Alexia Putellas explains Barça's mentality before the final
The captain of FC Barcelona Femení, Alexia Putellas, has spoken to the media ahead of the decisive clash for the Supercopa de España Iberdrola against Real Madrid. The player has made it clear that her team approaches this match with the same hunger for victory as if they had never lifted this trophy, a mindset she describes as part of their essence. 🏆
The key: flow and execute
Putellas has pointed out that the decisive factor lies in maintaining concentration, allowing the game to flow, and giving maximum effort in every play to have a chance of winning. According to her, it is vital not to get distracted by past achievements and to focus completely on the present task. This philosophy allows them to compete at the highest level sustainably.
Pillars of the approach for the final:- Maintain renewed ambition in every competition, regardless of history.
- Focus on executing the established plan well and on the development of the match.
- Give one hundred percent in every action, from the first to the last minute.
"We face this match with the intention of competing as if it were the first time, seeking to do it excellently in every detail."
Prepare the mind for a great rival
The midfielder has emphasized the importance of psychologically preparing for a challenge of this magnitude. Facing an opponent of the caliber of Real Madrid requires being at maximum mental level. The goal, she explains, must be to process the match well and fulfill the strategy, not to think about a possible outcome ahead of time. ⚽
Keys to psychological strength:- Live the match in the present, without the palmarés influencing the preparation.
- Avoid any hint of complacency to ensure the best performance.
- Show respect for the adversary, but with absolute concentration on the immediate.
Attitude from the initial whistle
Putellas has conveyed a very clear message: although their successful trajectory might invite approaching the match with more tranquility, they choose to press at maximum from the beginning. In football, just like in other areas, if you don't act with precision and determination, you get stuck. Her team prefers to go full throttle, pressing the right buttons to not stop. 🚀
