Absent the week before due to some inconvenience, Raúl de Tomás has many options to return to the squad this afternoon, when the coach makes public the players who will travel to Castellón. This is what they expect at Espanyol, who close any debate about their fit in the team: “I have no debates. De Tomás is a great player and I'm happy to enjoy it.. No two players are alike. There are situations in the field that change with one and with another, it is normal. But things are done well. De Tomás is a great player and a fantastic uncle. It's fine. You have options to enter the list. It may start up or not. “
Vicente Moreno left the door open for the Madrilenian to be a substitute (“when things go well it is easier to give continuity to the team”), although he sees clearly that “he can start and surely have minutes in the second half.” Settle the debates about his impact on the team after the great match against Logroñés, although the Valencian acknowledges that “There are players who are seen with more impact. RdT would have an impact on any team because of their quality. We do not live off a player. We have to look for performance and justice in the line-ups. We are happy. It is very important and it will continue to be so.”
With the losses of Adrià Pedrosa, Javi Puado, Matías Vargas and Keidi Bare due to the calls with the national teams, Moreno left that of David López in the air (“we have to wait”) and recognizes that “I have less to choose from, it will be easier do the alignment “. So that these situations do not occur, the technician considers that it is appropriate for the First and Second calendar to be identical: “The Second Division should stop. Any team has internationals. The First stops for that and in the Second it should be the same. We all pay and we should have them.”

Moreno doesn't want to hear about roller coasters
After breaking the draw streak last day with a solvent victory against Logroñés, the Parakeet team wants to take advantage of its more favorable calendar to be the leader again. That is what would lead, albeit momentarily, to the three points against Castellón. The set of Vicente Moreno is not for obsessions, according to the coach: “What matters to me is winning. Everything that comes if we win will be good.”
After dispensing with Óscar Cano, the coach who led them to Second A the previous year, Castellón has become a rockier team in defense. Moreno highlighted it among other virtues: “We play against a team that seems to give us more facilities than it really will. It comes from a good dynamic, they have been very close to winning. They have difficulty.”
And it was argued by the coach, who recognizes that at Espanyol there has not been a roller coaster of emotions, but that the same line has always been followed despite winning or losing. About Castellón, he commented that “It's not a matter of making comparisons, because they were already doing good things. There may be an improvement in results, they are competing, they want to have few errors, they leave few spaces, they are aggressive. They are important in the Second Division. They have good players, like Marc Mateu, who it is after Embarba the one that has the most impact in the category. I know the coach. “
