The defeat against Betis hurt, and a lot. But if something made clear this Monday’s gathering in La Grada Ràdiocon JUAN JOSÉ CAIREDER, Victor Maymó, Jordi Bachs y Alex Noguerais that the average parakeet lives between the “we are nobody” and the “we can still with everything.” An emotional roller coaster that perfectly defines this end of the season of the Espanyol.
Made it very clear Maymówhich summarized the general feeling with a phrase that became the unofficial title of the day: “Neither conference nor now we are shit.” Because yes, a game was lost that hurt to close, but this Espanyol It has a second round worth applaudingand that, even if I do not erase the anger, puts things in perspective. “We gave the points to Betis, but the quality decides. Fix in the changes: they get the Celso and us at Veliz,” he said. “It is time to suffer a little, but we will save ourselves,” he concluded, with conviction.
Homemadeon the other hand, he acknowledged that he stayed “chafado” after the game. “They are two consecutive goals when the game dies and gave definitive salvation,” he lamented. But he did his homework and reviewed the game, where he found more goal options than he believed live: “Král’s is between comic and dramatic.” Of course, he also pulled calculator and left some hope: “It is not easy for Leganés and Las Palmas even if we do not make any point.” Data -based optimism.
The one who did not cut was Jordi Bachswho recalled that “Manolo already said it in the previous one: ‘Show Me The Money’”, and Betis showed it. “The quality is in the rooms,” he finished, making it clear that there are defeats that are not explained by tactical errors but for budget differences. Even so, he pulled the Galician coach: “When Král enters, the team sinks.”
Alex Nogueracalmer, did not activate the alarms: “I have no feeling that this team can go down,” he said. He acknowledged that the defeat was painful, but put the focus on the rivals: “They have been two games with teams with Champions options.” And defended the attitude of the group: “I can’t reproach the team.”
And of course, he had to talk about the atmosphere in the stands. Because Saturday was not just football. Bach He loaded hard against those who sold cards to Betis fans: “It cannot be that they come and get in our face. We go to the Girona field and make a child take the shirt …”. AND Francesc Viain his speech, the tone rose: “That arrogance of the Betis fan is aquaconant taking into account her record”, making it clear that what was experienced in the stadium was at least uncomfortable.
Yes indeed, Maymó He tried to put some balance: “In general terms they were correct. Football is present and are in a sweet moment.” Although he acknowledged “more enraged by the comparison of clubs than for what happened in the field.”
On proper names, there were praise to Robertowho scored his sixth goal: “He is an uncle drummer, he throws washing machines and opens them,” Maymó joked. Caseiro said that “it is a shame that it does not generate points as it has been doing.” AND Walntern He took out his list of positives: Joan García, who “keeps you based on stops,” Urko, who “has won with respect to when he arrived,” Javi Puado, who said “without him, Espanyol would be another”, and Carlos Romero, also very prominent in the game.
There was no missing errands to Manolo González. Bachs questioned his commitment to Suitcase: “If not for a contractual issue, it is not understood”, and also criticized the ownership of Aguado in Villarrealdropping that the decision did not like at all.
Conclusion? Than the Espanyol It is not for parties, but Nor to sink. A golden opportunity was lost, yes, but The team is still alive and with real permanence optionswith four days ahead and rivals that do not have it easy either. The key will be not infected with the fear of the environment. As he warned Francesc Via“If the next two parties are lost, panic will be widespread.” But for now, calm.
