Ramis: “We’re behind everything”

Luis Miguel Ramis, Espanyol coach, was very critical after his team’s deserved defeat against Oviedo. He did not warm to him and considered the blow he received fair, warning that in the Second Division many things need to be done properly to have ambitions of promotion.

“We came late in everything and had no other choice but the result given. We did not understand the game from the beginning, neither with the ball nor without. That in the Second Division is paid for by defeat. The real Oviedo is always ahead of us,” Ramis admitted.

He did not want to justify the debacle with the changes introduced, or focus the blame on the players of the first half, reminding them that Aguado and Jofre performed at a high level against Alcorcón and now they are reciprocal. “The problem now is the team. We haven’t been good on a collective or individual level. Therefore, we we have a loss that we deserve and that should make us think a lot”.

Ramis did not look for an excuse and lamented the bipolarity of Espanyol, comparing the match against Alcorcón at home last week and today in Oviedo. “Today’s match is bad. We cannot have two such different versions and we must work because that will not happen. The team is capable of more. The opponent can match you, but we We cannot show a big difference between one day and another. We must enter the games better and understand them. You have to give importance to all aspects of the game because, otherwise, anyone will beat you. Today we didn’t give two passes in a row, we rushed at the beginning of the game, we weren’t accurate… We have an entity and we have to take seven steps forward. We can retreat from time to time because we will lose, but we cannot take two steps forward and one step back,” he said.
