  The tremendous fight for permanence: triple tie in the tail
  

Ral de Toms (Madrid, October 17, 1994) He has scored in each and every one of the games he has played with Espanyol since joining the parakeet discipline in the last winter market. At the moment, add five goals, four in the League (Villarreal, Athletic, Granada and Mallorca), Y one in the Copa del Rey, in a match in which the victim was the San Sebastin de los Reyes in which his brother Rubn plays. His many records are not celebrated only in the blue and white club – which of course he sees closer, and tangible, the salvation since he arrived. Benfica is also delighted. In this case because the Lisbon group enter 500,000 of the up to two million euros in variables which can be added to the 20 million already paid for their transfer.

Although it was formed in the lower categories of Real Madrid, failed to gain a place in the ranks of the Madrid team. With the first team, I only played one game in the Copa del Rey. I played 14 minutes in what is now his stadium against the Cornell, October 29, 2014, in a duel that ended in white victory 1-4. His first two assignments, at Crdoba and ValladolidThey were not as good as I would have expected. The third, however, with the Vallecano Ray As a destination, it was very different. There, finally, he found the continuity he needed so much. His first season will end with 24 goals in 32 games played, achieving promotion.

His much-desired premiere in First Division was bittersweet. Real Madrid renewed its contract in August 2018, but I gave it back to Lightning with which I got 14 goals in 33 games played in the lite. The Vallecas team will end up losing the category, but Benfica paid attention to his good qualities and bet strong to take him to Portugal, after paying 20 million euros to the club he chairs Florentino Prez To get your services. The experience, again, was not all the positive I expected. In the league he barely had minutes and failed to see the door in the seven disput games. Nor did he mark in the Super Cup, but he managed to do it in the League Cup, the Portuguese Cup and the Champions League.

That is why, perhaps, he did not think twice when the parakeet set knocked on his door to make him his great reference in attack. S the responsibility I will have, and I accept it. In these months in Portugal I have not been well, I lost things of my essence, but since I started conversations with Espanyol, I began to recover my hope and desire. I know I'm going to have a lot of weight in this team, and I don't mind assuming it, the forward stressed the day of his official presentation as a new blue and white player, in a press conference in which he left a stroke of that strong character that, at times, can even be mistaken for haughtiness. While answering a question, I asked the author of it to keep looking at him. According to seal, so as not to get lost in your response.

It is true that his public image, always perfectly gummed, can greatly encourage that sensation. Also, the fact that he decided to wear his initials on his shirt, RDT, instead of its name. A somewhat strange decision, but not unique in the world of football. The former French defender Julien Escud, for example, opted to wear the acronym SQD in Seville, practically his last name translated into a mobile message. Beyond this and other eccentricities, what matters most to Espanyol is that it responds where it matters: the pitch. I would like to be a great character in this story, because I think it's going to get, said. It is on its way.
