Villarreal Women head coach Virginia García expects a tight day against Atlético Baleares (Sunday, 3:30pm CET)
Villarreal Women head coach, Virginia García, analysed the match against Atlético Baleares (Sunday, 3:30pm). This is what she had to say about:
Eager to turn the situation around
“The week has gone well. We have some important absentees and we come from a game in which football wasn’t fair to us. We are in good spirits and we want to turn the situation around. We are training well and the new signing is adapting well to the group. We want to show that we deserve more. Football is all about runs. This one is bad and we have to put an end to it as soon as possible.”
The rival: Atlético Baleares
“I’m expecting a difficult game between two teams with a similar style of play and a great need to win. They are also on a poor run of form. It will be a game in which we’ll both be looking to propose and have the ball. We have to dominate both areas. Both teams will be looking for the same thing.”
Atlético Baleares’ reinforcements
“The idea of the game is the same as in the first half of the season, despite the new signings. They have a clear identity. They are not going to change their idea. They have signings who have to adapt to the team and the category. The head coach is the same and the approach will be the same as always. The line is going to be the same.”
Marianela Szymanowski
“She can bring experience and maturity to the team. We’re looking for her to give us the consistency we’re lacking. She can give us a lot with the ball. I was a team-mate of hers at Betis. I know what she can give us. She will give us composure and knowledge on the pitch. She has to get into a good rhythm. She comes with the desire to contribute to the squad. The welcome from her team-mates has been very good. Let’s hope she adapts as quickly as possible.”
