"The result has a lot of merit"

QSF said that his team defended with order and that he completed a very serious match

Espanyol took three points from La Rosaleda and finally won their first away victory. The blue and white coach, Quique Sánchez Flores, said in his press conference that the result against Malaga had "much merit."

"The result has a lot of merit because it's difficult to play here; It is a result of much merit. It has been a very serious game against an opponent that has good players but are in a state of need. It was a game very similar to last season: they have taken the ball and the field, but we defended well, with order and without eccentricities. We have not gone through difficulties and we have dominated the result”.

“We have not understood the game very well. We went very well for the first ten minutes, we played calmly, but suddenly, we gave the ball to Málaga and we started to suffer because of some losses in our field. We did not like that phase of the game and we would have liked to have more opportunities, but we were more effective. I am very satisfied with the work because Málaga demanded us, because they play well and have quality players."

The blue and white coach has indicated that the RCD Espanyol fans will be "delighted to see themselves with 23 points and close to very good positions. Good results accompany sensations. I like winning because it is the happiness of the group and feeds the passion of the players".
