“I have suffered playing“, it affirmed Sergi darder at the end of Espanyol-Leganés. No one would tell, observing their performance, their devilish racing, their leadership skills in the organization of attacks, defense aids and, especially last Sunday, his goal from more than 40 meters when only 25 seconds had elapsed party. “I threw angrily.

Indisputable for Vicente Moreno, has participated in all the days except in the Anxo Carro, in February, simply because he was sanctioned.
