About this match
-My expectations for the game are indeed very difficult, but we are ready to compete, and today's test is great. They had some chances in the first half and their goalkeeper performed very well. We made some adjustments in the second half and had more control over the game. Our confidence is gradually increasing and we finally achieved a wonderful victory. I am very proud of the players' performance on the court.
Regarding the last minute change of goalkeeper
- we must be ready at any time. We are working on tactical and personal training so that everyone can focus. Goalkeeper Bizzot performed very well, both as a man and as a goalkeeper, and he accepted the role. When we had six players out today, the other players performed very well, and the goalkeeper who replaced Martinez was also very good.
About Buendia
-He knows how we are building the team and understanding the tactical layout. His position is clear and he has the ability to assist and score goals.
