will again have Espanyol to reinforce on the fly the rushes he receives for his Right Lane. A weakness that drags since the beginning of the season and that is accentuated before powerful rivals, as is the case of a Real Madrid which the parakeets visit in the Bernabeu. predictably, except for a miracle, without Óscar Gil. and with a Aleix Vidal what he scored against the whites in the first round and also in Chamartínbut with another shirt.

“Óscar is not available, at the most he will be ready in two weeks“, specified Vincent Moreno, his coach, on Wednesday of last week before facing Rayo Vallecano. That Thursday afternoon the starter in the right lane was Aleix Vidal. The same one who had replaced Gil when he was injured, in the half part of Atlético de Madrid-Espanyol (2-1) at the Wanda Metropolitano. Also who replaced it in the 2-2 against Barcelona, or in the 1-0 victory against Real Sociedad, both in Cornellà. And in the Final minutes of Real Madrid’s visit to the RCDE Stadium (2-1), where he even made that goal.
Espanyol decreases in general terms when Óscar Gil is not there, because in its 22 games in this League the team has added 28 points, 42.2 percent of the possible, while without his help, he has only achieved 11, 33.3 percent.
But, above all, the absence of the man from Elche could mean on this occasion a drawing similar to the one Moreno used recently against Atlético by Diego Simeone, with five defenseswhich was to him until the controversial final minutes. Or the 4-1-4-1 with a pivot becoming central in the defensive phase, which he used months ago at the Camp Nou (1-0), cracked only by a dubious penalty. All this, sin Keidi Bareanother low more than sensitive.
