Valverde: "That they are calm with Messi, I see him very well"

In statements conceded this Monday to the media in press conference, Ernesto Valverde showed optimist regarding the possibilities that the FC Barcelona win LaLiga Santander 2017-18 of mathematical form in the next days. For this, will be essential to achieve the victory in front of the Celtic of Vigo this Tuesday in Balaídos.

"We have confronted us thrice this year to the Celtic, is doing a good season, fight for going in in Europe, know what remains us to be champions and what play they. The reference of his results in front of us other years is valid and also his results in front of teams of the high part of the classification", has thought the 'Txingurri' on the dangerousness of the rival.

The Barcelona will do rotations against the Celtic, with the aim to freshen the legs of some of the players that more minutes accumulate during the last commitments. "We will do changes in the team in Vigo, think that is an important week and that the team needs them. I do the changes in function of the result and have the norm of not having a lot of haste in doing the first change, have experience and think that does not go us so bad".

"The team is encouraged because the victory in front of Valencia was important"

Valverde Does not want to advance events regarding the possible goodbye of Andrés Iniesta, that still has not produced . "In this life lives of extremes, sells much more, it is necessary to coexist with this. Of the goodbye of Iniesta do not have to advance me until he do not pronounce , although the club always throws to forward although they go players".

The Barça is encouraged to sentence the title of LaLiga by the fast road. "The team is more animated, do not go us to deceive, because the victory the Saturday in front of Valencia was very important. We have to be strong and this week have the possibility to win a title", see to the team well", ensures Valverde, that remarks the good physical state in which it finds Leo Messi. "That it rest Messi is a possibility like any another, I see him well, he another day did a good party, can be calm in Argentina".

Coutinho, the perfect relief of Iniesta

Philippe Coutinho can finish being the perfect relief for Andrés Iniesta in the FC Barcelona. "Coutinho Can play in the two positions, of interior or of forward, as Iniesta. As has this spark and a shot that can take out anytime, seems a forward, but tambiñen plays for backwards. It is important that the contrary do not locate it", signals.

And it is that the manchego was relieved of the field the past weekend, and could not being headline in front of the Celtic of Vigo. "It depends on each party, but with Iniesta, as it has had muscular problems, likes me dosificarlo, depends also of lasa curcunstancias of the party. The other day it did a big party and wanted to that the people applauded him, therefore I changed him".

The people gives less value to this League?

It is possible that the people give less value to this League Santander because the FC Barcelona carries already a lot of days followed leading it. "Give value to the League? If we were ready of the first would give him more value, but as we carry advantage seems easier. It is the moment for these subjects because we lost the other day, but already will speak of this the day that win the League".

What is clear, in any case, is that the Celtic of Vigo will not put the easy things. "I expect an alike party to the that did us the Celtic in League here and in Glass there, with the very high pressure, a player in intermediate zone to jump to our defence and equalising numerically. It handles well the game of position and has an up incredible player that is Iago Sails. They will want to go out from backwards with Lobotka. If you are able to go out of the pressure, to the Celtic can do him a lot of damage", concludes the 'Txingurri' on a vital party for the aspirations of the Barça in League.
