Naples – Barcelona (1-1): “Unfortunately the planning has been like this” | Champions League 2019

Busquets regrets that the Barça squad is not longer and points it out with Abidal, who already suffered Messi's attacks.

When the most decisive moment of the season has already begun, the one in which the titles are really at stake, Bara is running out of players for tremendously complicated games. Sergio BusquetsAs soon as the game was over, he put his finger on the sore and signaled Eric Abidal that is touched again after his meditative encounter with Leo Messi. We are not a long staff, unfortunately the planning has been like this, complained the midfielder in Movistar's microphones.

A complaint that, with a little more left hand, also endorsed Quique Setin. We are aware of this and will work with what we have. Now you can not do anything, said the coach to be questioned for the small number of troops that will have to be measured at the Naples at the Camp Nou. We will not play with 10 or nine. We will find solutions to compensate for absences, said the Barca coach.

Busquets, after seeing the yellow card, and Arturo vidal, because of their expulsion, they will not be able to play the second leg on March 18. In addition, we must be very aware of the extent of the ankle injury Gerard Piqu. Ousmane Dembl, meanwhile, miss the rest of the season, Luis Surez still recovering from a knee injury and Martin Braithwaite He can't play in the Champions League. Setin, however, hopes to recover both Jordi Alba like Sergi Roberto, although both will be able to arrive at that meeting very fair.

“Patience issue”

It is true that they are few players, but we will be optimistic. We're not going to regret before they hurt us, Setin said in the press room. In part, he was satisfied with the draw started in San Paolo, but he also regretted that his team would fall at some point in excess rainfall. I will highly appreciate the defensive work that Npoles has done, with the 10 players very close to their area. We have not generated occasions, but we know that it was a matter of patience. With a little more, surely we would have found more possibilities to do damage, the technician said.

We have lacked that point of clarity to cross that defense that the Naples has organized. It has not been easy. In the second part there were more spaces, they opened a little more and we could have done more damage, but they have also made a great game and I take the result for good, he added. Now we have the classic, you have to rest and prepare it well, but the return, with more spaces, the bigger field and our people, be very different. We will have to win, aim Antoine Griezmann, the author of the goal of the tie, in statements to Movistar.
