The first three reinforcements, break the hex

For some sports directors, the players who are promoted from the subsidiary are considered transfers. They are right, because they usually represent the top of the squads, as is the case with Espanyol. Víctor Gómez, Adrià Pedrosa and Pol Lozano, who already participated last year and were in the dynamics of the first team, are now fully players with numbers lower than number 25.

Waiting to know the reconfiguration of the squad and whether all of them are kept or left on loan, they have a great challenge before them. Of the last youth players who have been promoted to the first team, none of them has managed to consolidate. That has happened in the last two seasons. In the 18-19 academic year, Pipa, Javi Puado and Álex López they enjoyed their first team number. The side did not make his debut and had to go on loan to Nàstic in January; the forward played 320 minutes and the midfielder barely 110. This season, also without minutes, they had to leave.

In the course that recently ended the prominence of the players with the number was similar. By playing three competitions, the coaches gave them more minutes, but Lluís López only had David gallego and left in January Tenerife after playing 300 minutes. Adrià Pedrosa, called to be the titular left-back, lived in the shadow of Didac Vilà although he played 1,086 minutes.

Victor Gomez has already played practically the same minutes this season as Javi López, while Campuzano It has been an alternative in attack, although it is the area in which the sports management will put more efforts in seeking reinforcements. Lozano is the one who has played the least, but perhaps the player with the greatest projection due to the area he occupies on the field and the casualties that can occur, with the departures of Marc Roca, Sergi Darder or David López.
