Opponent analysis: “I expect a difficult match against a rival in great form, who also have the prize of the Cup final just around the corner. We know that we have a powerful team ahead of us, but also the support of our people. We need the points and we played at home. We came from a game in which we were very good and we want to continue with that line”.
Five points from relegation: “In the end, there’s going to be pressure. We have to look at what’s ours and improve the things for which we haven’t scored three lately. We’re doing enough things to do it, but there are expulsions, penalties… It’s a matter of competing better or worse and you have to make a profit on the merits”.
Forwards, more lively?: “The crowd was fine. Sergi (Guardiola) scored again and had chances to do some more. Catena, who always contributes from set pieces, scored again. We need the midfield and second line players to help us in that aspect. Now is a good time”.
Live the game off the bench: “I’ll do it with more nerves. The expulsion the other day seems like an excessive punishment to me. I said it at the end of the game and now, cold, I think the same thing. I trust the rest of the coaching staff and I don’t think this has any significance in the match”.
State of Falcao and Saveljich: “They will continue to be out due to injury. We don’t usually give medical reports, but they haven’t trained with the group yet and we won’t be able to count on them tomorrow.”
