Bernardo: "To be higher we have to deserve it"

Bernardo: "To be higher we have to deserve it"

It is not a final, but tomorrow's game against Getafe at RCDE Stadium should serve to confirm the good feelings. Bernardo Espinosa (Cali, Colombia, 1989) is convinced that the team is on the right line, although he acknowledges that the margin for improvement in both areas is wide. The central, with renewed prominence after the arrival on the bench of Machín, is convinced that the dressing room will confirm its ascending line with results.

How is the dressing room behind the break?

We have taken advantage of these fifteen days to work to the fullest and recover the headdresses as best as possible. We want against Getafe to notice that we have been with the mentality of winning the game for two weeks.

Is it a final? You are penultimate with eight points.

It is not because if we win we will not take anything, only three points. What we know is that Getafe is an excellent opportunity to endorse the good trend of the team. The desire we have to reverse this situation is very great, but we do it from the maturity and tranquility of the workforce. The way forward is constancy and regularity.

What do you expect from Getafe?

He is a rival who has been doing things very well, an excellent progression and in football it is important to master all kinds of situations. He is a great competitor and we will have a tough opponent, who will demand our best version. In this sense, there are zero excuses. We want to demonstrate on the pitch the importance of this game for us.

Will we see a more defensive Espanyol to get out of the pit?

We all know the theory: if you don't receive goals you will score for sure. We have to avoid fitting in order to win, but this is not something that is changed on a key. Football is a lot of collective situations and each one contributes its grain of sand. What is certain is that we are closer to winning a match.

Although it is a clear pending subject.

In the last commitments efficiency has failed, both above and behind and we certainly have ample room for improvement in this regard. Although the feelings are more or less good because we are in the line that will get us out of this situation. We must demand more each day and show that we have that category.

Do you understand the discomfort of parakeet fans?

It is understandable that in the external forum they are concerned that they want Espanyol to be higher. We will be when we prove it. Winning is the most important thing in football and we will do it soon. We go game by game. We have two days in casay not obsess us. It is what we have worked for these days.

How is the transition to the Machin system being?

This is quite important because it is a very different way of playing and we have assimilated it well. We are closer to being more effective in winning the matches. Both the drawing of the master and the mentality of the group go hand in hand: we were fitting a lot of goals and lately we have made things much more difficult for the rivals.

Its role has grown radically.

Soccer is a collective sport and we go hand in hand with all individuals. The priority is the group and all of us who are inside this boat work to the maximum so that the results are the best. My situation is quite different from what I was doing at the beginning of the season. I have to be prepared every day to compete. I have always believed in my work and in my way of giving myself to the team and I feel satisfied, both when I have been participating and when I have not.
