Svensson, the tenth passenger

The record-breaking Espanyol, which is leading in a tight SmartBank League with three teams at the helm and which continues to pass rounds in the Cup, had a new scorer against Burgos. It is the tenth of the year, another passenger on a plane in which Raúl de Tomás travels in first class, with 12 goals, top scorer in the category. The target of Max Svensson, player of the subsidiary, is good news to show that the team does not depend only on the goals of the Madrilenian.

“I'm happy for the minutes, for the team's work and for being able to close the game with my goal,” said the son of the legendary handball goalkeeper Thomas Svensson. “Vadillo combed it, I found it in the one for one and I managed to put it in. I dedicate it to my friends and family. I have been working a lot and ending up debuting and scoring gives me a lot of happiness, joy and knowing that I have done well “, argued the 19-year-old forward who ends his contract in June.

In the list of scorers of the course, and apart from RdT with its 12 goals, it is followed Adrian Embarba, with less prominence in recent weeks, who has scored five. Between them they add 17, more than 50% of the 33 official goals that Espanyol has scored this season. Absent in the Cup, Espanyol begins to have other scorers who have been decisive, such as Wu lei, which adds up to three, or Javi puado, which accumulates four. Sergi Darder with three, all in the League, is included in this second line of scorers, in which the young Nico Melamed stands out, with two, again one of the most prominent also in El Plantío.

Below them, Óscar Melendo, Fran Mérida and Óscar Gil add one each, like Svensson, while the low contribution to set pieces from players like Leandro Cabrera, David López or Fernando Calero, who at the moment have not found a goal in this type of action. Víctor Campuzano, Álvaro Vadillo or Matías Vargas are other attacking players without having scored.
