“Our girls work hard, and are very good players” – Nani Guiu

Female waterpolo teams CN Sabadell and Mataró have played this Saturday at the Pool Can Llong the second of three play-off matches of the Spanish League. The victory (11-7), and played an exciting game, which came to rest with six tie. The girls of the Maresme, led by Ru Tarrago, braved the super champions and gave no budge until well into the third period. Then one goal and one Peña Szucs of Hungary in their last match – with Whites, returns home to study veterinary medicine, began to swing the game. For Sabadell, is the twelfth league title. For current coach Nani Guiu, the sixth in seven seasons.

Guiu Nani was born in the district of Sant Andreu in Barcelona in 1963, and there began to swim, until at age 18 decided definitively water polo. At age 24 began practicing coaching at youth level and ended up being coach of men’s team. Spent eight seasons and went to Calella, where he finished taking the management of the facility, rather than bonding with water polo. And there could have continued, but one day I was proposed to be female CN Sabadell coach, team that has won everything. In his twitter account recalls having a Champions Mou no more than stick a finger in the eye to anyone.

Question. Has cost more than expected to win Mataró?

Response. No, far from it. In the first game in the pool and we made it very difficult and this Saturday we knew was going to happen the same. They are very good team, they have seven Olympic, between English and Spanish, and if we won is because we have worked hard. It has taken much traffic from the Champions to this end because it has not been easy to keep focused, but the team has brought the breed in these two games and has played with pride and intelligence. I am very happy

Q. Girls are more difficult for the group to get along or pure legend?

A. Yes, as it is more difficult, but also depends on the group. I remember in the Sant Andreu girls team only gave me headaches, I spent the day putting out fires and told me he would never be female coach, and look how things are. What I have now clear as coach of females is that you can not be a despot. There is still some coaches now in place some loonies, I have the feeling that you have to listen a lot. They also understand what line and play with it. I know when they are really tired. In addition, this group has long together. And above and everything works, everything goes out, everything goes well and have a lot of memories of all they have won, of all parties, the stories. And that joins.

Q. But they say they learned to win after losing.

A. Of course, we lost a lot before you start winning, they know better than anyone that the road has not been easy, you know everything worked.

Q. Did you cheat a lot? Is it true you are whiners?

A. No, not really.  But they know that when you say no, this is unequivocal. For me it is very important to be mentally well. They have a guarantee, despite the work that will arrive well prepared and know what they must do.

Q. How can maintain the competitive level when winning matches 40-2?

R. Because in addition to very good, they are very intelligent; are the first to know who played it though win by 15. Requiring of them, they know they can not play poorly two months and well in the decisive moment of the season, that’s impossible. It is not easy to keep the tension, but they do because they are very respectful of their opponents. Never make nonsense in the pool, has well understood that respect for the player in front of you passes to take the plunge and throw them 20 ‘s better to be complacent.

Q. This team is ready to lose?

A. We have to be prepared to lose. You are the media that speak that spent two years without a loss, the players and I learned you for you, do not fall into the accounts. But we have to be prepared to lose. Someday I will. But this team will be great even in defeat, because they are a luxury.

Q. Who is the best player in the world?

A. Jenny is very good. In the last World Cup was demonstrated. But it is surrounded by great talent, a great team. The Spanish would not be without Laura (the concierge), if he had a buoy as Maica, if it were Anni Espar without Pili tucked double buoy, that when you need a hand rather than decide and also plugs.
