Hi community!
Míchel reviewed his squad's condition ahead of the match against Barça, always demanding and challenging. The Vallecas native assured that Oriol Romeu is not ruled out despite having a fear clause in his contract, as the two clubs are discussing the possibility of the midfielder, who is also suffering a personal setback and did not train with his teammates. Bryan Gil, Iván Martín, Van de Beek, Abel Ruiz, and Miovski, who returned from his national team with a knee injury, will be unsure. Problems.

The Madrid native admitted that the match will be very difficult for his team due to Barça's outstanding qualities, which he expects to be intense despite having little recovery time after the match against Osasuna. Despite this, Míchel wants his team to be brave and full of personality to be able to attack Flick's team.
Girona, who have gone six matches without a win, need to play well and pick up points to maintain a reasonable lead. Míchel, always optimistic, understands that the Blanquirrojos' entourage isn't optimistic, given the two teams' performances this season and their standings.
Paying for Oriol Romeu: “The possibility of reaching an agreement between clubs is due to the absences we have. We have to consider it, since the player has also had a personal problem and hasn't trained with the team. We'll make the decision before the match.”
Break: “We've trained well. Some haven't been with the group due to international commitments, but I'm happy. We've worked hard, and now I hope we put in a good performance because we need it. There are 10 matches left, and we need to be at our best to finish as high as possible in the table.”
Barça's pressure: "Flick has found a way of doing things that yields results. We opponents try to hurt our opponents, but it's complicated. Barça is the shortest team in the league and has the defensive line furthest from its goal, and that means that in a tight space, you have to play quickly and try to find balls behind you. Keeping the ball is also an added challenge."
How to stop them: "It's very complicated because they have so many resources to hurt. Lamine Yamal, for me, is the best winger in the world, and Pedri the best number eight. With those two, plus the depth and reading of Lewandowski and Raphinha, they're top-notch... And with Balde and De Jong breaking lines... It will be difficult, but we've worked on it, and there's a plan."
Pessimism around the team: "They're right. I'm never optimistic before playing, but looking at the standings and the performance of the two teams, it's hard to be optimistic. Hard work, however, allows you to take steps forward, and that's what I want to see from my players."
Good opportunity: “If we're thinking about going and playing because we have to play with our minds set on the next game, it's better not to go to Barcelona. The mentality must be positive, of course, because otherwise it's impossible to compete against Barça or any team. We have to be ourselves and be aggressive.”
Lamine Yamal: “How to stop them? The best way is if they don't have the ball. I don't plan on going outside of fair play against an opponent that gives so much to football. The best way to stop them is to have the ball and have them run after it. The problem is that having the ball against Barça is also very difficult.”
See You soon!
