In statements conceded this Friday in previous press conference to the Leganés-Barcelona, Ernesto Valverde spoke on the commitment of this Saturday and also analysed the hard calendar that expects him to the FC Barcelona before Navidad, with a month of November in which it will play a lot of parties far of the Camp Nou and, all they, of a big difficulty in League and Champions.
"What concerns us of Leganés is that they do him few goals, home only fit in one of five parties. I see it in the line of the Girona, teams solidarios that believe in what they do, defend well, is very difficult to mark them and have a big enthusiasm", signalled the technician, that referred also to the calendar. "We initiate a very important cycle of here to final of year, with three important parties was (Valencia, Villarreal and Real Madrid)".
"The past year lost points in this type of fields"
It does not value the continuous rumours on signings. "I have lived quietly the stop of selections, without giving greater importance to the news on possible typical signings of these dates. It is product of these 15 days that go out so many names". Vermaelen Can be headline in front of the Leganés. "The injuries never can them foresee, have four good head offices and trust all, Hammered, Umtiti and of course in Vermaelen".
They asked him on the 'derbi' Athletic-Madrid, and this was what answered: "I do not have any doubt that afterwards it plays a derbi important, but the party that matters us is ours. After this day, will remain 26 parties for playing , so the distance will not be determinant".
It does not foresee that Luis Suárez go to go through the operating theatre. "It is very well, the past week did a special treatment, and this week is strong and very active. There is not any forecast to operate him", commented Valverde, that did not want to value neither the possible signing of Griezmann, although it recognised that it is a big footballer. "It is a big player, but remain me with which have and the future already will see it".
"I the feeling that have is that to this staff him leftover talent"
Ernesto Valverde has Denis Suárez for the rest of the season 2017-18. "It is a player more than the staff. It is true that has played in some parties and in others no, but I have he for the parties. That it go out saying a thing or another in a newspaper is not something that have to comment". And, in spite of the injury of Mascherano, the Barça does not pose reinforce with a central. "We have to be honest and a staff as ours with four big head offices is very covered. That arises an unforeseen, as already we will solve it. Have also to the B".
The Barça expects no 'puncture' in Butarque. "We are in alert in this type of parties. The past year lost points in this type of fields that cost a League. It does not have so much glamour play against the Leganés that against the Athletic of Madrid, but have to apply us, recognise to the rival and know that it goes to be complicated. It concerns us the Leganés, is the big team that have to tomorrow and have four days to recover us before playing in front of the Juve", argued.
The Barça only thinks in following winning
The party of Valencia against the Espanyol will have a special follow-up by part of the technical body of the FC Barcelona. "Yes, because it is our next rival in the League and will arrive cooler", remarked. And it is opened to that they arrive more signings in the market of winter. "Any club of the world is opened to the possibility to improve his staff. We are happy with what have, but neither go us to close doors because yes".
Some players arrive loaded of minutes with his selections. "It is true that Luis Suárez has not played and that Read only has played a party, but Hammered comes to play 90 minutes, Vermaelen 180, Umtiti...", it said, adding however that to the FC Barcelona him leftover talent. "I the feeling that have is that him leftover talent".
And it asked to the fans that do not concern with regard to the future of Leo Messi. "That they do not concern , that see to play to Messi and will darse that he is not concerned". And, it showed conclusive when they asked after him a result for the Athletic-Madrid: "If we win, the rest gives us the same. Have the two teams to eight points. The key is in us, if we win, the key is in us. The same that we think that there is not at all won neither at all stray, the same think the others".
