One of the biggest concerns of footballers is living a season without minutes, relegated to the background. And this, precisely, is what Lluís López wants to avoid at all costs in the return of Espanyol to Primera. The 24-year-old center-back considers that he is in full readiness to gain a valuable gap in Vicente Moreno's team, for this he works, but currently is the central room after Cabrera, Sergi Gómez and Calero.
Lluís López's situation is not simple. By effort and sacrifice they will not be, but currently part at a disadvantage. It is in the shadow of Sergi Gómez, Cabrera and Calero and it remains to be seen, too, where Vicente Moreno places David López. If you bet on him for the medullary, Lluís López would keep his role as a central fourth intact. But If the coach considers David to play in the axis of the rear, Lluís would lose a position and he would be seen as the fifth center. The difficulty of counting with minutes would increase even more. Looking for a positive side, his versatility could also lead him to the wings, a position he already occupied in a few minutes last season.
Lluís López needs continuity and is willing to fight to get it at Espanyol, but has a contract until 2022 and until the season begins, you will not discover where Vicente Moreno leaves you. Since he made the jump to the first team parakeet, it is difficult for him to get a hole and it is that, without going any further, last year he played 18 matches in the Second Division. This year the level, in First, goes up and with Sergi Gómez in the squad more. Lluís López knows the gold category of Spanish football because, between the 2018-19 and 19-20 campaigns, he played ten games. The future will dictate sentence and it remains to be seen if he paints in blue and white or not.
