“This was a fair reward”
Vicente Moreno emphasized that the team continued to believe and that it was important to follow on from the victory against R. Zaragoza
RCD Espanyol obtained three well-deserved points against Cartagena. Despite the home team’s initial goal, the Blue and White team obtained a victory after a good reaction, as was pointed out by the Espanyol coach Vicente Moreno. “We knew it was going to be difficult even though we were facing a rival who did not arrive from a good streak, but they work well, have a good coach and it is not easy to win here. I want to congratulate the players, because we started well, we got into it well and we had three or four chances to score... However, you start the second half and they quickly score against us. The team has continued to insist and we have had two or three actions that have hit the woodwork. By keeping to insist, pressing and challenging our rivals, we equalized, then we scored the next and the third. This is the momentum we want to have and keep having. It’s not easy to win and now it is time to think about the next game “.
Vicente Moreno said he liked that the team “insist, persevere, and, despite the difficulties, have continued to believe and do things to turn the score around. I want to congratulate the team because they have insisted and have obtained their just reward. It was important to obtain a victory and continue with three more points. On Sunday we will try to win again”.
Finally, Moreno praised the performances of Puado and Nico Melamed: “I do not usually do this, but they deserve it for their performance. They have played very well and have been decisive with their actions. I am very happy for them, because they are working very well and they have been rewarded”.
