Present at a press conference after the victory snatched (1-0) by his team against Girona on the first day of the Champions League, Luis Enrique acknowledged that not everything had been perfect during this first European meeting. Technically imprecise, the capital club also distinguished itself by a lack of offensive realism. “I think the match was heavy, tough for us because it was imprecise. And when you start a competition like that… We missed easy passes, Girona defended very well and showed why the club qualified for the Champions League. Girona knew how to get out of the pressure a few times.”assured the Spanish technician.
Asked about the nature of this encounter, the former Barça coach then offered a funny comparison, summarizing this clash as a… birth. “Tonight (Wednesday), we had 70% possession against a team that usually has it and that I think can qualify for the rest of the competition. I really liked our second half, the technical and physical rhythm was much higher than Girona and we had 2 or 3 chances to score. Girona felt it. But I suffered a lot during this match, more than during childbirth and I witnessed several even if I was not the main protagonist”.
