00:00 I want to play a big role, I want my team to win the qualifier,
00:04 I want to show them that as a professional I am at the highest level,
00:08 and that happens by trying to beat Barça.
00:10 Playing for me in Barcelona is difficult, but at the same time it is a stimulus.
00:15 I want to play a big role, I want my team to win the qualifier,
00:19 I want to show them and show myself that as a professional I am at the highest level,
00:25 and that happens by trying to beat Barça.
00:27 To do badly we will have to give our best.
00:31 Barcelona is a club that has a high level,
00:34 collectively it is a good team, it will be very difficult,
00:38 but I think we are at a very high level,
00:41 we have arrived at a very good time and I am convinced that we can eliminate Barcelona.
00:46 It can be an advantage or it can be a disadvantage, who knows.
00:52 What is clear is that the game will be won by the players,
00:57 the team that has more ball and is more efficient in the important moments of the qualifier.
01:04 Our goal is clear, we are not going to speculate,
01:07 we are going to try to dominate Barcelona here and there and use our weapons.
01:12 If at some point we do not have the possibility of having the ball,
01:16 we will be able to defend without the ball and generate problems for the opponent.
01:22 But the coaches will not win this qualifier,
01:27 the teams and the players will win it.
01:30 I think it will be a great qualifier.
01:34 I don't think there are any fans or any player who doesn't know that it will be a disputed qualifier,
01:42 a very fair qualifier and you will have to be attentive every minute of those qualifiers.
01:49 So, the quarter-finals of the Champions League involve two very complex games.
01:54 We are going to try to win the first game, that is the goal,
01:57 to win the first game through our weapons.
02:00 And when we go to the second, the goal will be the same, to try to win the second game.
02:04 That is the way we have been doing it since the beginning of the season
02:08 and I think the players are very clear about it.
02:10 We are still evolving and within that evolution, the seven weeks are coming.
02:16 From the beginning, we had the goal of being a team that was willing to win trophies.
02:21 We are already very close, three of them, and in the Champions League we are where we wanted to be.
02:27 It is now about being able to manage those emotions, being able to prepare as much as possible.
02:35 We have talked with the players about preparing these two months as if they were the last two months of your sports life
02:41 and recovering, dedicating yourself to the maximum, eating as much as possible, resting, recovering,
02:48 training 100% to reach the best conditions.
02:52 During these seven weeks, that is our goal, which is being fed back with each victory.
02:58 The victory of the semi-final against Genoa still makes us swell the balloon more
03:04 and reach the best conditions for the Barça match.
03:07 Barça!
03:09 Barça!
03:11 Barça!
03:13 Barça!
03:14 (upbeat music)
