Since his arrival at Espanyol, Luis Miguel Ramis has established caution both on and off the field. The coach knows that he is arriving at a place where everything can turn against him very quickly and in these first weeks he has dedicated himself to building solid foundations that will allow him to extend his stay at the club as long as possible.
The main and most urgent thing is to add, but its message beyond logical ambition goes through the difficulty that each match will entail. Thus, in the run-up to the match against Alcorcón on Sunday, the coach explained that between now and the end of the season "no one will give anything" to the team and recalled that "everything will cost a lot."
Ramis, after the session at the Dani Jarque Sports City, insisted that the block will have to "work" to beat a rival "with good performance away from home" and opted for "caution, attention and humility." The Madrid team has added more points as a visitor, eight, than at home, six.
The blue and white coach insisted that Espanyol has "many stones left on the road" and pointed out that everyone knows "the obligation" they have, in reference to promotion.
"We will work every day with the same humility and respect against any team and any circumstance," said the blue and white coach. The Catalan assumed that the duel against Alcorcón is "the profile of the match in which we receive the question of whether it is a trap match."
Ramis, in any case, predicted that his team will have to "work to defeat a very tough rival," an opponent who comes "to defend their space and their points."
The blue and white coach stated that the recipe is consistency and recalled that in football "you never add six at a time." Along these lines, the coach seeks to fine-tune the team's performance after the last victory against Elche (2-0): "We cannot stop because the team needs to consolidate what we worked on during the week."
Precisely, Ramis said that the locker room is already transferring what is being worked on at the Dani Jarque Sports City to the grass. "We are seeing it in many moments of the matches and this gives the players confidence. We must recognize situations and adapt to what the matches ask for," he reflected.
Asked about the Danish striker Martin Braithwaite, scorer of two goals against Elche last week, the coach assured that the attacker "is fine, convinced" and also "at ease" with what the coaching staff is transmitting. "We all know that he is an important player, but we must all contribute," he added.
On the other hand, Ramis announced that Puado and Pol Lozano, injured until now, could be included in the squad: "Javi Puado has the competitive pace and his ankle is doing very well. Pol has improved, he can help us a lot."
