The injuries keep on being leading.

In spite of trying park the subject by the fast road, the extremeño has had to extend, and in addition to ensuring that until happened the training of the Tuesday does not go to take the decision, has given some details on his perspectives: "To Messi will expect it the same that to the other. Sometimes we have done it with other players, include it in the list to see how goes".

"I am not adherent to risk with so many parties by in front, neither with Messi neither with anybody. If tomorrow it finish the League would be another question. If there is risk of injury, the players go with the hand-held brake and in a party like morning can not go with the hand-held brake", has aimed, adding that in spite of the collaboration of the doctors, are the players those that have to value as they feel .

"The most important is that the player say you that it is smart, By a lot of that say you the doctors or what indicate the proofs, if the player does not see to play have to it descartar. At the end the decision the takings you, valuing the risks, the pros and the contras", has concretised, underlining that the form to play of the Barça goes to be the same was or no the '10' on the terrain of game.

After happening the subject of the lesionados, Valverde has refused the favouritism that many award to the Barça, warning that neither in a Classical neither in a semifinal can give at all by fact. "In a semifinal there is not a favourite . It is an eliminatory open. Have very good players, have to the that believe the best of the world and they also to good footballers, also of the best. If it is Leo, will play and if it is not in conditions will not do it. But it does not change the favouritism", has insisted.

"In these dates, the calendar complicates . Already it came complicated in January and now arrives this semifinal that supposes two parties to a very high level, more the League and the Champions... It is necessary hilar fine, but are at the same time in a decisive phase. It is necessary to throw of all our players, so much in this party like the Sunday in Bilbao", has reflexionado when they have asked after him the calendar, moving away any controversy by the complaints of Santiago Solari and refusing also any doubt on the VAR.

And one well puts you in the glory. We are in a good moment, equalise a 0-2 to an upward Valency. And the fact to arrive in a good moment does that the eliminatory have a still greater inducement. We are with you win to face it and expect to the best Real Madrid".

Besides, it has insisted in that it sees to Philippe Coutinho like a mediapunta, and has revealed how fit the hit one of the big absent, the lesionado Jasper Cillessen: "The day that lesionó was badly. Had a lot of illusion in this Glass and in this semifinal. Already it is calmer. It is an important player for us. It is a penalty, by the level that was showing. These things are unexpected and had a point of bad luck".
