Among the nebula that has appeared in the Spanish after a vulgar second round, which alienates those of Vicente Moreno from the goal of direct promotion if their results do not change, an opportunity emerges for the parakeet team to show the power of their squad. After this week's match against the Logroñés (Saturday, 9:00 p.m.), the Blue and Whites will lose due to international commitments to Javi Puado, Adrià Pedrosa, Keidi Bare and Matías Vargas. All of them could be absent from one to three games, depending on their return and the coach's decisions when managing the group.
“Anyone can play and do just as well or better. It's a shame not to be with the team, I wish there was a break and we couldn't miss anything. I fully trust everyone. We work every day for it. We will get the victories “, he commented Handful on the club's channels. The striker, who has become a indisputable for his goals and because of its sometimes intangible value (defensive work), it could be the most logical piece to cover. Moreno's first option is to place Nico Melamed on the side and act with Óscar Melendo as playmaker, two players who have played practically the same minutes this season. Alvaro Vadillo he will have more minutes after having tiptoed through two-thirds of the league championship.
Melamed can compensate for Puado's emptiness, especially because of his ease in scoring goals and his self-confidence between the lines, although defensively he will have to contribute more to reach the Barcelona's figures. Curiously, Pedrosa, the starting left-hander, will have to take over. There are two players fighting for that position. The logic is that of Dídac Vilà, who already acted against Oviedo when the Under-21 international was sanctioned. But his expulsion conditions him and Leandro Cabrera it appears with force, because it has already acted in that demarcation. With this, yes, Espanyol would lose depth on the side.
That decision will mark the Bare's substitute. With Cabrera on the left and the entrance to Fernando Calero in the center of defense, David López could accompany him or return to midfield as in Miranda de Ebro, although the result was not satisfactory. The Pol Lozano injury leaves the team without a positional midfielder to accompany Sergi darderSince Fran Mérida has not agreed with the Balearic Islands in the games played. A puzzle that Moreno will have to solve against Ponferradina, sure, and later Castellón and Fuenlabrada in case the coach finally decides not to have the internationals yet. An opportunity for the waiting room to empty after many crowded days.
