"We needed a victory like that"
Sánchez Flores trusts that the victory against R. Madrid gives confidence to the players
Quique Sánchez Flores, coach of RCD Espanyol, was very satisfied with the victory of the team against R. Madrid and has said that he hopes that this victory gives confidence to the players. "We are happy, we play with strength, energy, balance and when we find the things that made us grow last year, we improve. As a team we needed a victory like that, against a good rival. It will help us to believe in ourselves and we will do well for the future", said Quique Sánchez Flores.
The coach was "happy" for the development of a game in which the team has gone from "less to more." "The intention was to finish with energy, positive in the opposite field... We found our site and the end of the match we needed. It is a victory that should give us confidence", he said. Sanchez Flores has said that it is an "important" triumph and added that "I would like to find the regularity that gives us serenity and tranquility for the players to let go. I hope to find the things that made us grow as a team". In this context, he has declared that the victory has "much merit and is just. We played a lot of time in the opposite field in the second half and I think the team deserved to reach this end."
Sanchez Flores has said that it is no coincidence to win FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid in the same season. "The boys work hard, with a lot of intensity... We are hoping to find that streak, that chain of party that gives us energy and that happens more often".
