The situation of RCD Espanyol in LaLiga Santander is really complicated
After surrendering to RCD Mallorca in Son Moix during Sunday's noon, the men of David Gallego occupy the penultimate position in the table. That is why, coinciding with the international break due to national team commitments, we will have to be aware of the situation of the blanquiazul coach.
There are many critical voices about Gallego's work at the helm of the perico project, although it is true that not all the problems are caused by the figure of the coach. Espanyol is lacking the defensive security that characterized them in previous seasons, as has been demonstrated in one of the goals scored by the bermellones (specifically, the one by Salva Sevilla).
In fact, according to a statistic published by Pedro Martín from Cadena COPE, Espanyol is the team that has worsened the most in LaLiga from one season to another (from the 2018-2019 to the 2019-2020). The Catalans have obtained 9 points less in the first 8 matches of the competition, since last season they got 14, compared to the 5 they currently have.
There is no doubt that there is still a long season ahead to reverse the delicate and complicated situation of the blanquiazules in LaLiga Santander. Rumors are starting to circulate about the possible hiring of Pablo Machín, former coach of Girona FC and Sevilla FC, to replace David Gallego on the bench. Will RCD Espanyol be able to recover after the national team matches?
