Espanyol boss defends Kameni (01.11.2005)
Espanyol coach Miguel Angel Lotina has defended Cameroon goalkeeper Carlos Kameni, who was blamed for a 2-0 defeat to Spanish league leaders Osasuna on Sunday.
"When you lose the whole team loses," Lotina told sports daily Sport on Monday.
"It wasn`t Carlos`s afternoon but everyone is responsible for the defeat and he is confident that it was just an off day."
Kameni seemed to have David Lopez`s 29th minute cross covered, as he ran backwards to catch it under the bar.
But the linesman subsequently declared a goal, as he ruled that Kameni`s momentum took him and the ball over the line.
Television replays were inconclusive and Kameni was angry about the volte-face by match officials.
"I don`t understand why the
referee let the game go on for a few seconds and then stopped everything to declare a goal," Kameni complained.
The Cameroon goalkeeper then miskicked a ball in the second half, which gave compatriot Achille Webo the chance to lay on a pass for Inaki Munoz to score the second goal.
Sunday`s defeat left Espanyol second from bottom in the table with eight points from 10 games.
Lotina, who led Espanyol to fifth position last season, said he will focus on getting better results for his club.
"I am not worried about my position. Coaches carry out their jobs until a boss says he doesn`t like our tie or our haircut.
"All I care about is that the team didn`t respond today but I am sure that with hard work the points will arrive soon."
