The first team coach spoke before the semi-finals of the Copa Catalunya against Girona
#ParauladeMíster | Prèvia vs Girona
"I don't think a football match is a bother; on the contrary, we like to play in all competitions, we like to win. We have a First Division opponent coming here to the National League, so for us it's a fantastic challenge for the fans to push, for the fans to play. The message is to play a good match, win, enjoy it to the fullest, push hard as always, be brave, take risks, and not be bothered at all, on the contrary."
"We're playing against Girona, we're playing against 11 players. Whether it's the first team, the reserve team, the youth team, or the U14 B team, it's exactly the same to us. We're going to play our game; this problem isn't ours. We're very clear about what we're going to do, which is to go for the win and seek a place in the final."
"In the end, what we're looking for is to benefit from this match. To benefit because it's an official competition and because we obviously want to win it. And on the other hand, we're aware, it's very clear that, like Girona, I suppose, the priority is the league competition. Our priority is Tarazona on Sunday, but we need this match to benefit us in terms of playing time for players who perhaps aren't getting as much, or for young players who might have potential."
"We're going to field a competitive starting eleven, one that's also completely recognizable. I'm convinced that when people see the starting eleven that we already have more or less outlined, or that we already have more or less in mind, they'll say, 'Come watch a good game of football,' and they'll leave the Nacional happy."
"It could be Oyer and ten others, obviously. Oyer, in the end, is a footballer, a goalkeeper who has performed very well when he's played with us, but now he's playing less, but obviously he could be Oyer and ten others."
"Regardless of the team we're facing, we know we're facing a certain way of doing things. I think they also want the pilota, they want to be offensive. If first-team substitutes come in, they want to earn a starting spot. If reserve players come in, they want to attract attention and knock on the doors of the first team. So we're talking about a high-level opponent that wants to have the pilota."
"The schedule is what it is. I don't know if it's detrimental or not, possibly due to work issues, if there are people who might miss out on watching the game. I don't know to what extent we have this control, but I understand that the federation is the one who sets the schedule."
"I believe that FC Andorra, wherever they go, whoever they play against, whether they're playing a friendly, a league competition, a Copa del Rey competition, or a Catalan Cup, what they have to do is go out to win. And that's what we have to do, go out to win. Go out to win this competition, go out to win first in front of our fans, with the desire to play a good game and put in a good performance."
