Sergi Guardiola, alternative for the Spanish attack in the winter market

The lack of purpose is one of the most pressing problems spanish and one of the reasons that explains the qualifying emergency that Manolo González’s team is going through, second to last in the table and two points from the safety positions marked by Deportivo Alavés. The direction sports are heading Fran Garagarza is already working on finding solutions and one of the names that appears strongest to strengthen the parakeet lead in the winter market is Sergi Guardiolaas reported yesterday by the ‘Relevo’ portal.

The 33-year-old Balearic forward has no place at Rayo Vallecano and will be asked to leave when the next transfer window opens. Guardiola had only seven appearances in the team led by Iñigo Pérez, with a total of 189 minutes in which he scored one goal, in the first round of King’s Cup he is new Villamuriel. In the League he played only five games, none of them as a starter, and he has not played a minute since November 8 against UD Las Palmas

The Manacori attacker has extensive experience in the League, where he has played in the ranks of Getafe, Rayo Vallecano, Cádiz and Valladolid and it is appreciated in the blue and white sports management to strengthen the position of center forward, a role they are doing now Walid Cheddira, Alejo Véliz and Irving Cardona. Between the three attackers they have amassed just three goals so far while the blue and white’s top scorer is Javi Puado, who has found the net on five occasions so far in Liga.

Lack of marking

Espanyol is one of the teams with the worst scoring production in the domestic championship, with only 15 goals scored in 16 games played (the match against Valencia postponed by DANA is pending). Only Valladolid (12 goals), Valencia (13 goals) and Getafe (11) have scored fewer goals than Espanyol, with the same number as Leganés. Sergi Guardiola appears on the horizon as a ‘low-cost’ alternative for the winter market.
