In words offered to the media in press conference, Ernesto Valverde spoke on the turn of semifinals of the Glass of the King that will contest the FC Barcelona this Thursday against the Valency in Mestalla, that will be an authentic pot to pressure. "The fact to play a semifinal, of the motivation that there is, each team goes to be faithful to what does".

"It will be a difficult team to exceed, that will try to go out fast to the against. But when being underneath in the eliminatory will go out more aggressive, with the support of his public. It is a definite party. We will burn our ships", explained the Barcelona technician. They asked after him the physical state of Gerard Hammered. "It finished with annoyances the party, but as we think that it is not descartado for morning will see how is today. It goes to train and already will see", answered.

"Dembélé Is well, with the team. If it is not this week, the one who comes will be smart"

In this sense, Yerry Mina can have minutes. "It comes summoned and is prepared to play. It depends of the thought of the trainer if it goes to go in. The one who there are players that can play in different positions is an advantage, for him and for the team. We have to decide in function of the situation. It is not Vermaelen, is Yerry Mina, have other possibilities like Busquets or Digne", thought.

It is conscious that Valencia will go out to by all to try happen to the final of the Glass of the King 2017-18, by what the FC Barcelona will be necessary that see goal in Mestalla. "Knowing to Valencia, will have to mark to happen", commented, without hinting on the return of Ousmane Dembélé. "It is well, with the team. If it is not this week, the one who comes, will be smart".

"The of Sergi Roberto was haphazard, as the of the goalkeeper of Valencia with Godín"

Luis Suárez will lose the final if it sees a yellow card, but Valverde thinks that the charrúa knows to take care alone. "Some time have commented something in this regard, but at the end the players are as they are. The aggressiveness that has is his style. Already it is veteran and knows how take care in some measure. For the moment we go to play a semifinal and go to put it everything".

Marcelino criticised to Luis Suárez and also the injury of Andreas Pereira by fault of Sergi Roberto, but Valverde answered with forcefulness in this regard: "Also it commented the past week, and before other parties. It is a party with a lot of inducements, will have to surpass all the adversities. On Luis Suárez, is as if we spoke of Zaza, that also goes in strong. The of Sergi Roberto was haphazard, as the of the goalkeeper of Valencia with Godín, that broke him the teeth. Sergi did not go to hurt to the rival".

The Barça, to happen to the final and centre in other aims

Valverde Is not concerned by the tiredness of the team. "It does not concern me. It is the normal. Of the four semifinalists in Glass did not win any. The focus of the week carries it to him the party that can put you in a final. At the end it costs you a bit, but we are accustomed to play two parties by week". And neither it wanted to value the possibility that Luis Enrique train to Chelsea.

"It is a big exercise of prediction the one who are doing. For the moment we do not have at all that vary. For the moment the trainer of Chelsea is the one who won the Premier the past year, that has a big curriculum", signalled. Finally, when going back to be asked after Yerry Mina, expressed the wish that has with the Colombian: "To Yerry Mina know it to have it seen in another context, but no in our competition. We think that it can help us. We want that it was an important player for us".
