The Villarreal Women coach has analysed the upcoming clash against Real Oviedo (Saturday, 4pm CEST)

Villarreal Women coach Jordi Ferriols spoke to the media on Friday to discuss the current form of the Yellow team ahead of their match against Real Oviedo this Saturday at 4pm CEST on Field 5 at the Ciudad Deportiva José Manuel Llaneza.

Team condition

“We are doing very well. We arrive in good form. Also, against Osasuna it was a good game. It’s a pity we were eliminated from the Copa de la Reina against Valencia CF. It’s true that this week we’ve reduced the training load, but I see the team motivated and eager to keep growing strong at home. That’s the way forward.”

Analysis of the start of the league

“I’ll repeat the message: we are in a good place. The behaviours and habits are clear. We have to keep going down this path, focused and ready for what’s coming. We need to be strong at home against Oviedo and continue on the same line.”

Full focus

“All the players are very focused. The group is united, and that’s what matters. For example, Sara Medina recently scored two great goals that gave us an important victory against Osasuna. We are very happy.”

Next opponent: Oviedo

“They are a very tough team. They are solid without the ball, and they’ve kept five clean sheets in recent matches. We will try to play our football, create chances, and take them, as we have done so far.”

Key points

“Defensively, we must maintain our standards. Oviedo runs a lot. We have to be ready to provide cover for each other. We need to believe, keep a strong mentality, and be prepared.”
