With Espanyol on the cusp of a 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid on Saturday, Atletico manager Quique Sanchez Flores thought he heard Espanyol captain Luis Garcia laugh at Atletico and tell teammate Javi Lopez to waste time. So, he got angry and posturing ensued.
Said Flores after the match (via Reuters):
"It seems unsporting to me, they were mocking us with this behaviour," he told a news conference after the match, which left Atletico in sixth on 20 points from 13 matches and Barcelona-based Espanyol in fourth on 25.
"It's important to know how to lose but it's also important to know how to win," he added. "I will accept whatever punishment that comes."
Garcia, however, seems to think that Flores has a screw loose.
"I think it was a mistake on his part, nothing more," he told reporters.
"I did not laugh at anyone, nor at a club as important as Atletico," he added.
"I did not manage to talk to Quique at the end of the game and only wanted to congratulate my team mates. I imagine I will talk to him."
What he means is, he knew Quique was probably waiting for him in his garage.
