MADRID 15 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The side of FC Barcelona Jules Kundé confessed that there is a desire for revenge in the Barca team after the two games in Montjuïc against Atlético de Madrid, in the face of the visit to the Metropolitan this Sunday with the league at stake.
“Of course, we did not like those two results because we want to win everything. And especially before a direct rival. In addition, I think that in those two precedents we have played two good games, but for little, for details, we escaped the victory twice. So yes, we want to go there and win,” he said in the previous meeting in the club media.
“I would say that we have to take care of the ball even more, to be more concentrated to limit the mistakes. Because they take advantage of the error of the opposite and are very well in counterattacks, especially. So we have to take care of these two things,” he added, after the league meetings in the first leg and a cup against Atleti.
The French explained that there are no secrets in his good form of form. “I train a lot to be able to be available for the club, for the team. So I am very happy with how things are coming out for the moment. But you have to continue working. I try to prepare my best. And that happens for a lot of work, to train a lot. In the end, football is my passion, but also my work. So I take it very seriously,” he said.
“I feel important. I feel valued. I think that since my arrival in Barcelona I have always had many minutes, a lot of play time. We like to play football, have prominence, to play the maximum. In the end, when we are in the field, it is where we enjoy more. So very happy,” he added.
Koundé accepted his lateral position in the Barca box, leaving behind his central stage but still thinking as a defense. “I am a defense, I have the soul of defense, but it is true that I like to attack more and more. Flick is very different from many coaches because it is very advanced and we play the out of play, but I have always had trainers who liked to go to press; so for me it has been easier to get used to this style,” he said.
In addition, Kundé was asked about Borussia Dortmund, rival in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. “It is a team that has a very strong front, very fast. It also has a 9 that is mobile, that can go to space, which endures the ball well. We have faced ourselves in the group stage, we have taken a victory, but it was difficult. We are waiting for two difficult games where we are going to have to play our best football,” he said.
“We are one of the favorites. By how we have finished the group stage and for how we have played. But favoritism does not help you win. You have to go with confidence, but having a lot of respect for all the rivals,” he added, before talking about a Lamine Yamal that looks in Barça sharing a band with him.
“I think we help each other, we both get along very well in and off the field. It is a pleasure Very happy to play with him, “he ended.
