Valverde: "We will not ask pardon for having to Messi, is a blessing for the Barça"

The trainer of the FC Barcelona, Ernesto Valverde, appeared this Tuesday at night in press conference, just after the Barcelona deleted to the Manchester United and attained a note for the semifinals of Champions League. The 'Txingurri' analysed the party and the eliminatory, in general lines. "It is the form that have. Sometimes it goes out better, others with more difficulties. It was an eliminatory complete. It has been a big party, with difficulties to the beginning but afterwards have redone us well. Little by little we have gone arriving from backwards and finding the result".

It showed loved with the stellar apparition of Leo Messi, that marked a 'doublet'. "Undoubtedly. Leo Messi always appears in the distinguished parties. No only in punctual moments but in the global of the game, because has goal but bears the weight of the offensive game of the team. When it is like this it is imparable", sustained the preparador Barcelona.

Continuing with the praises to Leo Messi, ensured that the rosarino "always takes us out of problems, is clear. It has done a big played, but already were very encarados. We do not go to ask pardon for having to Messi. It is a blessing for us". In spite of everything, Valverde wanted to escape of the word 'favourite' to conquer the 'orejona' this season 2018-19.

"Had a lot of illusion in this eliminatory, do not go it to deny. It did time that were not in semifinals..."

"We have done two good parties, that is what it is necessary to do to be able to be still in Champions League and that consider us more or less favourite... We find us well. We are trusted for the following eliminatory in front of a big rival and for this remain us ten days or fifteen days still. It would like us arrive to the final", left clear the 'Txingurri'.

The FC Barcelona seems that it has learnt of the errors of Rome. "Had a lot of illusion in this eliminatory, do not go it to deny. It did time that were not in semifinals of the Champions and were very mentalizados, but the football never know. In general lines has showed that have played serious, mentalizados to happen. Also of face to our people happen of fourth was important. To see if we can arrive to the final".

In this coyuntura, the FC Barcelona does not have a clear preference between Liverpool and Port wine in semifinals, according to words of the own Valverde. "It is the Champions, anybody is sure, there is not any result in the gone that it guarantee you at all. The Liverpool is favourite to happen because has a good income, but already will see it morning".

What wanted to say Coutinho with his celebration?

On the controversial celebration of goal of Philippe Coutinho, Valverde did not want to wet. "I do not know what will mean, the answer has it he more than anybody. I remain me with the golazo that has put, seems that we remain us more with the detallitos. The important is that it has been to a big level", signalled, and asked him if it has been just or unfair with Coutinho along the season. 

"We are in a club with a big requirement. We have to win it all and are subject to a big critical. We know in which world are and that this is not easy. Also there is a pretence that it always is necessary to play brilliant, that Coutinho or the one who go out has to always put goals. All are human and all have to hold the world in which we are", sentenced the 'Txingurri'.

The FC Barcelona, controversial separate, already is in semifinals of the Champions League, in the final of the Glass of Rey and in a position more than privileged to conquer LaLiga Santander 2018-19. Better, impossible to these heights of the season for the Barcelona group. The triplete is increasingly near, and is now when it is necessary to tighten the accelerator.
