“Espanyol” has not yet won at home and will close the first round without it. So far this season, Perico team managed to add only one point from their stadium. Yesterday, the Blue and Whites lost by a narrow margin in a game they probably deserved more, but the lack of success was decisive once again.
After the match, Javi Puado appeared in front of the media and seemed displeased.We leave angry. We had another chance to get out of the rankings and go out of those positions at Christmas and we didn’t take it.. Obviously we’re not happy, situations like the goal barrier, 15 steps, not seen in any game when it should be 9 or 11, the referee tells us it’s fine, he puts it back a meter. There are things that are inexplicable, games are defined by small details“It’s also our fault that we didn’t win, but it adds up and it’s the same every year.”
Self-criticism
Despite being upset with the referee, Espanyol’s captain criticized the team’s situation.Does it add up on a psychological level? And so clearly not getting points affects us, we’re not talking about the referee anymore, it’s also our thing.. We are not satisfied, the first round was not as we wanted after achieving promotion, we know the difficulty of staying in the top category, but we have to give more, each of us has to give more if we want to play in the First Division next year.”
As for Manolo Gonzalez, Puado sent a message of support to the coach.Yes, I have always said, we trust him, his entire staff, in the work they do, as a person, as a professional, we are with him.”
