Seven fixtures down in 2012/13 La Liga season, Espanyol are deeply rooted in relegation slots, having a difficult time coping up with rigours of top flight competition.
The penultimate La Liga season easily characterized Espanyol as a youthful and exuberant side. For better or for worse, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mauricio-c24899 Pochettino addressed the lack of experience in his numbers, reinforcing the dressing room with players of extensive playing minutes
on their back.
Space was made for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joan-Capdevila-c18631, in roster. In spite of their great achievements on their resumes, Pochettino has yet to profit from their influence on the first team. The trio have yet to shake the statisticians with their performances,
waiting on the sidelines for their chances.
The Spanish-Argentine coach is renowned for making his decisions based on performance and behaviour of players in training, preferring to ignore the names of his players. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-Kameni-c8464 are there to give proof of the manager’s regimen for
selecting first team players.
Pochettino has reaffirmed his style in the seven domestic fixtures of the current season, again showing that he does guarantee anyone a place in the starting eleven.
As a result, the much travelled stars are a having a difficult time adapting to life in Catalunya. Simao Sabrosa is the embodiment of the said statements, failing to find his stride while also being troubled by physical fitness issues.
So far he has played three games, starting two but has yet to complete any. Despite being the star signing of the campaign, he was left at Cornella last weekend as Espanyol travelled to Valladolid. Pochettino has questioned the performance and attitude of
the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 player, and hence dropping him from his plans against Miroslav Djukic’s charges.
On the other hand, Joan Capdevila has had his opportunities limited thanks to his weight problems. At 34, he has played a part in five games, but has made two starts for Espanyol with Mauricio Pochettino preferring to go with young Victor Alvarez.
Misfortune struck Diego Colotto in preseason and it has continued with the veteran player since then. The preseason injury truncated his start of the league campaign, with his debut coming against Valladolid, just before the international break. Pochettino
looks to be satisfied with his performance on the n night as he partnered Hector Moreno in central defence.
