The Barca coach was very proud of “the image of the team” and the “harmony” with the Barca fans
“We conceded very little and if you score five goals, then happier than ever,” he said, satisfied
Jonatan Giráldez was, how could it be otherwise, very satisfied with the 5-1 win over Roma in a dedicated Camp Nou Spotify. “I’ll take everything, qualifying, winning 5-1, the atmosphere in the stadium, the harmony with the fans… at the sporting level, consistency at the offensive and defensive level was important, we prevented them from running and the sixth has been close. We must give value to this result and to the image of the team”valued the Barcelona coach.
On the roof of this team, Giráldez replied that “we will see as the remaining League and Champions League games pass, We cannot hide the fact that our aspirations are high because we are at Barça, but there are always things that can be done better. We were more effective, but we had fewer chances than in the first leg”, he recalled, although “scoring so early prevents you from making bad decisions and from minute 1 to 90 I have seen a very good team. It’s the way to go in the remainder of the season,” he analyzed.
In Rome and the classic the team won by the minimum, but “there was no concern in the locker room, because what you have to do every game is deserve victory and both in Rome and against Real Madrid we did it. I have a lot of confidence for everything the volume of occasions that we generate and we have to give importance to the defensive part. We conceded very little and with the five goals, we are happier than ever”, admitted the man from Vigo.
Happy for Rolfö and Jana
Fridolina Rolfö is in a great moment and forming a good tandem with Salma. Giráldez expressed that she “is working very well and because of her style, this position helps her, with a lot of ability to face, arrive and center. The relationship with Salma is a different profile, it gives us different things on an offensive level”the technician explained.
And about Jana’s debut at the Spotify Camp Nou he was very explicit: “Imagine, playing here is the best, what you can hope for the most in football. I’m very happy for her, it will give her confidence.”
No preferences in the semifinals
Giáldez, who insisted that he does not want to “add an ounce of pressure” to the return of the captain Alexia Putellas, had no preference over the opponent in the semifinals. “Both Olympique and Chelsea are among the best in Europe, it is a reality, and it will be difficult, but it is true that playing at home in the second game gives us a feeling of strength.”
