We will have to show it in the field, is very easy to speak. It arrives a moment decisive of the season", emphasized.

To his time, Hernández stood out how, after happening to quarter-finals of the League of Champions, seems to have gone back the illusion to do big things so much in the staff as in the Barcelona fans.

This yes, stood out the special and important that went this commitment for them. "I seat that it went out well, but also it could have gone out badly. The football is like this, like this of unfair many times. The trainer of the Naples did changes and did not carry the reward. It was a round night, magic. We remain us with the things that did well and those that no, will correct them to improve them", concluded.
