"I'll take how we won"

David Gallego highlights the victory of the team in a "very important" field

Second game away with David Gallego as coach and second consecutive triumph of Espanyol. The blue and white team, in addition, becomes the first LaLiga team to win in the Metropolitan Wanda. "I do not know which one would stand out the most. It has been a very important victory in a field like this, but above all because of how we won. The team has worked hard, has generated advantages from behind in the initiation of the game and in defense we have gone through very little trouble", he said.

"I like how we have won, how we have interpreted the game in both defensive and offensive phases and, in addition, we have had success in the face of goal. We have taken small steps, but I want to make it clear that the coach does not have much merit because we have only had three or four tactical sessions. The merit is more of the players who believe in this idea and model and have been released", he said.

Gallego insists that he stays "with the growth of the team" and added that "I hope that next week we will take one more step". "The team has done very well. Atletico when you submit with the ball comes with many players. What has been spoken, has been understood and interpreted. One gives the premises, but they are the ones who decide", he said.

On his expulsion, Gallego commented that "it has been an observation of the game: no lack of respect or insult. The pain is for me that I lose the next match and I only have two more in Primera".
