Smalling No arrepiente of the hit to Messi and says that only it played with "intensity"

The Manchester United-FC Barcelona left several actions stood out along the meeting. Both teams played with his arms and did what could for carrying the victory, but the culés did more and were better. The ball was Barcelona, the command also and the occasions that there was alone were against the goal of David Of Gea, that saved to his mates to receive a pair of goals more.

In one of the attempts of the barcelonistas for approximating to put it of the cancerbero Spanish, Messi tried encarar to Chris Smalling and finish in the floor hurting a lot of the face. A minute afterwards, already with the unemployed game, could see to the Argentinian with the entirely purple eye and sangrando. The tremendo hit of the defender caused him these wounds that, luckily, did not prevent him follow playing.

But although the fright did not go to greater, as it could not be of another way with a hit of these characteristics, the action has brought tail and days afterwards still goes on speaking of her. The own Smalling, causante of all the wrap, has given his opinion on the played and admits that it had to play to the limit to have something that do against the Barcelona. The footballer does not seem arrepentirse of what did. 

"We had to carry the party to an intensity to which they are not accustomed each week and played us a lot in the second part", affirmed the ex international by England to speak on the played with Messi. Although it does not say it directly, it is evident that does not have any doubt that what did is what it was necessary to do.

The FC Barcelona, in spite of having the balloon almost all the meeting and to create two or or three clear opportunities, to the margin of the goal, was not brilliant and cost him attack in front of the populated defence of the United. Smalling Thinks that this was merit of his. "We cancel them completely. I think that Of Gea only did a stop. We knew that we had to carry the party to a rhythm to the that they are not accustomed", explained.

Smalling Thinks that the United deserved some goal

It can that the central English saw another meeting from the terrain of game because it affirmed that his had several clear arrivals to mark some so much. The reality is that the few dangerous situations finished them concretising bad and Ter Stegen lived a very calm meeting. "Them presionamos and put them the things complicated. It was a pity not being able to mark a goal. I think that we believe some good situations of goal to having marked", concluded the defender.
