity, with the conviction that it can help from the mental point of view to a staff already aware. And winner, above all at the RCDE Stadium, where he has collected up to 17 of those 20 points. Only seven have escaped at home to those of Vicente Moreno, with a single defeat, that of Atlético de Madrid (1-2), for which they had to wait until minute 99.

“It is a very important victory, against a very hard-working team, which was recently leader of LaLiga. There are three very important points“he recognized this Sunday Javi Puado, one of the players who embodies the good news of Espanyol, increasingly intoned after his recovery. Like Yangel Herrera, author of the winning goal and symbol that the team should depend less on that facet of Raúl de Tomás.

Espanyol now projects 50 points at the end of the season, a figure that would place it far from the decline and relatively close to Europe. In the Top-10, which should perhaps be the second objective of the campaign. In any case, it is light years away from its uLast experience in Primera, which closed with 25 points, of which at this point there were only nine, and only one at home. Past times. Today the parakeet team gives off a different mentality, it feeds on its fans, and vice versa, and has learned to suffer and win.
