"Temporarily leading the team "Barcelona" Jordi Roura stated that he hopes his players will quickly forget the defeat in Milan and take another important step towards the Champions League in Primera this weekend.
"Now it is very important to calm down and play confidently in the Spanish league matches. The game is significant also because a victory would give the players more confidence and restore good form. I also hope that our fans will come to the stadium in large numbers, even though the match is late and the weather forecast is not very good. Fan support is important to us," said the temporary coach of the Catalan team at a press conference.
Asked about the mood after the defeat in the Champions League, J. Roura said: "It is completely normal - the players were disappointed and I understand them perfectly. I am not surprised at all that the players criticized themselves critically. It is very important how the team reacts to failure."
Assistant to Tito Vilanova ensured that on Saturday "Barcelona" will enter Camp Nou stadium with the intention to demonstrate top-level football again.
"I know that this team has always been able to bounce back after defeats," said J. Roura, who also did not forget to rejoice at the return of Eric Abidal during the press conference.
The specialist described David Villa's situation as follows: "He trained hard all week, which means that we will again have more opportunities in attack"."
