“I trust the dressing room and the coach; we will surely go up”

The situation that the Spanish in LaLiga SmartBank, outside of the direct promotion places 13 days before the end of the championship, it is anomalous. Proof of this, the step he took this noon David Lopez in the press room. “I thought it was time to take a step forward, the club needed it,” started the captain, who arrived with a opening speech in which he repeated the term “calm” on numerous occasions. The one of Sant Cugat was expressed thus.

“I understand the criticisms. They are normal. We all want to be leaders and win all the games. In the name of the dressing room, I think it was time to show up. Perhaps people want deeds and not words. They want us to go up to First. I trust the dressing room, the coach and we will achieve the goal. I want to transmit calm because there is much left. I want to take this opportunity to thank people. It is normal that they criticize us, but then the fans are on Saturday making receptions that they do not do to other clubs. We are with them, we thank the Curva, the Youth and the Federació de Penyes “.

After David López's emotional speech, the midfielder delved into the problems that have displaced Espanyol from the top positions, although the midfielder wanted to emphasize all the virtues rather than the defects of the Blue and Whites. “One of those things to improve is the feeling of fragility in some moments, but that is caused because we do not close the games. And that can lead to lack of concentration. We are the second team that receives the fewest goals and the third or fourth that receives the fewest shots. They generate almost nothing for us and mark us little. We have the defense very high. Sometimes it is the sensations, if we had scored the second we would have more peace of mind “.

These nuances, according to David, are corrected “training”, although the footballer is clear that “we are not doing so badly for everything we generate. We improved compared to the beginning, although the first round was very good. We should have won the game del Rayo, it was key “. And he repeated the annoyance again after Miranda's meeting: “Miranda's game was not easy. We all expected to win. We arrived from Anduva annoyed at 3:00 in the morning. The fans and we suffered. It was a hard blow. But Mallorca or Almería also fail. The League is competitive. and even. There is nothing affordable, especially in the second round. You have to win one or two games again to get back to our dynamic. “

Finally, David López valued the emotional recovery of the team after the worst season in the club's history, and made it clear that there are no reminiscences of it: “It was totally cut off, sure. It may be that we were penalized by the fact that we gave the feeling that it was easy, but it wasn't. We made a radical change in performance. Puado and a full-back, the rest we were already there. It's very difficult, it has a lot of value”.
