MADRID, 22 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The women’s FC Barcelona coach, Jonatan Giráldez, has shown himself very happy about winning the Spanish Super Cup after beating Real Sociedad (0-3) in the final this Sunday, and has ensured that the “obligation” of his team is to make the distance between them and the rest of the clubs “bigger”.
“Winning any soccer match is complicated. The evolution of women’s soccer in recent years is going up and requires us to continue improving our version every year. What we have to focus on is our performance. The performance of women’s soccer It is going up in general, but it is our obligation to make this distance that many people say we have to make it bigger,” he declared at a press conference.
About this Sunday’s game in Mérida, the Galician coach was blunt in stating that they “deserved to win.” “Today the idea was to see how we were able to overcome his high pressure, which perhaps today has not been as active as on Johan’s day,” he said, referring to this season’s League F game against the San Sebastian team.
“During the first half we had options to attack in the opponent’s half, and we had the patience to find, positionally, the free player. We were more precise than in Johan’s match and the objective was to exploit the depth with our more advanced players. We are very happy at the level of play because we have shown that we deserved this title, and we already have it here”, he continued.
“We expected a similar approach to the match at Johan, because as a result they were close. Today they only matched up on the right side. We expected that perhaps they would be higher and more insistent on pressing, but we adapted in the first minutes and decided to readjust things so that the team knows where the advantages are”, he continued.
In a different order of things, he recognized that the loss of Irene Paredes, sent off against Real Madrid and absent in the final, always “makes it difficult for exit options, also surveillance and transitions”, but that his substitute in the eleven, Marta Torrejón , “She has played a good game” “(Torrejón) is a player with a lot of ability to be able to filter passes in positional terms, she has been very good, not as demanding as we thought she could be,” he stressed.
