Espanyol gave its fans a hard fought comeback against Amorebieta (3-2) in the first home game with an audience in Segona in 29 years. The white-and-blues, who could not have the support of their people in the fifth relegation due to the pandemic, and in the second day of this year due to the sanction for the incidents in the derby last year, have lifted the 0 -2 with which they went to the break with a meritorious second half. Luis García’s team has been able to check the two realities that can be encountered this season: being a vulnerable team if they don’t put their batteries in and another relentless one when they match the intensity of the opponent and add all the talent they have .
L’Amorebieta, who last season played in the Primera Federación, showed in the first half that Espanyol’s sports management still has some work to do: the departures of Darder and Montes left a handful of millions in the club’s accounts, but Garagarza would do well to find them a relief in the free agent market. Espanyol urgently needs a brain in midfield and, if possible, also an expeditious central.
In the first half, Luis García’s team did not have clarity at the start of the game because Lozano and Bare, embedded in the base, were not able to overcome the orderly pressure of the visitors. With too slow movements, little daring and lack of movement between the lines, Espanyol has abused too vertical and hasty passes to be able to progress to the opponent’s field. Of course, he managed to score in the first play, which ended with a shot between the three posts, but Jofre’s goal did not go on the scoreboard because, in Puado’s previous shot, the striker was offside.
The slap that Espanyol received in this action was double, because they lost the author of the cross, Brian Oliván, due to injury. His absence has allowed the Stage Front Stadium to discover one of the new faces of this season, a Ramon Ramos who made his debut as a Spanish player. The Brazilian, who ended up being key in Espanyol’s comeback, has shown himself to be a deep, incisive, willful, physically powerful winger with a lot of confidence in his conditions. He hasn’t thought twice when looking to tackle rival defenders, although on numerous occasions he has lacked precision to correctly end the generated arrivals.
Before showing their offensive arsenal, of course, Espanyol has verified that, defensively, they still maintain some of the mistakes that condemned them to relegation last year. Amorebieta took advantage of two defensive lapses to leave 0-2 at the break. The two goals caused whistles among the more than 19,000 white-and-blue spectators, whom Espanyol wanted to reward by showing a different energy. With more desire than good football, the Spaniards have been able to find the necessary reaction. Calero has started and finished the comeback with two goals that make him the white-and-blue’s top scorer at the start of the season, with three goals. In between, Salvi signed the equalizer after heading in a cross from Ramos that was headed in by Braithwaite. The full-back’s debut overshadowed another debut, Baldé’s, which lasted a quarter of an hour. Espanyol has seen the wolf’s ears, but when he woke up he was relentless.
