Galloping crisis of Espanyol, facing the game tonight against Real Madrid mired in a depression that directs you directly to the Second Division. Bad sports planning, an unbalanced squad and a range of improvisations of the sports direction They keep the blue and white team in the last place in the league eight points from Eibar, a team that marks permanence and that today plays in Granada. Pushed by the rush after chaining two new consecutive defeats (Levante and Betis), Chen Yansheng has once again sought a desperate reaction with a new change of coach. Gelu Rodríguez, Abelardo’s agent, received a call during the early hours of last Saturday from China in which the president of the Blue and Whites’ club informed him of the coach’s dismissal.
New lurch from the governing body of the entity, which this past Thursday was studying a possible contract extension Asturian with conditions that varied depending on the category in which the team will play next year. There was no patience for Mr. Chen, who has already accumulated six coaches and four sports directors since he took the majority of the shares in November 2015. Rufete, sports director of the club, will be in charge of the team until the end of the season, directing a template made by him (60 million invested that they have not made Mario Hermoso or Borja Iglesias forget). He will become the entity’s fourth coach in the same year after David Gallego (five points in eight league games), Pablo Machín (five in ten) and Abelardo (14 in 13).
Very edgy atmosphere
The results have dynamited the patience of the fans, who after the defeat against Betis exploded with virulence pointing to the team. The facades of RCDE Stadium and Ciudad Deportiva Dani Jarque dawned yesterday with graffiti insulting and threatening footballers. “You will run what you have not run on the lawn”, “Less social networks and more values”, “Playing with our passion carries consequences. Barcelona is very small»Or« Spanishism will not forgive. We will die killing! » are some of the harsh warnings that decorate the outskirts of the stadium in Cornellá.
