José González: “We have to maintain our self-esteem”

The Blue and Whites’ coach held a press conference at La Rosaleda, the day before #EspanyolMálaga. “We have to compete until the end, maintaining our dignity”, he affirmed.

Next match

“We’re preparing for a First Division game against a team with character, history and in a great environment. The players will be anxious ahead of playing this game, but as we’ve been saying recently, we have to stand up and maintain our self-esteem”.

Self-esteem and dignity

“It’s what we have to go through, something we’ve generated, and maintain our self-esteem until the end. Unfortunately, nobody wanted these results, but we need to compete until the end, always maintaining our dignity”.

Alberto López

“I manage reports from Antonio Tapia, above all, about this player. He has come up with us, has a good performance and has possibilities to play tomorrow. If we need him, the lad is excited, he’s another contribution to the team, which is always positive in that regard. It’s exactly the same with Iván, he’s been training with us for weeks and could also be another contribution”.

RCD Espanyol

“The general concern is this team has good players, people upfront who can do damage, especially Gerard Moreno. When he’s not there, they have the contribution of anyone from the back. Baptistao and Sergio García score their fair share of goals. There are good players, and also those who cover a lot of ground, such as Víctor Sánchez and Sergi Darder. It’s a very complete squad, who’s followed the same line for many years, which is helping them, and if they do well they’ll make the leap of quality they’re lacking to be continually in the top 10”.
