Manolo González appeals to his workforce’s work, to insistence, to reverse a scenario that isn’t but essential (Espanyol is eighth (4 factors from the European locations and 11 above the relegation zone). And the go to of Getafe (ninth, 2 factors much less), which has not gained at the RCDE Stadium for 13 seasons (2013), appears conducive to breaking the dangerous file.

The temper

“We have to look ahead, not obsess over something that no longer has a solution. It screwed us up a lot because it was a match that we had control over, not much happened until Charly’s expulsion. We are strong inside, with the desire to win, the team deserves more than what it has in the second round, but things come as they come,” commented Manolo González with resignation.
Three games away

It doesn’t make sense and it happens again and will happen again,” he reiterated his feeling of being harmed, each by the referees, the calendar or the schedules.

The details

But there are damaging issues that make you lose, like the expulsion from Elche, the expulsion the different day in Mallorca… These are particulars of soccer, it’s not nearly enjoying properly. Staying with 10 solely occurred to us as soon as final yr and this yr it has occurred to us greater than as soon as. These are particulars that imply that you simply can’t win. 90% of the games that you simply play with one much less are misplaced, the City, Lyon, us… It is troublesome to carry on with 10 gamers when every little thing is so even,” the coach elaborated in his grievance.
Psychology

Maybe you have to win on the day you least expect or that you least deserve. I’ve been training for 30 years, I’ve been through situations, it’s football the same way, and I’ve gotten through them, working, not hitting lurches, and trying to keep the team from falling at a football and mental level,” the blue and white coach encouraged his players.

The selection
“I would have been excited if a player had been called up, especially for merit, like Carlos Romero, who is having a sensational year”
“I’d have been excited if a participant had been known as up, particularly resulting from benefit. Carlos Romero is having an important yr, the numbers already say it, 5 or six objectives, 5 or six assists, he’s having a sensational yr for a left again, when two years in the past he was enjoying in the Second Division with Villarreal B.
