MADRID, 23 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Valladolid midfielder Anuar Tuhami assured this Tuesday that they are going without complexes to visit “a tremendous team” like FC Barcelona this Sunday because his team also has “great players to make the Catalan team suffer.”
“With the ‘great players’ that they have brought and those who already had, they have made a tremendous team and they are going to fight it all, but we have been a group since last year that has been forming little by little and that has had very difficult moments and He has made up for himself, has raised his head and has risen,” Anuar said at a press conference.
Therefore, Ceuta is optimistic. “We know our chances and that if we go for it all and with all the confidence of wanting to hurt them, we have great players to make them suffer, also knowing that there will be times when it will be our turn to suffer. We always have to believe,” he warned. .
The duel against Xavi Hernández’s men will be the third at a high level for the team, which has already faced Villarreal and Sevilla. “They are rivals who demand a lot from us and without being able to lower our concentration because with so much quality that they have at a minimum they make you a goal”, he commented.
However, last day’s tie at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán serves to “realize” that they can compete “in a difficult field.” “With our weapons we are not going to make it easy for any team. The point in Seville helps us believe in ourselves,” said Anuar.
Against Sevilla, they were not satisfied with the arbitration, but the Spanish-Moroccan made it clear that they believe “in the honesty of the referees”. “Whether it’s at Barça, Real Madrid or Valladolid, they try to whistle as fairly as possible. This is football and sometimes there are controversial plays and sometimes they will make mistakes and others it will be in our favour. playing against big teams benefits them,” he remarked.
In any case, the midfielder thought that the two plays that they complain about last day were “a bit key”. “In the first with Sergi (Guardiola) you see that he hits him and we thought that he was going to give a penalty and in the other I think that Ocampos goes with too much force and that he should be sent off,” he admitted.
“It’s something that bothers us and we’re outraged at the moment, but we can’t fight it, the referees make their decisions and each one has their own criteria and we respect it,” said the Valladolid footballer.
This, author of the goal in Pizjuán, also recognized that it was “very exciting” to score in such a “mythical stadium”, and that he has no problems in the position in which Pacheta placed. “Already last year he put me in that position and it doesn’t surprise me much, he believes I can contribute there and I accept it, he didn’t surprise me,” Anuar pointed out. “I work so that the coach has that confidence in me, that when he thinks it’s necessary to put me on, he doesn’t have any doubts,” he said.
