Barcelona's senior coach Ernesto Valverde is in no hurry to enjoy the huge lead to Real Madrid and the accompanying problems at the Los Blancos. Once again, the mentor shows his restraint. "We do not write off anyone. So far, the season has had some important moments: the reversal of Real Madrid, the two games against Juventus in the Champions League ... But hopefully, the best is yet to come, "Valverde said.
He was asked to comment on Jordi Alba's statement that if Barca were lagging behind the champions at 19 points, they would have been killed in Catalonia. "I do not know what would happen in such a situation," said the coach.
Today, he held a press conference on Espanyol's upcoming visit to Spain's 1/4 Finals. The duel is on Wednesday at 22:00.
Valverde has called for not to make a major drama about Usman Dembele's new injury, which may miss nearly a month. "It's not easy when you've had such a severe trauma before. This is part of the football and we will do it, "the specialist said.
He also talks about Luis Suarez, who began to score regularly, unlike the unbeatable start of the season. "Lewis can realize from every position. But he is not a classic "nine", but a player who knows how to create space for his teammates with his moves. Central defenders cannot easily handle it, "Valverde said.
Casper Silesian will be back in this match. "This boy is very committed during the training. He is a player who is completely dealt with in every activity and his strong performance is not accidental. That's his secret, "is the former coach of Athletic Bilbao.
