If something has characterized the Hypermotion League in 2024, it is extraordinary equality. So much so that only Eibar, third placed, has managed to achieve three consecutive victories. That is the goal of Luis Miguel Ramis’s Espanyol, spiritually renewed after the impossible-to-win feat in Ipurua after losing 2-0.
“Few teams are capable of winning three times in a row,” said Ramis, who warned that it will not be easy to extend the streak against Huesca. “We hope to play a great game, because we are going to need it. We will have to pitch in a lot. Huesca is in very good dynamics, it has progressed and its numbers do not correspond to the category it has,” he conceded.
In fact, the coach commented that the opponent seemed like a rival with difficulties in scoring away from their stadium, but recalled that “suddenly they scored three goals away from home”, in reference to the 0-3 that the Huesca team achieved against Mirandés. In addition, he added that the opponent has a “solidarity” defensive system.
In any case, the Tarragona coach assured that he sees Espanyol “capable of winning” and insisted that his players assume that “they must go to the limit both at home and away” to achieve good results. “The path is to continue growing. We will give everything to make the fans proud,” he said.
The coach recognizes that the victory in Eibar on an emotional level was “important because of how the match went. It gives us confidence and is an important symptom of where the players want to go.”
In addition to the three points, Ramis is worried about convincing the fans, who in the last two games, even after the victory in Eibar, called for his dismissal. “Going together makes us stronger,” he claimed.
Espanyol could end the day with the same points as Leganés, the leader, who faces Eibar, in a duel that will deduct points from one of the parakeet teams’ main rivals
