José Manuel Pinto

He's not that bad...he's actually quite a good shot stopper, its the corners that make him look like a fish out of water...

Pinto looks to extend contract next week

José Manuel Pinto told reporters this lunchtime: “if everything goes as planned, I think the Club and I can reach agreement next week to extend my contract”.

Pinto was clearly happy at the confidence the Club was showing in him: “we spoke to the Club about a month ago and they told us they intended to extend the contract for another year. I’m very happy here and I think we will be able to officially confirm my new deal within a few days”.

Happy with Guardiola extension

Pinto’s deal follows Pep Guardiola’s signing of an extension on Wednesday and the keeper commented: “the boss is the key piece and it’s thanks to him and his work that we have won so much”.

Pinto has stepped in to cover the absence of Victor Valdes and he explained: “nothing has changed for me. I’m working as I always do, but it’s true that when the fans are chanting your name, you feel loved and it’s an indescribably proud moment”.

Teammates’ confidence

Pinto went on: “the most important thing is the confidence the squad have in me and my work. As a rule, I forget what people outside might be saying – I respect it, but I don’t waste any energy on anything said outside of the dressing room”.

Pinto was also asked if he wouldn’t rather play in a side where he got more minutes and his reaction was very clear: “believe me, if I felt I would be happier elsewhere I would go. If I’m here, it’s because I could not be any better anywhere else”.

[IndoCulé]

Wohooooo!

[conorcasey]

He's not a very good goal keeper but I really like him as a back up for valdez because he never complains about not playing and gives it everything he got when he does play

[wreckxy]

Yea he is a decent back up to Valdes. Atleast he knows his place :)

[IndoCulé]

[FCB-Rizla-TML]

we all know how much of a joker he is

i am getting nervous for this final because of him.

i hope we se a serious side from him tomorrow

He been solid the past half dozen games.

Just need to limit the back passes...he tends to think himself a Xavi with the ball at his feet.

[bobo]

Yeah

[FCB-Rizla-TML]

Felt he had a good game. Key save earlier in the game along the ground. A few scares when he came running out of the net. The Ronaldo header was a good one and pinto almost had it. Hopefully next yr he gets to raise that cup.
