The Barça Atlètic coach, JulianoBelletti, celebrated the 2‑1 victory over CDArnedo, a victory that consolidates the reserve team's leadership position in Group 2 of the Second RFEF. The result, after a 2‑0 defeat against UEOlot the previous day, gave a boost of confidence to the squad and showed that the team is on the right path despite the challenges they still have to overcome.
Belletti highlighted the performance of his players in added time, underlining the patience and discipline shown against a defensive block that was pressing with many people behind. “The team had to manage possession and find spaces inside,” explained the coach, who highlighted the tactical and physical solidity of the team. According to him, the goals conceded came from set pieces, where the opponent took advantage of few opportunities, which indicates that the defense is also working well. “You have to value the victory, but also continue to evolve and improve,” he concluded.
The Brazilian coach took the opportunity to evaluate the debut of center back SergiMayans and the return of DaniÁvila, who has been injured in recent seasons. "Mayans was working hard before the injury and now too. We have a lot of confidence in him," Belletti commented. “Ávila, who is returning from injury, has brought a lot of rhythm to the midfield,” he added.
With this victory, Barça Atlètic maintains its leadership in the table and prepares for the next duel on Sunday at the Manresa Stadium. The team will have a week to refine its game and follow the path of evolution that the coach considers essential to consolidate its position and advance in the competition.
