After sealing promotion to the First Division, Matías Vargas He was aware that he would have opportunities to prove his worth at this Espanyol. He is working on it, after playing at El Toralín he only has two games left, and his goal is to have a place in the project for next year. Against Ponferradina, the Argentine winger He was seen in a starting lineup again six months later and it can boast of being an active part of a winding block. He released his assists locker this season after placing a cross on Dimata's head in the second half to make it 1-3.
This week the Argentinian He has been one of the protagonists in the press room by highlighting that it has not been a wasteful year despite having only a few minutes and praising the technicians. Some compliments that have been reciprocal, because in the press conference this Saturday Vicente Moreno has insisted on the predisposition of the player and his work at all times and despite not being entering the line-ups.
To repeat against Tenerife his good game in El Tolarín
Vargas started for the last time on matchday 13 of the League, against Girona on November 20, 2020, and in Ponferrada he managed to retaliate. Apart from giving assistance from 1-3, He also participated in the 0-1 action because he put Pedrosa in flight and ended up inside the area trying to finish off the center of the side. The ball passed overhead and fell to a Dimata who did not miss. That goal seemed to give wings and confidence to a Vargas who, as the minutes passed, to more and in the penalty to Puado he considered that it could be a good opportunity to debut as a scorer this season. On television he gave the feeling that he asked the youth squad to let him throw the maximum penalty, but the answer was no. Puado received the penalty and he threw it (and scored). Yes indeed, Vargas was the first to arrive at his celebration and congratulate him on the 0-2. If the Argentine is demonstrating something this year beyond his passion for blue and white colors (his hair demonstrates this), it is that he is a great companion.
He had many more lights than shadows against Ponferradina and he needed to enjoy a full game. In addition, he had two good chances to score, but at 36 'he failed to shoot a free-kick well and, at 44', his shot from outside the area ran into the rival goal. He was also engaged in defense (he recovered six balls) and, although it was necessary that Ríos Reina hit the crossbar in the first half, he gave Pedrosa oxygen and space on the left wing. Without a doubt, Vargas signed a match that should show him the way to convince Vicente Moreno.
