"A draw here is good"

Quique Sánchez Flores highlights the difficulties posed by Eibar

Espanyol had to work hard to score a point in Ipurua. The blue-and-white coach, Quique Sánchez Flores, thought that the tie was good for the characteristics of the rival. "It's a complex field, a rival that does not let you think, suffocates you and gets you into the area. It is very difficult to play this match, but it was like we thought. We wanted to defend balls from the front, not sides and we got it. Tie here is good; Eibar is where it is for something", said Quique Sánchez Flores.

The coach, however, regretted that his team did not take advantage of the opportunities they had. "We were wrong in the final meters. We had four very clear chances without shooting. We did not shoot much, but our clearest chances did not finish in closing. We had four contras in superiority that did not end up finishing. We are effective, but today we have not been in the last pass", he said.
