New stage for the old Espanyol

In the football of COVID-19, that of improvidence, everything seems Kafkaesque. Also the first day of Espanyol's new life, that of Segunda, with the same actors who closed the relegation film three weeks before. There have been no revolutions, and only the change in the bench is the only variation. Vicente Moreno must lead the change from the bench while waiting for market movements.

In absolute privacy, as established by the sanitary protocol, the players have been parading through the Corachán Clinic to pass the pertinent tests. It has been possible to see Diego López, Javi López, Fernando Calero, Lluís López, Víctor Gómez, Pipa or Andrés Prieto. Between now and this Tuesday, everyone will take the exams.

Not only has there been activity in the central clinic, but the other group of players has come to Sant Adrià to carry out physical tests with the club's staff and the new members of Vicente Moreno's coaching staff. Of the 24 chips that the first team has, at least half will not be players from the next squad. But for that to occur, there must be several movements in the market, which does not close until October. A slow market. It is the reality of the new stage of the old Espanyol.
