Manolo gonzalez, the coach of Espanyolhe referred to the incident after which his player, Cabrera, was eliminated for hitting Lamine Yamal (Barcelona).
Lamine Yamal was essential for Barcelona in the victory obtained on the field of the Espanyol rival. He opened the score (53), and then caused the elimination of Leandro Cabrera, from the hosts (min. 79), before Fermin Lopez sets the final score (90+5).
Lamine was shaking on the cabrera, somewhere in the cherry, and he applied a fist in the abdomen, at which point the Barcelona player was left to fall and then spread on the lawn. The referee was notified of the lime cabin, reviewed the incident and then showed him “red” to the player from Espanyol.
Manolo Gonzalez: “It was not something for which he should have fallen and simulate a fainting”
Espanyol's coach, Manolo Gonzalez, believes that the star of Barcelona played a lot of theater, and at the press conference he revealed what he reproached.
“I told Lamine Yamal not to simulate and provoke things, that's all. It wasn't something she should have dropped and simulated. It was a blow by Cabrera, but Lamine exaggerated. It is very good, but it was not necessary to simulate,” Gonzalez pointed out.
He believes that his player “should receive only a suspension stage. He hit Lamine, indeed, but it is not a blow after which you fall.
Manolo Gonzalez: “Their coach was a gentleman”
Manolo Gonzalez also spoke about the attempt of the Barurna players to celebrate on the field, “extinguished” quickly by coach Hansi Flick. “The coach was a gentleman. He took the players and convinced him that it is better to celebrate in the locker room. There is no point in creating a scandal or annoying someone. He had common sense.”
Two years ago, Barcelona had paraphrased the title on Espanyol's land, and in the end there were incidents due to the Blaugrana holiday in the house of the local rival.
