Valverde: "The Barça does not think in the triplete, there is not at all livestock"

In statements conceded this Saturday in press conference, Ernesto Valverde wanted to recess the euphoria that breathes in some sectors of the barcelonismo, when remembering that the group culé still has not won any title and, in this sense, will have to continue rowing to approach even more the aims in these last months of the season 2017-18.

"We do not think in the triplete because we have not won at all still. Have possibilities and go them to explode to the maximum. Have the danger of not seeing the stone that have by in front", left clear Valverde, that no fía of the Athletic. "The Athletic is always dangerous. Has to eight points the European position and can try it. For us they are three fundamental points because we already are in the countdown. Afterwards it comes the stop and afterwards a month of terrible April, where play us the season. Therefore it is important to begin winning the first".

"If we had signed to be as now to these heights of the season? As yes, with blood"

Sergio Busquets will not be able to be present in front of the Basques, but yes Rakitic. "We have lost to Sergio Busquets in another moment by sanction, but have to other players that can help us. Rakitic And other alternatives". It did not want to speak too much on the fact that Julen Lopetegui have not summoned to Sergi Roberto for the parties of the Spanish selection in this next stop.

"It would not like me that the seleccionador said something on the announcements that I do on the Barcelona, do not go it to do I. He knows what is better for the team. Each one has his opinion". It explained also the injury of Thomas Vermaelen. "It was an encontronazo very strong with Cuenca, the boy of the Barça B, and gave us a good fright because had a lot pain. But it is the hit and in little time goes to be well".

André Gomes is the one who has to step forward

Luis Suárez will not play by sanction against the Athletic, and can be the opportunity that Paco Alcácer was headline. "It is training well, there have been moments that has gone in more, but see him well, encouraged. Afterwards the trainer has to choose. This is football, is like this".

Also it has gone in in the announcement Carles Aleñá, the young promise of the Barça B. "Andrés Iniesta is only and is an incomparable player. But Carles Aleñá is a player that has a big future in this club. I do not have any doubt". To Ernesto Valverde asked him also by the reaction of the Camp Nou with André Gomes the past Wednesday, when it went out to the terrain of game in front of Chelsea.

"It seemed me very well the reaction of the public with André Gomes. In the spirit of the people is the can help to the player. The one who has to give the steps is the player". On Andrés Iniesta, wait that remain in the Barça of face to the next season, but will respect his decision.

Iniesta and Rakitic, centre of the field of luxury for the Barça

"It did not surprise me the statement. It depends on he. The truth is that I am not thinking in next year. Now I think in what have by in front. But to all does us rare see to the Barça without Andrés". So much Iniesta like Gerard Hammered have been summoned by Lopetegui for the next commitments of the Spanish selection. "It is the last proof before the World-wide and want to have to the players. All are conscious and the important is that the players arrive well of mentality and with illusion to achieve things".

To Valverde seems him "extraordinary" the season that is completing Ivan Rakitic. "It seems me extraordinary his season. It is reliable to the one hundred by one hundred, helps you to take out the balloon and arrives up. But raisin with a lot of players. Over time they join up to different position to which began". And, finally, Valverde showed happy with how is going the present season.

"Places to be optimistic to principle of season, always think that it goes you to go well. It is free. If we had signed it, as yes. With blood". In spite of everything, and as it already signalled in the same press conference, the FC Barcelona does not trust . Still they remain a lot of stairs for going up.
