#ParauladeMíster | Pre-match vs Nàstic de Tarragona
"The opponent is very demanding. We always say that the entire category is equal, but it is clear that when you face the teams above, they are even more so because they are really good teams. We are in the Nacional, we are with our people, who we are convinced that they will not let us down. We are playing good matches on our field, above all, and we are very eager and excited. Who doesn't like to play and win these matches? The motivation of all the people at the club is there, and we are convinced that we will see a good show and it will fall on our side".
"What scares me is that Andorra is not Andorra, but these 14 games that we are leading have amply demonstrated that. If Andorra is the Andorra of the National, they should be afraid. This is a football game and it can change at any moment, and that is why it is so difficult to maintain such a good line as we are taking. We know that we are facing a great team, that analyzes your mistakes, but that we will not change the way we do things. We want to command and sink the opponent with their game, with passes, looking to generate advantages, looking for combinatorial play".
"In the category, many games are decided by small details, and against top rivals and on these dates, I think they are games that are decided by these small things that are marked by those teams that are able to control their nerves a little more".
"The week has been perfect. We have Erik Morán training with the group, Josep Cerdà is rejoining the group today, so I think they are two important players who are coming to join us, and if we go through these two remaining sessions normally, they could be available".
"The season is long, we have been here since July 5, but we want to extend it as much as possible. We want to meet our objectives, and I think that makes the legs weigh a little less. The work that has been done is brutal, we have never had the feeling that FC Andorra lacked legs in the final stages, but rather the opposite, and this is due to the good work done on a daily basis, and the breadth of the squad with a lot of quality, who would be starters in many teams in the category and that we have established in the category. Where the legs do not reach, the heart will reach".
"The players want to feel the support of the people – who have already felt it throughout the year, obviously – but they want to see a Nacional as full and as strong as possible, and to return this support in the form of a good match and a victory".
"The quality and performance of Josep is fully explained by the season he is having. He has a fantastic performance, with enormous predisposition, with a very good day-to-day. He is a dwarf who has received 1,500 fouls throughout the year, who has missed matches because of these blows. Now that he has recovered, for us it is a plus, he gives us a little more. Perhaps the first match was the first good match with the FC Andorra shirt, moreover, in a demanding scenario. The minutes he plays will certainly be of quality, good, unbalanced".
"Nàstic is a very strong team physically, with tall and powerful players. I think they are a team capable of holding up to high tempos, that can come up to pressure us, but that has no problems with having the ball or sinking into their area. They like to move quickly, face the wingers who play inside, and from there they have the Antoñín breaks. Another strong point they have is their set-piece actions. We have to minimize these virtues they have."
