the captain of RCD Espanyol, Javi Puado, stated after his team’s defeat against UD Las Palmas (1-0), this Sunday at the Gran Canaria Stadium, that all players must “give much more” if they want to play again next season in the First Division, after end the year 2024 in relegation positions and as the worst visitor in LaLiga EA Sports.
The Catalan striker told Movistar LaLiga TV that after achieving promotion last season, they cannot be happy with the second half of the year and must “do self-criticism” for the team’s sporting career, although they assure that they trust the current coach, Manolo González, and his technical staff.
“Obviously we cannot be happy, we had another chance to get out of the relegation spots before the Christmas holidays and we have not taken advantage of it“he declared.
Puado complained about the referee’s placement of the barrier in the foul that led to the only goal of the game, scored by Sandro Ramírez for UD Las Palmas in the 67th minute.
“He has put it fifteen steps away, this has not been seen in any game, they are inexplicable things, which add up, and every year it is the same“, he lamented, although he later clarified that the main reason for the current situation “is our thing, not getting points, and We have to give much more each of us and change the chip if we want to play again next season in the First Division,” he reiterated.
