00:00 We are very excited to play tomorrow's game, a vital game for us.
00:06 We are playing against a team that has the confidence of the clouds,
00:11 that have done a great job, and I think it's time to congratulate them because they have made history.
00:16 It's a historic season for Girona, for Catalan football it's magnificent.
00:20 The season of the coach and the players is at an extraordinary level.
00:25 We are almost Champions, a Girona team.
00:32 We are going to congratulate them and tomorrow we are playing against a Champions League team.
00:36 I told my players that it's a high level game, with a very high intensity.
00:41 They are looking for an attack, something very similar to what we are looking for, which is superiority on the inside.
00:49 They have a lot of mobility, the four players that go inside, in that square that they make.
00:55 They have a fantastic counter-attack, a high level point.
01:00 For me it's a Champions team, not because the classification says so, but because they have shown the level they have.
01:08 For me it's an exceptional season for Girona and tomorrow will be a really difficult game for us.
