"We have to ask more of ourselves"

Fernando Calero knows that the team must be self-critical to progress ahead of Saturday's match against Villarreal B

Fernando Calero knows that the squad must continue to work hard and be self-critical to progress, speaking ahead of Saturday’s match against Villarreal B.

RCD Espanyol welcome the side from Vila-real to the Stage Front Stadium this weekend, following a goalless draw away to promotion rivals Racing Club Ferrol. Calero, who has played in both games following the winter break, is aware that self-awareness and honesty is required to move forward as a team.

The centre-back said, “The draw in Ferrol allowed us to take a step forward, though the results are not what we want. We always look for the three points so we were left with a bittersweet taste. We must be self-critical and ask more of ourselves. As soon as we get a victory that boosts us a little more, we will surely be at the top”.

Calero continued, “This year is incredible, it is very difficult to win games. But as soon as we manage to do so and build on it with a couple more victories, we will be at the top, which is what we want. We want to take a little revenge [for the reverse fixture against Villarreal B] and get the three points in front of our fans”.
