Rdt and Embarba ask for your wishes for 2021: “Health and promotion”

If the boys and girls of Espanyol are surveyed so that they know who their favorite player is, surely Raúl de Tomás and Adrián Embarba will be the most voted. Their goals, dribbles and assists are helping the perico team to be the leader of LaLiga SmartBank, and today they are one of the most striking couples in Spanish football. “With commitment and work, everything is achieved”, they comment from the Sant Adrià press room in a virtual meeting with the little ones.

Without the possibility due to COVID-19 to carry out the usual signing day every Christmas or to go to hospitals, the club wanted to involve children in these festivities despite the inconveniences. RdT and Embarba have answered the curious questions and asked for your wishes for 2021. “Cheers,” Embarba started. “Health to all,” repeated RdT. And Embarba was released with the third wish: “On a sporting level, achieve the goal, the promotion.”

The questions came from the smaller partners, led by Patricia Coma, and also from international schools, such as Helsinki or Japan. RdT revealed that he chose the number eleven because “I liked it a lot” and that Embarba loves to wear the 2. 3: “It is an emblematic number, the one that Tamudo wore.”

The attackers also have another wish, which is to see people in the stands at RCDE Stadium again: “We are like crazy to see the children and the people in the stands again, we were also children and it's a shame. “ RdT was asked again about his goal from midfield (“I always look at the goalkeeper when I'm in that position. Sometimes he comes out, sometimes he doesn't”) and his ease with the header. Embarba believes that “the footballer is born, I was always glued to the ball”, while RdT added that “with commitment and work it improves.”

Both, in addition, promised to celebrate the next goal they achieve in LaLiga SmartBank by making a heart with their hand. A Chloe asked him, a parakeet girl. “We will do it together,” RdT commented.
