A champion It can only be because of talent, tenacity and because it has offered the best of its repertoire. It is the case of Espanyol in the Second Division 2020-21, in which it swept away its hegemony in direct promotion positions during 38 of the 42 days, and especially in all the statistics that are related to the offensive facet. Like a gale, the parakeet has passed through the category.
The first element, in view, is the amount of goals, 71, by the 61 of Almería, the persecutor in this matter, and with Raúl de Tomás as Pichichi, with 23. It was also the team that targets scored from inside area (62), the one who made the most of head (15), what fewer minutes needed to score (one goal every 53'24 minutes) and the one that more assists distributedfifty).
Likewise, it was the set of Segunda with the highest percentage of effectiveness (transformed 16.12 percent of shots), the one that more kicked on target (186), in tosuch (549) and even to stick (22). The only section in which Espanyol was not the best was in goals from outside the area, which were nine, so it was one of Leganés and Ponferradina.
