Goalkeeper Albert Jorquera has announced this morning that he is staying with the club “until the end of the season or until my contract ends” as the coaching staff have reminded him of how important a member of the squad he is.

Albert Jorquera has told the media today that “I will stay at the club until the end of the season or until my contract ends”.

The reasons

The player has said that he is mooting a move to “get more chances to play and gain in confidence by playing more First Division matches.” Nevertheless, Jorquera explained how “both Juan Carlos Unzué and the boss have told me how important it is for me to stay with the team and have reminded me that they know me well and know that I do not need to play many games to win their trust”.

Into competition

“It is the best ones who will play”, said Jorquera, who has yet to be told exactly what role he will play in the side for the rest of the season. He admits that he has not been given the chance to get any match practice after recovering from injury, and that “from now on I have to compete”.

Future options

The keeper has no plan to rush into making any major decisions at this point of the season. “I’ll have to think about it at the end of the season. Right now my mind is only on Barça and there is a lot to do before then”.
