Mircea Lucescu is a man who always shoots with a bullet and his statements rarely go unnoticed. In the press conference prior to the game against Barcelona, the Romanian coach once again questioned the current potential of the Blaugrana, “everything is more difficult without Messi.”
Barcelona comes with the losses of Piqué and Kun
“Piqué does not travel, but Eric is there. Agüero does not travel either, but he has barely played and there is Memphis, which has started very strong. It is clear that without Messi they are going through a very difficult stage. It is not easy to turn this situation around.
They also come with a new coach, can that be a motivational point?
“You cannot do miracles in such a short time. It doesn’t matter which coach comes now ”.
Is Barcelona now a more beatable team?
“Barcelona is Barcelona. Each player of them is of great quality, None of our footballers have billions. We have great players and we will see tomorrow “
After Bayern, which team is the strongest in the league?
“Benfica is proving in this league to be a more competitive team than Barcelona and they only got a 0-0 draw in our field.”
