In statements carried out in press conference in the frame of the meeting of gone of the Supercopa of Spain 2015 that will contest Athletic of Bilbao and FC Barcelona in Saint Mamés from this Friday, Ernesto Valverde analysed some of the keys of the meeting and left to glimpse the possibility that it bet again by an individual labeling to Leo Messi, something that did not work too well during the final of the past edition of the Glass of Rey. "Only it is necessary to pose it and do it. We pose it in the final, saw left of five and did us a goal. This put them the party of face, will see in these three parties what have against them, is an alternative", manifested the Basque.

To Valverde does not dislike him that the Athletic measure so many times to the FC Barcelona. "There is a part in which play against teams like the Barça, Inter, with which were in the last friendly, comes us very well. Because have players that force you to be very put, to give the best of you. The competitive level that you have to show is very high. It is a title to double party, which gives them to them more advantage. They are a lot of parties against the same rival and in half have important parties. We are not champions of League neither Glass and go us to play a title, since we are here go to try win it".

The Athletic expects to take to the Barça still in phase of preparation and no to the maximum level of game. "We expect that it was not to this level. When we play the final of Glass were in his best moment, to level of group and individual. It was a moment more complicated. It was a title to a party and had our hopes but was very well. We look forward to to take them a bit more desprevenidos. Have more advantage by the second party home. You have to shake you the command because you finish bedded in your goal". The Seville was to snatch to the Barça the Supercopa of Europe.

"That the contrary always avenge a bit touched, although the Barcelona won the title, does not come us bad. At the end it saw that there are teams that also can them hurt. It does them be on warning and to the rest gives us an opportunity to see that there are forms to hurt them. The same they thought inconscientemente that the party was clearer".

If something does not be missing him to the Athletic, this is illusion. "We see this Supercopa like a possibility, as we saw the final of Glass, like the opportunity to win a title. When you arrive to a final there is one that goes to lose, anybody wants to be in his skin and if it is against the Barça say: "Always it touches us to us". We are not an exception, struggle to go back to a lot of finals and can follow having this opportunity, some time will fall of our side, as we are very insistent go to see if this time can be and if we will not follow trying it".
