The “inexplicable” Rubén Sánchez

It would be advantageous to attribute the Rubén Sánchez’s first start with Espanyol, this Saturday against Valencia, only for the change of coach. From Vicente Moreno to Luis Blanco, his coach in the subsidiary. The absences of Oscar Gil due to injury and Aleix Vidal by penalty they would surely have induced him to play from the start. But the truth is that he had not done it before, despite his seven callsand that signed his great afternoon with a goal assist. To Raul de Tomas. In the only target of the parakeets.

“Is he dream debutand I’m happy to have been able to help the team with an assist”, the right-back naturally recognizes, on Espanyol’s channels, once they played 90 minutes in which he lavished himself in attack, with several centers it is included one shot who went away, in which made 26 of 31 passes and what did he do back three clearances and two recoveries. “Is a unexplained feelingI have no words. I am very happy to debut here with my people. This is the way, it only remains to follow”, he says.

“The fans are key, how they support us. From the outside you can already see that it is incredible to be down there, but the feeling when you are there is inexplicable”, maintains Rubén, who at the RCDE Stadium had only played one minute, the his debut on October 18 against Cádizand that later he had had brief opportunities in Balaídos (16 minutes) and last Wednesday in Mendizorroza (41 minutes), in what would be Vicente Moreno’s last game on the perico bench.

“He caught me, He told me not to get nervous, to play as I know, and that’s how I think I did it”, narrates Rubén Sánchez about Luis Blanco, who in turn was also making his debut on the first team bench. And they were not the only novelties, since with 22 minutes remaining in the game against Valencia, the alternative came to another from the class of 2001, Daniel Villahermosaa promising midfielder who came in for Fran Mérida, who gave seven passes and entered three duels. But above all, you have a great projection. Future. What Espanyol needs.
