The fourth train of Embarba

The history of Adrián Embarba in the First Division is like that of the myth of Sisyphus. No matter how much he climbed the mountain, he always ended up at his feet again, repeating the effort one campaign after another. For the winger, this will be his sixth season in Primera, his fourth stage, after three descents (two with Rayo Vallecano and one with Espanyol). And he hopes that it will be the most fruitful, that of its consolidation. Ambitious Embarba, who only lacked success against Osasuna to debut as a scorer.

“I am happy with the numbers I did last year, I want to match or improve them. I want to feel important again.. I have ambition for this season, “he commented in his press conference. Those figures would be a heroism in the First Division, with his nine goals and 14 assists, he has never completed such a record before in his previous courses.” My feelings are good, also the of the team. We showed it in Pamplona “.

Embarba has played 108 games in Primera in which he has scored 12 goals and 17 assists, more human numbers than those he reaps in Second, with 31 goals and 42 goals, an outrage. A challenge that the player faces with courage and without fear upon the arrival of Aleix Vidal, who comes to dispute his place: “He comes to add and the competition is good for the team and also for the club.”

Between “ambition” and the desire to play at Cornellà

Embarba doesn't want to talk about initial goals. Salvation is not a challenge for the blue and white player, who advocates a brave Espanyol like the one last year and that he always go all out. “Espanyol is First Class, and must be brave. We have to think of ourselves and grow from humility but being ambitious. You have to settle in the category. “An example is the visit of Villarreal. Embarba is clear:” We have nothing to envy them. “

Saturday's meeting will be special. 538 days later the public is back at the RCDE Stadium. The former Rayo player, Espanyol captain, considers that “I missed him. Feeling the heat, the atmosphere … It was already seen that people were whistling in Pamplona, ​​and that motivates. I am looking forward to it. Those who come will be noticed. They are Espanyol, I feel loved and I hope that moment arrives “.
