After a spotless path in the start of season, the FC Barcelona has fit his first trip of the course with the visit of the Girona to the Camp Nou. In spite of beginning winning, the Barcelona have had to sobreponerse to a red to Clément Lenglet and a doublet of Christian Stuani, and finally have attained to keep the leadership in LaLiga saving a tie.

In the room of press, one of the most repeated questions to Ernesto Valverde has been on his opinion of the expulsion of the French: "it has conditioned Us, we have had bad fortune to fit the tie at the end of the first time. It conditioned us a lot, we have not been able to trace back. There is an encontronazo clear, and seems that it gives him with the elbow. It is the first expulsion in which the player to the that do him the fault asks pardon. I suppose that the VAR does justice, but have the feeling that it is not expulsion. Possibly there is some impact. I do not think that it have been an aggression neither of far. It is fault of the rival".

"In the field thought that it consulted the VAR to value the entrance of Pere Pons to Lenglet, no the other way around. This thought I. When I have seen card and fault against, has surprised me. I have seen it by television and results me difficult consider this an aggression. It is truth that is an odd fault because it is a defensive position of Lenglet. I have seen that Pere Pons excused, so it has me extrañado. It is necessary to accustom to some things of the VAR. Still it has his claroscuros and still have to lidiar with this. The VAR does not finish with the controversy", has insisted.

"It thought that it looked the VAR to value the entrance of Pere Pons to Lenglet, no the other way around"

Act followed, the trainer has justified the reason of his tardanza in the change of Samuel Umtiti, first explaining his plans with the one of Yaundé and afterwards assuming it as an error of calculation: "Once that think in doing a thing and expect you, sucede the law of Murphy and you arrepientes of everything. But it is like everything. It thought that it had to give him more minutes of warming and were controlling. It has been a played isolated"

"I commanded to heat to Umtiti to do the change before the rest, but had to give him margin so that it heated and not to play it to me and that had a mishap with him because it left us without spares. It went to do the change, saw that it did not happen at all and decided to expect to cover and not running risks. Afterwards, when seeing the goal, think that why did not do the change. It has been an error on my part", has sincerado.

Valverde Regrets the effectiveness of the Girona

Further of the played key of the clash, Valverde signalled the importance of the effectiveness of the Girona. In addition to standing out that it has taken out some positive conclusions of the rotations, has elogiado to his men by his capacity of reaccion and for having dominated a meeting in which they have had to play it in numerical inferiority.

"The party had it quite controlled. They played us to the against, with the speed of Portu and the state of form of Stuani. They have done us an occasion. They were closed and open the marker and had it all controlled. It has arrived the expulsion and remain you with ten conditions you. More than the expulsion, the goal at the end of the first time and the goal to the beginning of the second", has underlined.

"In hardly five minutes happen to go winning to go losing 1-2. They reinforced and they forced us to risk with one less. With the 2-2 had margin because they wanted to explode the against, but the 3-2 did not arrive. More than by the expulsion, the party has remained conditioned by the goals, that arrived in key moments", has resumido.

To finish, the Txingurri has preferred to centre in the most hopeful questions of the performance of his against the rojiblancos: "In front of the adversity, need push. I think that we have had it. We have carried the weight of the party in spite of being with ten players and have surpassed the adversities of the party. The team has pushed, has engaged and the public has pushed us. We were very near to win. It was missing to adjust in some played. It was difficult to save all this wall. I think that the team has had a big attitude and is a penalty leave us these points".

"Always we want to win and whenever we do not do it, have the feeling that we leave us points. In spite of being with ten, think that had opportunities to do it. They are questions that occur along a season, in which it is necessary to surpass difficulties like the one of today", has regretted.
