The Espanyol midfielder is aware that with a win on Monday they will leave everything ready to sentence the League and their return to First Division
Adrian Embarba is one of the main culprits of the good time of the Spanish. The media, which was elected player of the month of March, is aware that by winning on Monday at Almeria will take a giant step in the ascent to First. With previous experience in the silver category, he warns that this year the Second is being very strong. He wants to surpass his personal mark of goals in favor, which is in the 8 goals that he celebrated with him Lightning, the same as it is now. He does not want to talk about his future yet, although he would like to continue next year in the Spanish, and only focuses on the final of this monday. It comes at the best moment of the course for parakeets.
- He is in a sweet moment of the season, he was voted best player of the month of March.
- Yes, and I am very happy because in the end it is not just an individual title, they give it to you because it is a great moment and there is a great job from the whole team.
- Can Monday’s game mark a before and after in the course?
- The truth is that we have always considered every game as a final. Now we reach the commitment to 10 points of Almería, which is the third classified. We have to enjoy this situation and value it because we have an opportunity to leave the promotion to First Division practically sentenced.
We have to enjoy the situation we are in now and value it
- And they arrive at the best time.
- We come from a good run of results. We have not lost many games and five consecutive wins. Therefore, we reached the final stretch of the course in an unbeatable way, to these 8 remaining matches. It is a game that can be very important in the face of direct promotion, but it will be complicated and if we do not win we must be calm and calm because we will still have an important cushion of points.
- His best face-to-door season was 2017-18 with Rayo. Then he celebrated eight goals, the same ones he has now and he still has days to beat that mark. Is it one of your goals?
- I would love to beat my own record because, in the end, it would help the team in the fight for the promotion goal.
I wish I could beat my record of 8 goals, it would be a way to help
- Precisely, that year you went up to First with the Madrid team, does the Second seem tougher now than then?
- It is true that I was able to play with Rayo and yes, it has been a very tough year. The teams at the top are pushing hard to stay in that zone and those at the bottom want to go out. It is being complicated. Last year Huesca rose, and were champions, with the same points that we have now. We knew that the season was very long, that there would be good and bad moments, that it would be very even and that there would be a lot of level.
- After the draw against Mirandés, there was a change of chip in the team. What happened?
- It is true that even those three consecutive draws were not the results that we all would have liked, but the team gained confidence and then began to achieve very important triumphs, some against direct rivals. In such a long league you have to be constant and continue until the end, being very aware that any rival can complicate a game.
- What has been the secret of this Espanyol?
- The main thing was that, when we descended, we quickly changed the chip after the club had been in First for so many years and then the regularity. In any case, it has been a strange year, without fans in the fields, although we feel it very close.
- How have you lived this season?
- It was very strange. Every day you undergo a test, in recent days we had a couple of isolated colleagues, concentrations with minimal contact between us … but in the end it is a global pandemic and football could not be left out. Hopefully everything will change soon.
I’m happy, I feel important and I want to stay here, but now only Almería matters
- Arriving at this point of the year, it is inevitable to ask him if the next course will continue as a parakeet in First.
- (laughs) What I want to consider first is the game on Monday, it is crucial, but here I feel important, valued and very happy and the idea is to continue, but I already tell you that at this time of the season I only focus on the next match.
