Baraja said: “I have to try to understand the questions you ask me and I have to respect you. And you talk to me about hypotheses and situations that I don’t know about and that I can’t assess .

“I don’t talk about hypotheses and back and forth. I can talk to you about how I feel and how I want to face tomorrow’s game. I can talk about how I feel and about my situation.”

On Friday’s defeat to Real Valladolid, he said: “It was tough, but because of the result. It was a game that was decided by a situation. We lack the goal, the important thing is not me or how I feel. The most important thing is the game tomorrow.

“Tomorrow’s game is what we have to deal with and worry about. I’m here and in a while, I don’t know how long, another coach and another president will be here. I don’t know. What will get us to change the situation and get closer to the goal, focus all our energy on tomorrow’s game to be able to win it and get the three points.

“The important thing is not me or other people, but the three points for Espanyol.”
