It was the 55th minute of the Mallorca-Espanyol, with 1-0 in favor of the locals, when Vicente Moreno decided to move the bench of a team that was unstitched and out of the match. The blue and white coach decided to enter Manu Morlanes and Nico Melamed and take David López off the field, who ran away, and Adrián Embarba, who was surprised. During the week the player had discomfort but finally ended up playing.
His anger was notorious. While the first captain went to the bench and greeted the coach and all the substitutes or members of the coaching staff, the Madrid winger passed by. Vicente Moreno called his attention to greet him, but Embarba turned and took his hand away and left next to the bench. Afterwards, he was chatting about the match with Álvaro Vadillo, a player who should leave on loan before Tuesday as he does not count for the sports management.
“No one is happy when they change it. When you win it is better and when you lose that comes out. It was not a scuffle. If there had been, we'd cut it fast. Adri is fantastic, he made an effort to play, he had an ankle problem and he had to puncture himself. He had not been able to train for several days, “the coach later commented in the press room.

“It was a bad day, you have to go back to being your old team”
After that controversy, Vicente Moreno was asked about his team's match, which has still not won after three days. “The feeling in the previous games is that we could win, but today is that it was a bad day. They were above the details. You have to go back to the previous weeks. It is necessary to try that it does not appear what of today. We had many inaccuracies, we did not see what we prepared or what was worked, ”he lamented.
The technician acknowledged that they are left “bad body” and that the stoppage can be made “long” but he reiterated that “this has not done anything other than you start and we know how difficult it is”. The technician did not want to get wet with the closing of the market and asked “tranquility” and “that the new ones are joining”.
In the final part of the press conference Vicente Moreno answered several questions about his past in the vermilion group. Whistled by a part of the fans, the coach acknowledges that “Farewells come when they arrive, it may be that I should have held a press conference, perhaps it was innocence, there was COVID, it was not easy. Over time you may see it differently, but you have to make decisions“.
Finally, he made it clear that “I name Mallorca when I want to” and he did not want to enter to value the words of Luis García in the previous one: “There are my words, with semicolons. The interpretation depends on the good or bad faith of each one.”
