Sitting at a table, like a big family that celebrates Christmas in the pre-Covid era and can enjoy the company of their own. Vicente Moreno acts as the father of the family, presides over a dinner with David López, Sergi Gómez and Javi Puado, that perfect son-in-law as the coach himself baptized him the previous season. But the table does not only talk about the present of a men’s team that will return to training on the 26th, in the heart of Sant Esteve. The work is pressing, and this is none other than avoiding completing the first lap in Valencia without a victory at home.
But there are more protagonists at the table. There are the female players Anair Lomba and Cristina Baudet, who hope to forget this bitter 2021 and focus on achieving a return to the senior category after a historic decline. They have it uphill, but what better time than Christmas to renew their illusions. And, if not, ask Raúl Tamudo, another of the stars of the evening, author of impossible saves and unimaginable goals.
To “show that Espanyol” is a family, all the club’s teams were represented. From Dani Villahermosa, from the subsidiary, to Lucía Gil and Hugo Chacón (from the fry) or Edu Muñoz, from the RCDE Special. An integrating Espanyol who remembered his true driving force, the fans, what the surprise guest looked like, the player number 12, the fans, as Moreno baptized: “The magic of Christmas.”
