Vicente Moreno: “It’s not even a penalty”

The coach of Espanyol, Vincent Morenoconceded as best he could the defeat in discount against Real Sociedad of his team that came in a maximum penalty that in his opinion “was not even a penalty”.

“The idea in the famous meeting is that penalties were not going to be called, but this was not even a penalty. There is a minimal charge, the player throws himself and calls a penalty,” he summarized the action that preceded the goal of Alex Isak from eleven meters that determined the result.

The Valencian coach revealed that he spoke “politely” with the referee after the match so that he could explain that decision to him and he saw more clearly an action on Loren Moron that was not taken into account Jaime Latre.

Vincent Moreno he was upset when asked if his team had “surrendered” to Real and recalled that the people of San Sebastian “have a team that even if you want to submit it is not easy because they won’t let you, not because you don’t want to do it and that also happens to us us and the other teams that play here”.

The Espanyol coach did leave satisfied with the work of his players who showed off “in defense, but they lacked having more ball, longer possessions and hurting them on their field, something that is not easy against this rival”.

He acknowledged that both he and his players were “annoyed” because they had earned at least one point and the goal in added time leaves “a foolish face and even more.”
