Espanyol was delighted on Saturday when they defeated Real Madrid 1-0, which is a result that moves them outside the relegation zone of La Liga. Los Pericos groove brilliantly to limit the opportunities that the defending champion had in the Podium Voorstadion, before he scored by Carlos Romero.
It has been a difficult season for Espanyol and head coach Manolo Gonzalez has been very busy. After Saturday's game, he could not hide his joy about the result, according to relevant.
“I was excited to win a game of this type. And I feel things, and if you feel them, you can't hide the emotion. I am very sorry for my work and I defend my club to death, and as Espanyol even more. A game like this winning is unforgettable.
“It was a difficult year for the players. They earn everything. Players also need such joy. Beating a European champion gives you an important moral power, but now we can't think that we are what we are not. The team believes and wants to stay in La Liga. '
Gonzalez also responded to complaints from Carlo Ancelotti about the decision not to grant a red card to Romero, who committed a hard challenge on Kylian Mbappe for 25 minutes before scored the winner. In his eyes, referee Alejandro Muniz Ruiz, and also VAR, came to the right conclusion.
“The truth is that I don't know what they are talking about. I only know that Espanyol has won. I will not comment on that. It is a tough tackle, but I don't think it has an impact. For me it is a well -reduced situation, it is not red because it has no influence on the player. If it had been red, I am sure they would have corrected it. I don't think there is more to say. “
