   MADRID, 22 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The FC Barcelona Women's coach, Jonatan Giráldez, said this Monday that the Joan Gamper Trophy that they will play this Tuesday (8:00 p.m.) against the French Montpellier Herault is "a match of the highest level" that will serve "to test things" ahead of the start of the new season, a duel for which "the response of the fans" culé "is no longer a surprise".

"We face it with the intention of trying things, it's a key moment of the season, even though it hasn't started yet. It's a top-level game to try things, train them later and correct them," said the coach in statements to the club's media Collected by Europa Press.

The azulgrana team faces this Tuesday the penultimate of its friendly matches to prepare for the new course. In their summer commitments, Barça were unable to beat Bayern Munich (2-1) and later in the fight for third and fourth place they did not go beyond a draw against PSG (1-1), whom they beat in the round of penalties.

Now, this new edition of the Joan Gamper Trophy will also serve for the adaptation of the youngest. "Their adaptation is being simple, they are very intelligent, they help us. They are capable of maintaining such a high pace, they can have minutes, the season is very long. It is an opportunity to have minutes, distribute minutes, from there we will see", commented.

In addition, Giráldez valued the "few training sessions" of the signings Geyse Ferreira and Lucy Bronze. "They are understanding their role perfectly, it is important that they connect with the group and think about what they can bring us. We have a lot of training, they are two players who will help us," he added.

"The response from the fans is no longer a surprise. People are liking what we do, we are happy because there can be a great atmosphere, we hope to give them a victory," settled the coach on the positive support of the Catalans fans.
