Before and after the game in Ipurua, Espanyol fans called for the resignation of Luis Miguel Ramis. The comeback in added time, unparalleled in Spanish professional football, did not hide the team's image in front of the stands, but it did give air to the coach (and Fran Garagarza) against Chen Yansheng.
If his continuity hangs in the balance, the coach can boast of having placed the team in direct promotion positions 16 days after he did so with Luis García still on the bench.
The coach's duty continues to be the team's lack of prominence with the ball away from home. The results away from the Stage Front are insufficient, but at the moment they are being compensated with a great streak at home.
Despite all the doubts, Ramis' numbers are no longer so bad. In fact, although he does not improve on Luis García (the Tarragona native has added one point less (23) in the same rounds (14)), since the arrival of Ramis, Espanyol has added more points than any of the top seven in the standings.
The equality that exists in the second division of Spanish football has allowed Espanyol to be the team that has achieved the most points in the last fourteen days among the top seven. Neither Leganés (19), Eibar (20), Valladolid (20), Racing de Ferrol (20), Sporting de Gijón (16) and Racing de Santander (21) have reached the figure of 23 points.
Yes, Burgos (25) has done it, the best team in this period of time. Oviedo has added 23, the same as Espanyol in this period of time. Therefore, they may not be convincing with their game and the results could possibly be very improved, but even so, Ramis' Espanyol is enough to surpass their rivals.
