Marcos Fernández: "These days have been important to grasp the manager's ideas"

Espanyol forward Marcos Fernández praised the team's training camp in Girona under new manager Eder Sarabia, saying the group is grasping his tactical ideas after scoring six in a friendly.

Espanyol forward Marcos Fernández spoke positively about the team's training concentration in Vall d'en Bas, Girona, saying the past few days have been important for the squad to understand manager Eder Sarabia's tactical approach and build team cohesion.

Sarabia took charge on 28 October following Manolo González's dismissal and organized the 10–14 November camp to implement his style of play. Fernández highlighted the "good feelings" within the group and said the players are beginning to execute what the manager demands in both attack and defence.

Fernández scored a hat-trick in Friday's friendly against Inter d'Escaldes, which Espanyol won 6–1. He said it was always important to score, even in a friendly, and expressed hope the work done in camp will show results in La Liga when Espanyol face Athletic Bilbao on 20 November at San Mamés.
