Today, “Espanyol” suffered another defeat outside its stadium. The Paraquets extend their poor streak away from home, where they have managed to pick up just one point so far this season was not enough to add anything positive. Manolo González appeared in front of the media after the game and stated that the team deserved more, but the lack of success condemned them.
Relevance rating. “I don’t think we were worse than Getafe even in the first half. We had clear goal actions. They had the goal and the one scored by Joan. If you create more chances on the pitch against a tough opponent, you can’t win, that’s it.”
About the first half of the team. “I don’t think we entered the game badly. The goal is the long pass after the rebound. I haven’t seen them dominate or dominate us. “The most normal thing was to go to the break, 1-1.”
Controlled meeting, but unsuccessful. “If Getafe had controlled the game, they wouldn’t have given you the chances we did. We had clear actions, but if you don’t own the areas, it’s hard to win.” I think we had control.”
Many activities from the center to the area. “There were a lot of clear situations in the center. When they guard you in the low block, you have to try to open the field and get out. That’s how we did it. There were clear situations that we did not finish. That’s how hard it is to win.”
“Espanyol” was not worse than the opponent. “Today we’re on top, not in terms of results, but in terms of playing the game, matching the intensity of the opponent and doing more things than Getafe. It doesn’t compare to the days like Girona or Bilbao.” We deserved it, it was a matter of success.”
About personal situation. “I’m worried about leading the team. When we win the games against Valencia and Osasuna. The rest does not depend on me. I have to work. After losing in “Girona”, I already said that the team will stand up and will definitely do it. The important thing for me is that “Espanyol” is in the first division next year and it is improving. I focus on the game situations. “I’m very relaxed about the job, but I’m worried because it’s difficult for us to win away from home.”
Omar and Jofre remarked. “Others will play. We will try to choose well and get it right. As I said the other day, there are players in the team who have to justify themselves if they want to play.”
