Villarreal Women head coach Virginia García predicts an exciting game against newly-promoted Baleares FC (Sunday, 12:30pm CEST)
The Villarreal Women head coach, Virginia García, said this afternoon that it will be no easy task to secure another victory at the Training Ground in the match against Baleares FC next Sunday (12:30pm CEST, Villarreal Live).
Opposition analysis
“They are a recently promoted team, but they have very good numbers at the start of the season. We have seen that they are a brave team who play very well on the ball with an associative game. They have a mix of veteran and young players which makes them a team to watch out for in this division. It’s going to be a difficult game, but we have to take advantage of the fact that we have two home games and we’re coming off the back of a win. We need to get points at home and feel strong. Generally speaking, we’re a solid team in defence and we’re becoming more and more confident when we have the ball. The pieces are falling into place. We’re going for the win.”
Injury update
“Almost the entire squad is available. It’s essential that we gradually get all the players back. You can see it in the training sessions and in the rhythm. Having such a large and competitive squad will allow us to improve our performance in matches. We have recovered some players who have been injured and we are very happy with that. The more players we have, the more competitive we will be. After the victory the dynamic is very positive and the atmosphere is healthy. We have a very good feeling ahead of Sunday’s game.”
Assessment of the start of the season
“The assessment is very positive. This is a new project with 15 new players. It’s a question of time before the team gains confidence. The start is very good, but this league is very difficult and we have to continue to be consistent. Little by little we will see Villarreal strong at home and brave when they have the ball.”
Message to the fans
“I encourage the fans to come and watch us. We need the support of our fans. The players really feel it. It’s an extra point in our favour when we play at home. We will do everything we can to make the fans proud.”
