Ernesto Valverde: ‘It will be key to overcome Athletic’s high pressure’
The Blaugrana coach, at the press conference prior to the match corresponding to week seven in the League, emphasised the personality of the team coached by Berizzo
"One of the keys of the game will be to overcome the high pressure of Athletic,” Ernesto Valverde repeated on more than one occasion in his pre-match press conference before the match against the Basque side (4.15pm CEST). Eduardo Berizzo’s team "have a lot of personality and always want to dominate the game with the possession of the ball,” the Barça coach added.
Valverde explained that the characteristics of Athletic are different from Barça’s previous rivals: "It will be an intense match. Athletic are a team with a great will and will come looking for us.”
Extraordinary attitude
“My team have always had an extraordinary attitude. Whenever we have conceded a goal, we’ve reacted. It's true that we have to improve, even when we win games," Valverde also explained.
