Manolo Gonzalez He will be in charge of steering the ship of the Spanish first team to the lone and great challenge of the year: promotion. Until Tuesday, the coach of Perico’s subsidiary was in charge of the first team instead of Luis Miguel Ramiswas dismissed suddenly on Tuesday.
This Wednesday he was presented as the new coach of the Spanish first team and he showed himself “convinced of this group’s ability to climb” betting on “synthesizing everything we can (concepts) because there are only 12 games left and I want to make the most of them as much as possible. “We have to clench our fists and go for the goal, so that the Spaniard will go up no matter what.”
The now former reserve team coach called for “unity” from all levels to push for promotion and promised that he, his coaching staff and all the players would “give it our all”. Manolo González is not even thinking about whether he will continue in the office if Espanyol goes up to the First Division, though Garagarza extended his hand, without getting wet completely. “My only concern is that Espanyol will be in the First Division next year, whether with me or with ‘Periko el de los palotes’,” he assured. Below, all the responses from the new Spanish coach.
– A more than difficult challenge in these 12 games. Are you facing this with vertigo?
“I am confident and calm about the ability of this locker room to face the challenge, I am fully convinced of the coaching staff and the players. I must try to synthesize everything as much as possible and make the most of everything”
– You broke a lot of ground to get here, how do you expect to achieve hierarchy in a professional locker room?
“These are the stages that disappear when I go up in the category. If you go in front of the players, if the work you do makes sense and if what we do leads them to win, they will be with me. Will go front is the only thing to do”
– What did you see in the locker room today?
“I am very happy with what I have seen. I have seen a very great willingness and unity; everyone is aware that they will give their all to achieve the goal. It suits all of us. Not giving any effort makes no sense.”
-Will you have a hard time transferring your ideas to this locker room?
“They have the ability to take everything fast, I’m committed to doing 20 things and doing them well. What memory do I want to leave? If we go up, perfect. And if I go back to the club, I can do it with my head up my head, as I always do everywhere.”
– Will we see reserve team players with big teams?
“I’m in favor of not promoting guys for promotion, but so they can play. I’m not in favor of promoting for promotion. We have to see if the club grows with these promotions of Cantarenos, the club in raise me. We have to protect the boys and see how everything changes.”
– How is this defined in football terms? And how do you like to play your Spanish?
“I want to continue and I am a very hard worker. I want to give confidence to the player and appreciate us for what we have won. I want the team to be looking for the game and the victory, not waiting for them to come.”
– How do you see the template?
“They have a lot of good things. Confidence in the players is vital, that’s what’s important. We have to try to strengthen our weapons, not attacklessly and close a clean sheet. That balance will make us closer to the goal.”
– Do players believe in climbing?
“That’s what they told me, they’re eager. That’s what I saw and that’s what I’m saying. The level is sensational and they’re conscious of going up because it’s good for everyone. They know they have it. to take a step forward.”
– Are you thinking of climbing this team?
“I have it set in mind. Going up with this club would be wonderful and if we are here it is to go up. And we will give our all to make it that way”
– Do you want to continue in the position next year?
“I’m here where I want and now I don’t think about it anymore; I have to work and I don’t care, he doesn’t even ask me. I’m worried that Espanyol will be in the First Division next year, me too or in ‘Periko el de lo palotes’ “If we go up and another coach comes, I don’t care because I’m there to support and help him.”
– Challenge to engage with another fan base
“If the partner feels identified, much better. The partner feels it and we just have to work hard and give them a little bit. And they will give the rest.”
– Do you see direct promotion as feasible?
“Hopefully it will save us a lot of trouble, it’s better without a doubt. I’ve played in the playoffs in other categories and one bad game takes you out of everything, it’s a lottery sometimes. You have to climb the direct route.”
– Nico Melamed
“It’s the same if we’re talking about Salvi, they’re all going to be important. Nico has to help us because of his great quality, but they’re all important.”
– On Sunday it debuts against Zaragoza where a great like Víctor Fernández makes his debut again
“We are working on it. It will be complicated, but there is full confidence that it will be overcome. All matches have their own difficulties and in Zaragoza there are a lot of them. We can’t win without getting off the bus, but we can beat anyone. “We have to come out with that mentality, beat anybody in this category, nobody else”
– -What line can be seen in the first group?
“In the first team, because of the number of players there, it should not change. Now, we have to focus on how to hurt the rival, to reduce the cognitive load of concepts in just 12 games.”
– You applied meritocracy to the subsidiary and now too?
“We will try to make it that way, that in each game a player gives us a better performance. I will try to ensure that no one falls and for everyone to believe that they can play. Adapt to each rival and game, without our idea is giving up”
– You have reached here after going through all the categories, after being in the mud…
– This is a study that I recommend to everyone. You have to make the most of everything and I think it makes you a better coach. I’ve been very good at all the clubs I’ve been to.”
