The massive defeat at the Bernabeu, Moreno’s reprimand to RdT and the lack of public decisions lead the entity to a disaffected end of the course.
Soap bubbles
When it seemed that Espanyol could not come close to the embarrassing 5-1 achieved against Villarreal, the 4-0 at the Bernabeu arrived. A dagger to the heart of a season that will end a team in the First Division, yes; but, one more campaign, without a project or rebellion, nor self-esteem, a sad visitor to the championship, the ideal guest at a Madrid party that even unwittingly passed over him. The meeting also had other images that showed that the Sant Adria bubble was not exactly made of soap bubbles.
The catch
It happened at minute 74. Specifically, that minute is when the cameras repeat some images that could well have happened before. Vicente Moreno gets up quickly, goes towards an RdT who is on the bench and grabs him by the chest before the striker’s absent gaze. The compliments between the two have been happening at press conferences. But that mutual appreciation exploded into the air. It has not been another week for the man from Madrid, who has already met the criticism of some fans on social networks. From Embarba’s rudeness in Mallorca to the coach’s reaction at the Bernabeu with RdT. Vicente Moreno, a quiet man, starred in an event never seen before in the two years he has been a parakeet. The epilogue of something.
new fire
The numbers speak for themselves. Espanyol in the second round barely got 13 points. And there are only four games left to play. The deterioration of the values shown in the first round is evidence, either due to the little commitment of the squad at the end of the season (the passivity in the goals is another evidence), due to their shortcomings or due to the loss of faith in the trainer. Whatever it was, Espanyol went into a tailspin. The Sant Adrià bubble is about to burst.
