Monreal: “We’re working hard to match our success last year”

Left winger Monreal held a press conference today at Hotel Golf Campoamor

(Review) “Following our great season, in which we achieved European classification, finished in fourth place in the League and reached the Champions League play-offs, we’re all very proud and pleased with our performance.”
 
(New season) “We’re just about to start a new season.  Our first goal is to win the Champions play-off, which is what we’ve been working towards.  Everyone is really excited.”
 
(Strength) “In principle, the team should be even better this year.  Last year we had ten more players, whereas this is now the second season we’re facing as a team, which should make a big difference.  We’re a lot tighter as a team and we all know each other more, which can only be a positive thing.”
 
(Recovery) “I’m feeling good, though I had to have a few days off, but I’m back to full fitness now and training with the group.  I’m ready to give it my all at the start of the season.”
 
(First match of the season) “We’ve got a practice match tomorrow, so hopefully all our hard work over the past week will pay off.  This match will help us to evaluate our performance ahead of the start of next season.”
