Raúl de Tomás has no limits

“Who see it every day we know what it is capable of“, they underline from the dressing room of a Espanyol that, even so, contemplated ojiplático the huge goal of Raúl de Tomás. “We saw how Darder advanced meters and was alone, and almost all of us yelled at him to pass it“, explained David López, who followed the play from the beginning. A rebound almost from the baseline that reached the striker in the center circle, who punctured it, dodged Nikola Maras with a hat, looked at a Giorgi Makaridze advanced and projected a whiplash that, from 53.5 meters and without bouncing, slipped into the goal of a still astonished Almería.

It is, not only because of the context – the victory places the parrots in the lead of Second just before Christmas – of the Most precious goal that the 11 long years of the Espanyol stadium have attended, with the anecdote that It was manufactured in Cornellà and entered El Prat –Two weeks before the ball would have violated the municipal confinement–, and the certainty that it equals and surely even surpasses that other that remains in the collective imagination of the Blue and Whites, noted in the Olympic Stadium by Roger García on October 20, 2002. So, from 54 meters and with a powerful blow, beat the midfielder to Recreativo de Huelva goalkeeper and today famous doctor, César Quesada.

“That was also wonderful, but simpler”, concede those who lived it from the club, and that also meant a crucial victory, the first for Ramon Moya after the dismissal of Juande Ramos at Espanyol, as almost always, in serious trouble . But in First.

Where is the roof of Raúl de Tomás. It is the question that Espanyolism is now asking itself, that In a space of eight days he has attended an impressive free-kick by the entire squad in Las Gaunas that seemed insurmountable and a directly from Martian goal. But is that Vicente Moreno is clear that the striker “has the capacity to go even higher”. He encourages himself: “The best goal of my career? Possibly yes, because I have scored more beautiful ones but this may be the most difficult because of the distance.” And what is more important, the numbers also support it.

Say goodbye to Tomás 2020 with 12 goals since the season began, a stratospheric balance that he had not achieved in his entire career, since he debuted in Second B with the Real Madrid C (six got in the 2012-13 season), but not with the Castile (six was also its top), in the Cordova (one, and penalty) or in the Valladolid (four).

Not even with Rayo Vallecano had he fired a year with such success (four were the maximum, in the 2017-18 campaign). And just a year ago, he closed 2019 having scored a lonely goal with Benfica, yes, in the Champions League. The next thing would be to land at Espanyol, where at the gates of the winter market he is still happy, committed and giving in Segunda a prodigious quality. The field is literally small. The silver category, too.
