Espanyol captain: Standing silently for ten seconds at the start of the game is a protest against La Liga s overseas games and demands respect and transparency

Early this morning on October 18, Espanyol defeated Real Oviedo 2-0 in La Liga. After the game, Espanyol captain Leonardo Cabrera talked about the protests against La Liga overseas matches when the two teams started.

In this game, players from both teams stood silently for ten seconds at the beginning. This move was intended to require La Liga to give a "respect and transparency" explanation for the Villarreal vs. Barcelona game expected to be held in Miami in December this year.

Cabrera said: "This is an agreement that has been reached among our players, although some people later tried to fabricate the news and claimed that the pause was for other unrelated reasons. Last week we requested a meeting with La Liga, but they were unable to arrange it. The date given was next week, and it is well known that seven or eight teams are participating in the European war and cannot attend. They will postpone it to next week, and all the tickets will be sold out, and there will be no room for maneuver on the matter. . "

"First of all, this is meaningless. Secondly, if everything is so transparent and honest, why don't you want to meet and discuss? La Liga also claims that it has paid 100 million euros to players in the past ten years, but the salary increases of some people have also been astonishing. The principle of fairness should be equal to everyone. "

"Perhaps Oviedo and us are the teams that are less affected. This is also for the two teams that are about to go to Miami. Our only complaint this weekend is Asking is for respect and transparency. "

Talking about the fact that the broadcaster did not broadcast the protest footage, but gave a panoramic shot of the stadium roof, Cabrera said: "We just wanted to express our opposition through silence. The broadcaster may have filmed the birds flying on the roof. I don't know how they handled it, but to be honest, I can't understand it. "

Talking about the team's victory, Cabrera said: "We could have scored earlier, but against The goalkeeper performed well and made many wonderful saves. What I want to emphasize is that the team did not get discouraged, the forwards got their shooting boots back and we kept another clean sheet. It was a perfect night. "

Talking about teammate Clemens Riddle, Cabrera praised: "He performed very well. Although the adaptation period was a little longer, he showed talent from the first day. Everyone should be happy to sign this very young and excellent central defender. "
