Ernesto Valvede gave this Friday the first press conference of the 2020 before the FC Barcelona visit to the RCD Espanyol. The culés play the derbi Catalan this Saturday in front of the 'pericos' with the mission to win to follow leaders in solitary of LaLiga. The blanquiazules are last right now, although they look forward to to give him the turn to the tortilla with Abelardo in the bench. The Barcelona technician does not trust and thinks that with the ex of the Alavés to the controls will be an Espanyol distinct and more dangerous.

"We fix us a bit in what it has done the RCD Espanyol in the last parties, but also in Abelardo and his teams, as it poses the parties. It will change something to the team, but are in a situation complicated. It is a derbi, the classification does not exist, there is a lot of tension in the game, plays with the heart and it is necessary to know play them. For us it is important because we finish the first turn and want to win by this emotional component that has", began saying the extremeño.

The 'Txingurri' also wanted to leave clear the important that will be to control the emotions for being a derbi and highlighted the importance to carry the triumph. "It treats that emotionally we are to the pair and afterwards control this point of intensity. In this point of rivalry always goes the intensity by on and it is necessary to control it so that afterwards in the football the one who generate more carry the party. That they do us little to be able to go to by the victory. Our intention is to face the party with win and go out strong", commented.

The one of Viandar of the Edge cleared that Ter Stegen will not be against the Espanyol and probably neither in the Supercopa, but did not say if it will have to operate. "It comes with some problems in the sinew from does a time and in a moment determined look that perhaps it would be drop by a time and has been now. Tomorrow it will not be available and for the Supercopa will be complicated. For afterwards we expect that it can be. Desconozco If it will have to operate. We have not spoken of this. Our idea is the one of that in this time these annoyances go ", aimed.

Net will have to be the goalkeeper title in the derbi and probably also in the Supercopa. Valverde elogió The faculties and the attitude of the Brazilian, that will debut in League with the Barça in front of the blanquiazules. "Has a big attitude, so much training as when it has touched him play. Like this it demostro in front of the Inter, had not participated and was to a big level. We do not have doubts with him. It touches him play and face parties complicated, but there is full confidence in him", recognised.

Valverde Spoke of the exits and of the signings

Leaving the crash in front of the espanyolistas to a side, the trainer culé also referred to the exit of Carles Aleñá. The ex of the Athletic explained the course of the canterano and left clear that will not go out anybody more, not even Arturo Vidal. "It has gone out Aleñá. It thought that if sucedía, did not go to be so prompt, but his agreement allowed it. The same that in August attain that it remained , now has the clause to go out. Now we have a player less in the centre of the field. I do not think in any exit more. We have those that have and with the ones of the B, Riqui Puig and more", signalled.

"Without Aleñá have a player less in the centre of the field. I do not think in any exit more"

To the thread of the section of exits, the 'Txingurri' admitted that it does not see problem any with Arturo Vidal, in spite of the rumours that situate him in the Inter and of the complaint of the Chilean to the club by a debt. "In the contractual appearances always there is some difference of criteria. This will solve and of an internal way. It does not seem me that it was the first time that occurs neither the last. In the daily work, knowing to Arturo all follow normal and trains normal. I do not see any problem", affirmed.

To the extremeño also asked after him Dani Elm, that is sounding with strength for the Barça. It seems that the Barcelona already have done an offer by him and that it will be one of the big aims for the summer. The trainer culé praised the qualities of the ex canterano, although it did not wet too much. "It is a player that already has been here. It is a good player, of another team, and do not speak of things that can happen. It is necessary to have caution with these things", said.

Arthur will not play until it was to 100%

The drop of the Brazilian is being longer of the expected, although the technician cleared that it prefers that it recover well to that it was renqueante during months. "The fact that it was not is a setback for us. We go to see if it can recover in the planned term, but would not like me that it was as the previous year, that went renqueante all the season. If we have to expect a bit more, we will expect, but we need it to 100%", explained.

Finally, the one of Viandar of the Edge did not want to ensure the presence in the eleven of Leo Messi and Luis Suárez. The two suramericanos only will train a pair of times with the rest of the group before the derbi, although all aims that they will play of start. "The same that the rest carried a work to do in his holidays. They arrived well, also Arturo Vidal. We go to see as they find today and will decide knowing the conditionings that have", concluded.
