Although the Blaugrana coach specified that they would go on to win in Santiago Bernabeubelieves that everything will be decided in the return to Spotify Camp Nou.
Play in the first match Thursday, March 2, 14:00.In addition, the absence Robert Lewandowski, Pedro And Ousmane Dembele.
At a press conference the day before Spanish classicXavi stated:
It’s a Cup semi-final with the addition that it’s a Clasico. For us, it’s a title. For me, Madrid is still the favorite because they are the reigning champions of the Cup and Champions League. I think they are favorites, despite the losses and the Super Bowl, where we were very good. They arrive on time despite the draw against Atlético and I think Madrid are the favourites.
For Xavihis leopard still under development despite staying on top Santander League From Spain.
Yes, we won the title against Madrid and with outstanding football, but Madrid is Madrid and they compete in the Champions. He is the favorite, but we have a personality and players who can hurt them, and we showed it. I imagine a very even draw.
To try and win, the technician claims they must be “team bigger than ever” in attack and defense. “We have to have the ball and be main character with ball, minimize losses, because they give you chances in the transition period. It’s a game that we have to control with the ball.”
Thus Hernandezwho has a lot of meringue experience as a player, will offer a match similar to the match super cupwhere they won 3-1. “He’s a very tough opponent, sometimes they don’t dominate you, but they have transitions where they dominate and get two or three touches into your net. This is a very difficult opponent.“.
There are two games we are very happy to be here and it is completely different from La Liga and the Europa League. I think everything will be decided at the Camp Nou, but we will go out to win and show our individuality, this is a great opportunity to win another title.
In this first match, where the lack of attack Lewandowski, Pedro And demobilization weigh when looking for a goal, not everything is so bad, since Ansu Fati will be available. “Today he is back in training, feeling good and feeling good. I see him motivated and happy, this should be important for tomorrow“.
On a personal level, the technician addresses Bernabeu “with desire.” “It always motivates me to go to the Bernabeu.. I like to go there and try to play good games and take the ball away from them. It motivates me much more than any other type of match, this match turns me on. I would like to go play and touch the ball, but I can’tThat’s why I tell my players to be brave, because winning the Bernabéu is a very good feeling.”.
