Sergi Barjuan did not hide your satisfaction for having achieved the main goal, victory, in Kiev, and stressed the importance, especially of the “intensity of this match.” He explained that “there were a lot of people from La Masia and this was a club match” and assured that “this team vto go up ”. He considers the victory to be a “turning point” and pointed out that “I cannot be thinking about whether I will be there tomorrow or not, I love the club and wherever I am I will contribute the best I know.”
For the technician, It was very important empty: “In the talk before the game, as I am culé, I reminded them of the important that was the game for the club. There were many players from La Masia and it was a club match. I told them that, whatever happened, when we entered the dressing room we looked into each other’s eyes, the result was the least of it. The feeling had to be from the club, because winning we depended on us and we depend on us. I don’t know if it worked, but at least we won ”.
And for him “winning gives you strength. The dynamics gives you energy to keep working ”. He affirmed that “it was necessary to win, as Luis Aragonés said, civilly or criminally. It was very important, everyone knew it. And when you enter the dressing room you see that the physiognomy of the faces has changed ”.
Of the party, commented that “it was complex, because we were in negative dynamics, with injuries. We have been able to neutralize their game, we have dealt with it well and this team is going to go up ”. He explained that “i believe in work. Winning helps players to work better and to better perceive the coach’s message ”.
Referred to the dedication to ‘Kun’ Ansu Fati’s goal: “We have to help ‘Kun’, that the recovery is quick and we all celebrate the victory.” And about the Barça scorer, he commented that “he has that quality, the goal, and it helps to free Memphis and other players. When you can divide the focus to the opposing team it helps ”.
He explained that “in the first part, if we have had to run backwards, it is because they have tightened us very well and there have been internal losses and in the second part we have modified it. Dest was injured and we had to change plans and Gavi explained to him how we want pressure, what we want from him. A lot of intensity was essential in this game and with Gavi we lost more depth, but we gained intensity ”.
Definitely, considers that “sincerely, despite back and forth moments due to internal losses, we have been quite applied. This turning point in the end is to get to Vigo better emotionally and physically ”.
Personally exhibited enthusiasm but at the same time realism: “On a personal level, it is the milk for me to be here, in the club that has given me everything. I think the players they understand where they are and think about what they can do. When you enter a winning dynamic like today it can help to see what we have done well and what we have to improve ”.
Consider that “if I showed doubts, the players would not believe in me, the only way to go forward is for me to show serenity. I can’t be thinking about whether I’ll be there tomorrow or not. I love the club and we’ll see tomorrow, but if they doubt what we’ve done it won’t do any good ”. And he understands that “what I know is that I have to start working tomorrow for Vigo or else for Johan Cruyff. What I have clear is that, wherever it is, I will contribute the best that I know ”.
As for Dembélé, he pointed out that it is different: one against one, speed … I have put it before what we had talked about, because we needed it, and he has accepted it. The players who were touched have helped a lot ”.
