Relegation usually gets the best out of a player. He tries to leave to go to another club or he leaves and isn't as good for a club in a higher league.
But there are those who are committed to their club and fight to get back to where they belong. The later is the case with Adrían Embarba. Despite being at a good level in the top tier, he stayed with Rayo for 2019-20.
The 27-year-old became one of the club's leaders straight away. He has gone from being a good player to a leader with the club.
With only 11 matches gone, Embraba is now amongst the players with the most assists in Europe. He has 9 and is above everyone in La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and the Premier League.
Only Kevin de Bruyne, in the Premier League with 8, is close to Adri Embarba's numbers, who, according to 'AS', has also scored 4 goals, so he has been the architect of 13 Rayo goals.
Given his performances, if Rayo don't go up, a team in La Liga could decide to sign him, until then it's time for him to continue enjoying life at Rayo.
