Toril: “We have to be very composed and look after the ball”
“The key is going to be that we work as a unit, by attacking and defending together,” said Olga ahead of the game away at Paris FC (Thursday, 6:45pm CET).
Alberto Toril and Olga Carmona spoke in the press conference the day before the matchday three clash in the Women's Champions League, where Real Madrid visit Paris FC (6:45pm CET). The coach had the following to say: “It will be a difficult game against tough opposition who have their strengths, as we do. We have to produce a serious, competitive and well-balanced performance. We have to manage the ninety minutes well and know that there will be alternatives. We have to be very composed. If we're compact and solid we'll have a chance of winning.”
“Paris FC are a very quick team in transition. They punish you for losing possession in difficult areas. They're a team that attacks quickly, so the key will be to control and look after the ball well. The most important thing will be to attack and defend together.”
Olga: "We want to win to keep our chances open"
“We have a lot of alternatives, although we have a few players out. We're very motivated for this competition. We know what a great front line we have, but the key is going to be that we work as a unit, by attacking and defending together.”
“We know that, historically, this competition is very important for the men's team and we want it to be important for the women's team as well. We want to start writing our own history. But first we want to win tomorrow and continue to have possibilities in this group stage.”
