There were five minutes left before the game started and the soundtrack of Game of Thrones was playing through the Montilivi speakers. At that moment the 400 parakeet fans present in the stands began to spontaneously ask for the board’s resignation. Six defeats in the last seven games had made them bitter in recent weeks. They did not know that everything would get worse, that minutes later their team would become a specter, an inert body, an anti-competitive team, a blue-and-white walker, and would suffer the seventh defeat in an embarrassing way.
Four goals in half an hour the parakeet team conceded. Manolo González could not find a possible explanation. After the first goal the system changed to protect the center of the field. With the second he broke up the line of five defenders. With the third he attacked his players. He spent the fourth time sheltered on the bench, completely resigned.
“Mercenary players!” recriminated the parakeet fans, who had to listen to Montilivi mocking his misfortune: “Go to Second!”
In that unfortunate half hour that Spanishism will take a while to forget, the parakeet team only managed to take the ball away from its rival 9% of the time, a figure that must be historic. The image was that of a team incapable of competing, completely disorganized and overwhelmed by the situation. “Mercenary players!”, the suffering blue and white fans changed the fate of their criticism, who had to listen to how Montilivi mocked his misfortune: “To Second!”, was heard before the break. Before the end the visiting stands had been almost completely emptied.
One of the worst streaks in the club’s history leaves Manolo González in a critical situation. Before this meeting, the Perica sports management had no doubts about its continuity. After what he experienced in Montilivi, his position is clearly in question. The weeks go by and the defeats do not stop. Only in the last four duels they have conceded thirteen goals, making them the team that concedes the most on average in the championship, with two goals per duel.
The image of the team’s impotence in the two derbies, key matches due to an emotional component, in which Espanyol was beaten in the first half hour
More important if possible is the image of the team’s impotence in the two derbies, key matches due to an emotional component, in which Espanyol was beaten in the first half hour. In Montjuïc he managed to correct his pace and finish in a more than dignified manner. Yesterday he never managed to get into the game. The match against Celta could be decisive.
