"The result is very worked"

Sánchez Flores admits that the team suffered in the second half against Deportivo

RCD Espanyol added a new draw. On this occasion, the blue and white team took a point from Riazor, where they had to work hard, especially in the second half. "The match was long in the second half. At halftime, after the first half, we thought we could do more. The result is very hard work and will help us face the future", has said the blue and white coach, Quique Sánchez Flores.

"If we had finished the second time like the first, we would be happy. We had the ball and two opportunities. We do not want to be that team that loses its balance, that is threatened during the game... These are the things that we do not want to repeat; you have to be strong”, he said. Sánchez Flores said that the classification does not always indicate the quality of the teams: "Deportivo has great midfield players forward. If they did not appear in the first time, it is because we did it very well. In the second half they had more presence and we suffered".

"The mind of the athlete feeds on the results and good feelings. When we have been dominated by Deportivo, they have remembered the most fragile episodes of the season. You have to appreciate that the opponent also plays, that he had more than he seemed in the first half. When we can not, we try to fight and not lose face to the game”.
