The Galician side won one of 20 places to play the 2015/16 Liga BBVA edition in the final game of last season after an agonizing clash at the Camp Nou, where avoided relegation thanks to overcome two goals from disadvantage and get a miraculous draw.
This year the "Herculino" club is proving that is not willing to suffer that way and want to do their homework as soon as possible.
The team led by Victor Sánchez del Amo is making a fantastic start to the season after winning 11 points from a possible 18, showing a remarkable balance of 3W-2D-1L. But the really positive is its ability to find the net: 11 goals in six matches, an average of 1.8 goals per game.
As many goals as FC Barcelona, for example.
We must go back eleven years to find a such goal scoring Deportivo after six matchdays contested, exactly to 2003/04, in which added 15 goals. That team, of course, was a regular in European competitions, with legendary names in A Coruña as Tristan - Liga BBVA top scorer in the 2001-02 season, Luque, Fran, Pandiani or Djalminha.
Its current coach was also among the roster of players. Victor Sanchez scored 30 goals with the blue and white shirt in his seven seasons at the club, a not inconsiderable tally for a midfielder.
Therefore, that Victor be the common factor between the two teams certainly is no coincidence
Lucas Perez -who has already four goals in this campaign- Luis Alberto, Cartabia or Fjar are dreaming to reach as high as their predecessors. In fact, they are just 25 goals away from the 2,000 goals of Deportivo´s history in Liga BBVA. Will they be able to achieve it this season?
