Claudio Bravo on his best save, staying calm, and more...

Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo spoke to Hora B on Barca TV. The Chilean mused on various topics, saying the team was "calm, because we know what it takes" in the final stretch of the season. 

How is the team?

It's good, with a lot of enthusiasm for these important challenges, trying to keep doing things well. We know the potential of our team. We had some slips, some accidents that serve to make us feel the call to attention of not having a margin of error, but we're calm because we know what it takes.

How is it to win everything and then lose afterwards?

Football is trecherous. It seems that we were destined not to lose, but the story didn't go like that. Sometimes things don't go as planned or trained. It's pretty, what football has. Things are complicate and we have to work because our rivals always want to beat us. Everything is very complex. 

Gone back to keeping clean sheets...

It's important that we open the scoring and own the ball at all times. But in some games the film was different. We started to hury, to look for alternatives that were not those we usually look for. But in recent games the tranquility and calm has returned. We've gone back to our game, that has helped us achieve great things. 

Competition in goal?

We know why we're here and we think about contributing. We are three very different keepers. The coach has been able to choose what happens, but one always wants to compete. I always work to play, when I don't I support my team-mate. The team is very clear about this. 

Your best save?

Tipping a header over, in the first game of the Club World Cup, against Guangzhou. It was very cold, and the first dangerous move of the game was a high ball, very difficult to deal with.

Do you manage your social media?

 

I manage it. We are the owners of our things. It's good to express yourself... although there are times you should bite your tongue.
