#ParauladeMíster | Pre-match vs Nàstic de Tarragona
"Yesterday we had a recovery training session after a hard and long trip. Obviously with the frustration of the result but with the excitement of seeing that we were able to do many things well –except for the goal– against an opponent that was on a very good run and, moreover, on its field, but there is no time for much else. It's time to prepare for tomorrow's game, talk about the points of improvement that we want to see and the players are happy, engaged and eager".
"Football matches are always good. What we want is to play, we train to play. If we have a match every three days, then fantastic. With the desire to play well, to win and to do it the way we want to do it. No player or coach is bothered by matches".
"Oriol [Busquets] is waiting for the administrative procedures. If they are approved and he feels in good shape – he trained yesterday and he told us he feels OK –, he will have minutes"
"He is the type of player we need and he comes to order the team's game. He has a very high technical capacity, he knows what we want to play, so it will be fantastic for us".
"The matches are always the best ally of the coach and the training. We want to continue improving and perfecting. It is clear that the priority is the league, we cannot ignore that, but we have a football match and we are going to win it".
"We have a wide squad, I think everyone can play: there will be players who will repeat and others who did not play in Ponferrada".
"It is a very consolidated team in the category, with a very marked playing identity, very aggressive on their field and, in addition, they have the virtue of penalizing any small mistake. They are direct, vertical, what they do they do it very well and I think it will be a very competitive match like the one in the league".
"It is a decision that does not depend on me. I have already said it from the first day both in public and in private that I am here for whatever is necessary. If the club considers that I have to carry out this function, I will do it; and if the club considers that I have to take a step back because another coach is coming, I will do it too. I am aware that the club needs me here and of the responsibility that this implies, which is why both I and the coaching staff are working to reverse the situation".
