Weeks go by and Luis Miguel Ramis still doesn’t know what it’s like to win away from Stage Front Stadium. He supports Espanyol in his performance at home, where he has accumulated several wins in a row. However, to reach the direct promotion positions the parakeet team needs more, which tomorrow faces Eibar, second placed, in Ipurúa. This exit is one of the most complicated of those that lie ahead and that is why the coach expects a change in trend.
“I thank you for that truce to help us add to Eibar,” Ramis began, surprised because he had not even realized that the environment was focused on supporting the team for this duel. “We are aware that there are fewer and fewer games left. Nothing will be decided in the best or worst of situations, but it is an important day. First because away from home we have to give the level and because we have an important rival in front of us,” he said.
Eibar has gone eleven games without losing at home and Espanyol has accumulated seven without winning away from their stadium. A psychological problem that the coach tries to overcome by betting on maintaining greater control of the games. “In the last game we improved some things and that strengthens us (Victory against Mirandés). Outside the home we have to have the ability to not get messy. We work on having order and control, but we reach the rival goal from the break, something that we have not always achieved away from home. We have to work the game. Knowing that our strength is in that,” he summarized.
The victory against Mirandés has been an important balm for the entity in such an important week. The fans also look at the match with certainty and according to the coach, the players have regained confidence. “When you win the turning point exists. But we want these trend changes to continue, we want to give them continuity. We feel strong and confident. I am convinced that the players are going to translate it on the field. The rival is very powerful but we also feel strong,” he said. Finally, he revealed that Nico Melamed’s recovery is on the right track and he hopes that at the end of March he will return to the team dynamic.
