On May 8, 2021, it certified the Spanish his return to First Division. Without an audience, in La Romareda, and with bland and almost biscotteant goalless draw against Real Zaragoza. Just one year later, the parakeets have a definitive opportunity to achieve mathematical permanenceat home, with a capacity that being able to attend in many cases turns its back on its team, and before an Osasuna that seems to smell blood every time he goes to the RCDE Stadium (follow the match live on AS.com).
They sentenced the rojillos in some way to machine in his previous visit, because of the disorder that caused him that 2-4 ended up exploding in the press room, and now put a worn out Vicente Moreno to the test for three consecutive losses, for his hookup with Raúl de Tomás on the bench at the Bernabéu and for a career that did not begin a year ago, not even two years ago with the signing of the coach, but rather with relegation itself. Hence the scent once again of plebiscite against him, Rufete, Chen Yansheng and everything that sounds like power.
Another old acquaintance from last season in Segunda, Ante Budimirpersonifies the greatest of the incentives with which he arrives an Osasuna already very saved and that the numbers will hardly give to finish in Europe. The Croatian, who a month and a half ago had only two goals, has starred in the best historical streak of the rojillo club and of this League for any First Division player, since chains six days scoring. Neither Benzema nor RdT himself, who stayed at four.
While Osasuna arrives in fullwith the presumed novelty by Ruben Garcia on the way back to a 4-1-4-1 that relegates to the drawer the defense of five arranged by Arrasate against Elche, in Espanyol still Óscar Gil has not recovered, and the participation of an Adrià Pedrosa is doubtful who already missed the visit to Real Madrid. Either Diego Lopez He trained on Friday, in the only weekly space open to the press, but his absence could be due to personal reasons.
A year later, without cake or candles, Espanyol will try to close that circle of promotion with its consolidation in First. A circle that, paradoxically, has as many vertices as reproaches have emerged in this final stretch of the season and doubts and enigmas generates the future closest to the club.
