A threat that is the EU Cornellà, a team that does some weeks was able to give the surprise deleting to the Athletic of Madrid of Diego Pablo Simeone. Warned remains, then , a FC Barcelona that comes with the low morals after it sucedido in The Cartuja but that does not have excuse to advance to eighth of final of the Glass of Rey, something that will have to attain with the 'second unit' of Ronald Koeman (or what remains of her by the injuries).

"The day of the Supercopa does not serve to prepare the party. The context is different and understand that they will range to seven or eight that were not the other day, at least like headlines. We understand that will have an alike approach. They have to give all the circumstances in favour", commented.

The technician of the EU Cornellà showed ilusionado when having the possibility to delete to two giants, after attaining it already against the Athletic of Madrid. "If already the day of the Athletic was historical, imagine you to two. It would be a historical fact in duplicate. Incredible. It goes through our head prepare us the best possible", said, adding that "the Barça comes in good dynamics. Recortando Points to the ones of up and the other day had the final won until the 89. They are not so bad as it seems".

Eloy Gila, captain of the EU Cornellà, also spoke to remember that a new gesta in front of the FC Barcelona would be very complicated. "The probabilities to delete to the Barça are small, logically. You are playing against a rival of the elite. But there are them, of course, saw against the Athletic of Madrid. We go to try, with our game, that these possibilities are bigger", sentenced.
