There is no storm, as they demonstrated on the previous visit, nor a methacrylate booth to stop the Spanish fans. The same one that was throwing things at its head just three weeks ago due to a series of terrible results but that, spurred on by the laborious draws against Barcelona (2-2) and Seville (1-1), returned this Sunday to dye a part of La Cerámica blue and white and the surroundings of the stadium Villarreal. and to witness a authentic shipwreck in result (5-1) and game.
More than 1,500 followers of Espanyol embarked on what will surely be the most massive displacement of the season of the return to the First Divisionand also him more crowded since that other one that also had Vila-real as a destination on January 19, 2020in the relegation campaign, with that 1-2 that in the end would be a mirage but that was able to bring together more than 4,000 parakeets and parakeets a Sunday that, moreover, was especially rainy and stormy. Then came the pandemic, the decline…
This time, 1,400 fans responded to the call from the club and the Penyes Federationwho organized coaches with entrance to the visiting area for an affordable price of 15 euros and departures from the RCDE Stadium and nerve centers of Girona, Lleida and Tarragona. And a few more traveled to Vila-real on their own, many even on Saturday to take advantage of the weekend, staying in other sectors of the stadium. A large crowd greeted the team coach in the vicinity of La Cerámica.
It was thus possible to compensate, at least in the environment, for Espanyol’s love of displacement to measure themselves with the Valencia in Mestallawhich was awaited with great anticipation on the return to First Division but which was unimpressed when the match was scheduled for New Year’s Eve at 4:15 p.m., which put many followers back. Yes, they can go, if they wish and feel like it, to the Levante-Espanyol that will be played in the Ciutat de València on Saturday, March 12 at 2:00 p.m.
