In words offered in press conference few hours after it celebrated the draw of quarter-finals of Glass of the King 2015-16, Ernesto Valverde spoke on the triple clash that will live -or will suffer- the Athletic against the FC Barcelona in little more than a week, with the crash suspender belt of this Sunday and the eliminatory copera to double party that will initiate this next Wednesday in Bilbao and will culminate to the following week in the Camp Nou. This year, it will not be able to have a final of Glass of the King between FC Barcelona and Athletic of Bilbao, since only one will survive to the chambers.

"Of course that no! We are having hard draws; it has touched us the most difficult rival, but goes through us speak (asked in Villarreal that did not touch them the Barça). Also it is a challenge for us, is not the first time in this season that confront us to them to double party with the turn in contrary field. That result was favourable and go to try it again, the most difficult still. It is an eliminatory that it is necessary to play, suppose that to them will not have been graceful them neither confront to us".

The Athletic did not want for nothing that it touched him the FC Barcelona in chambers of Glass of Rey. "Of course. Have now the party of the Sunday with them and know that to face up him to the Barcelona the requirement is very high. You have to play to a level of intensity very strong. It demands you a lot by his pressure, force to be permanently alerts from the defensive point of view. Have the experience of what happened us in summer, forced us so much that had some problems. I prefer to remain me with the well, is a rival of a lot of level and the people goes to be enchufada. It is a challenge of which one wants to, but always wants that it arrive later".

"Have the experience of August; the two first parties against them were very good and in the third in League were not so well, although it was an enclosed party. We are this weekend without Aduriz. They have to Suárez sanctioned in the first party. It comes too followed, is a lot of load". Aduriz Will not be able to play the party of League BBVA by accumulation of cards, by what Iñaki Williams could play of "nine". "Yes, have possibilities of this type. Iñaki already did it here with the Villarreal, afterwards is the possibility of Sabin, Viguera... Knowing that there it is difficult argue the possession to the Barcelona. Always we split of the base that Elos go to have more time the balloon and go to have to remove it". In this coyuntura, fears a lot of things of the Barça.

"What is what can not you concern of the Barça? It is it everything. You begin to think in one, in another, the individualities, the form to play, the goals that marks and do not mark him? For any team is a proof in which one wants to go out victorious, no only for being able to win but by what can show in the field. Have a double proof, a test to measure us against a rival that has from the technical point of view approaches a lot to perfection. We have to lidiar against this forward that has to demands you the maximum concentration. It serves to look in which point are".
