He greeted and hugged at the end of the game with some of his former teammates, perhaps friends, and they in turn looked at the stands and greeted, surely the relatives of the center-back. Espanyol-Sevilla this Sunday served as a thermometer to understand how in a short time Sergio Gomezafter enjoying three seasons in a Seville team with which he became champion of the Europa League, has been perfectly integrated into the parakeet squad.
“We know of the importance of being united”, proclaims Gómez on Espanyol TV, giving the fans a crucial role in the two consecutive draws against Barcelona (2-2) and Sevilla (1-1) at the RCDE Stadium. “In recent days they have shown us a lot, encouraging the whole game, with a good reception and a great tackle. This is the line to follow from here to the end of the season”, considers the center-back, who has only played in this League 2,104 minutes spread over 24 days –only Espanyol-Atlético was lost, due to suspension–, which is more than the sum of his last two courses as a sevillista: 722′ and 713′, respectivelyand 22 days in total.
“We wanted and needed the three points, we didn’t get them”, admits the defender. “Although the sensations were good. We stood up despite losing to the second best team in LaLiga. I appreciate the attitude of the team, that after the draw we even had a chance to win”, says Sergi Gómez, who is already looking ahead to next Sunday’s visit to Villarreal: “We have another very important game against a great rival, who is doing things very well. Once again, to war for the three points”, he finishes.
