Espanyol approaches the Christmas break without showing signs of resurrection and without nurturing the hope that Manolo González can eat the nougats as first team coach. In the first of the three ‘finals’ that the Catalan team has before the break, they hit a bone. And at the RCDE Stadium where he was showing his best image, until now.
He punctured against an Osasuna that demanded little from him and now they will play a ‘final’ in capital letters next Wednesday against bottom club Valencia and before going on vacation they will face UD Las Palmas of another old acquaintance, Diego Martínez.
All that will come, but for now, this Saturday The parrots did not pass the exam. Manolo Gonzalez He has already said on more than one occasion that more forcefulness is needed in both areas to be able to get better loot, to win again. And this Saturday at Espanyol’s leads melted at the top.
How can a team hope to win if it doesn’t shoot between the three sticks? It’s impossible. And eleven Perico in 95 minutes only shot on one occasion between the three posts of the goal of Sergio Herrera, a whip from Pol Lozano which deserved to be a goal but which missed the goal with a superb save.
First clean sheet at home in LaLiga
Espanyol did not exist in attack, but they did improve at the back, thanks to their good defensive work and the fact that Osasuna did little, very little, scratching. Not even the warrior Budimir. For the first time in the League and at the RCDE Stadium, Espanyol’s goal did not receive a goal, calm and always firm Joan Garcia. The second time so far this league season, since the first was in the Metropolitano against Atlético at the end of August. It’s very far away now.
Recognize and applaud the first clean sheet of an Espanyol that once again disappointed and that will have to improve a lot to avoid suffering from permanence.
