"We haven't done a good match"
Quique Sánchez Flores that the initial goal of Alcorcón complicated the development of the match for his team
The coach of RCD Espanyol, Quique Sánchez Flores, acknowledged at the conclusion of the match that the white and blue team did not make a good eliminatory and added that the goal of Alcorcón has greatly conditioned the development of the meeting. "We wanted to continue, we made the best possible line up, but the game got very complicated practically from the start. They achieved the goal that was to score and we got into a more complicated match. Elimination disappoints us. It is difficult to convey enthusiasm to the players when you are far from the final, but we would have liked to pass the second round. The mistake is to take the match to penalties because anything can happen. We had 120 minutes to avoid them, we were not cool with the ball, we did not find solutions and we did not have the necessary ideas to believe".
Quique Sánchez Flores has made it clear that "I am not angry with any player. You can not ask the same thing to a player who plays another who does not play regularly". The coach has said that "we did not make a tie good enough to pass. We let the Alcorcón match us and we did not notice the difference of category. We could not give him what we wanted to fans and now we have to focus on LaLiga".
