Loren finally smiles

Loren Morón scored more goals on Wednesday in the flooded field of Solares than since the pandemic began in March 2020. A figure that reflects the bad scoring moment and minutes through which the Andalusian forward has passed, explained in the few opportunities that Vicente Moreno has given him in a Espanyol that is finding better performance with Raúl de Tomás and an attack that, although it does not contribute excessive goals, has put the team among the best nine in the championship.

“I’m happy to add minutes, get sensations, I needed it. These three goals have been good for me, but the important thing is the collective thing “Loren explained after the 2-3 that gave Espanyol the green light to go to the round. It is the first hat-trick in Loren’s career, a fact that is not trivial. Since that beginning of the pandemic, the forward had only scored two goals with Betis in a year and a half, so the team trained by Manuel Pellegrini looked for a way out. And Espanyol appeared.

Loren arrived on loan until June 30 and started counting for the coach. It was a moment in which Espanyol played with two forwards. Loren made his debut against Mallorca on matchday 2 and had continuity in the second half until 5, but it did not materialize in a team that worked better with RdT as a reference. On matchday 9 against Cádiz he experienced a litmus test, playing right winger. He crashed a ball on the post but did not convince Moreno, who has barely given him minutes since then.

Despite this, Loren already sees the next match, where he hopes to extend his streak, even if it is from the bench and leaving as a shock: “We have a more complicated rival even than Real. Rayo at home is undefeated. But we will go with enthusiasm now for the three points “. For this he also urges the team to “correct the nuances of the last minutes against Solares.” Loren is clear that “that cannot be allowed.”
