The third time lucky. Or not. But Spanish wants it to be so and that, after two draws against important teams like Barça and the Sevilla arrive before him Villarreal which would be their first win in LaLiga so far in 2022. The Blue and Whites visit The ceramic this Sunday (2:00 p.m.) with the aim of hitting the table and with the intention of satisfying the almost 1,500 parakeet fans who will accompany the teams from the stands. But there will be a Villarreal that, after the draw against the Juventus in the first leg of the round of 16 Champions League He has among his intentions to continue accumulating points to ensure his presence in Europe next season.
The ‘yellow submarine’ seems to have definitively emerged after a somewhat hesitant start to the course and is now sailing through what seems to be its best moment of the season. Paradoxically, it coincides with the absence of its star Gerard Morenowho will be absent for this match against ‘his’ Espanyol due to injury, as will Rubén Peña, Coquelin and Paco Alcácer. Yes, there will be, on the contrary, a Danjuma of sweet that in the last day signed a ‘hat-trick’ in Granada.
On the other hand, and although they are available for Unai Emeryfootballers like Capoue, Alberto Moreno o Chukwueze they would drag different inconveniences or simple accumulation of game minutes that would put their competition in check or, at least, their inclusion in the starting ‘eleven’.
As for the Spanishreturns Nico Melamed after serving a sanction and the only three casualties are those of Aleix Vidal, David Lopez and Manu Morlanes. The first for having seen the fifth yellow against Sevilla, the second due to injury, and the third due to suspension and injury at the same time.
With this, an ‘eleven’ parakeet is expected in which Diego Lopez will be under the sticks and the defense will be formed from right to left by Oscar Gil, Sergi Gomez, Cabrera and Pedrosa. From there, the center of the field would be for Keidi Bare, Yangel Herrera and Sergi Darder unless Óscar Melendo could leave out the Venezuelan, the bands to Vilenha and Javi Puadoand in attack will be the top scorer (13 in LaLiga) and star of the team Raul De Tomas.
In the blue and white memory is the fact that the last time the Spanish stepped on the green The ceramic he returned home with the three points in his bag. It was not enough to avoid relegation, but it was worth it for Espanyolismo to be happy. This Sunday he hopes to take another.
