“That is a show, a pride and a pleasure“, he claimed David Gallegovisibly excited, on June 9, 2019 on a platform in the Town Hall Square of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia. He had just been appointed coach of Espanyolonly two days before, and the club took advantage of the celebration of the Gathering of Supporters Clubs, its biggest social party, to present it in society. For him to receive a mass bath and offered a shot of self-esteem. Three years later, an outrage, the Aplec returns. Y Espanyol, five coaches later, have no tenant on their bench.
As if three centuries had passed instead of three years, the damn pandemic stopped the Aplecs, which could not be resumed until this Sunday, when more than 400 fans, more than 70 supporters clubs, land in the town of Aviàunder the organization of Pericos del Berguedà in the baptized as Apple of Nature. The thirtieth edition. With David Garcia, Copa del Rey champion and UEFA runner-up, as town crier. And with the CEO, Mao Yeas the highest representation of a club that he aspired to arrive at the appointment with exciting news, with proper names, starting with the coach. But that you should keep your expectations high, with Diego Martinez and other candidates, at least a few more days except for a major surprise.
“I am a parakeet, I am one of yours, and we are not going to fail them“, promised three years ago a David Gallego who assumed the reins of a Espanyol that had just entered Europe and that he was oblivious to the fateful outcome both of his time as coach of the first team and of the club itself. With descent and ascent. With Pablo Machin, Abelardo Fernandez, Francisco Joaquin Perez Rufete and a Vincent Moreno that, despite having directed the parakeets for two almost complete seasons, he was unable to enjoy this great event of the rocks, due to health reasons. And with Louis Whiteas a last resort.
Today the entity faces a new stage, waiting for all those capital decisions that make up a staff that aspires to something more than permanence. But with a lot of uncertainty, for now. So, undoubtedly and after three years of absence, yes there will be a reason for celebration, and it will be none other than having been able to resume this massive tradition. The Gathering.
