Espanyol do not attach great importance to steadiness: One year ago coach José Antonio Camacho had to go and Marcelo Bielsa took over, who, on his part, was replaced by Brindisi in October. By the way: Camacho has become Spain's national coach, Bielsa Argentina's. Before the new season the squad have been turned upside down. Those who left include central defender Mauricio Roberto Pochettino (ARG/Premier League?), Paraguay's national striker Miguel Angel Benitez, defender Joan Capdevila and goalkeeper Antonio Toni Jimenez (both to Atletico?). They should be replaced by goalkeeper Juan Luis Mora (Oviedo), central defender Sergio Corino (Santander) and midfielder Toni Belamazan (Extremadura). All these changes will not affect Espanyol's style of play. Within the 4-4-2 system they will play this typical Argentinian style: physical, determined, disciplined. Striker Raul Tamudo scored two goals in Spain's U21 match for the European Championship qualification against Holland (4:1). Last season, Espanyol was second in goals conceded in the strong Spanish league. -ba
Espanyol legt wenig Wert auf Konstanz. Vor einem Jahr musste José Antonio Camacho als Trainer Marcelo Bielsa Platz machen, der im Oktober seinerseits durch Brindisi ersetzt wurde. Übrigens: Camacho ist nunmehr Nationalcoach Spaniens, Bielsa von Argentinien. Im Spielerkader blieb vor dieser Saison kein Stein auf dem andern. Unter den Abtrünnigen befanden sich Innenverteidiger Mauricio Roberto Pochettino (ARG/Premier League?), Paraguays Nationalstürmer Miguel Angel Benitez, Verteidiger Joan Capdevila und Goalie Antonio Toni Jimenez (beide Atletico?). Sie sollen durch Torhüter Juan Luis Mora (Oviedo), Stopper Sergio Corino (Santander) und Aufbauer Toni Belamazan (Extremadura) ersetzt werden. Dies wird nichts an Espanyols Spielweise ändern. Im 4-4-2-System bleibt diese typisch argentinisch: körperbetont, zielstrebig, diszipliniert. Im U21-EM-Qualifikationsspiel gegen Holland schoss Raul Tamudo zwei Tore zum 4:1-Sieg für Spanien. In der starken spanischen Liga liess Espanyol letzte Saison am zweitwenigsten Gegentreffer zu. -lb
