"When I invite you to eat to my house offer you to eat what have"

On the party against the Barça, knows perfectly that it will be one of the most complicated of the season. "We have played several important parties. What follows has an important transcendence by the moment that lives the Barça, that is being very conclusive. It has done an enormous effort for compensating to a player like Neymar.

It expects that the Athletic was conclusive of face to the rival goal and achieve to brake to Leo Messi"The intention is to carry the control. Leo is a player determinant. In a played resolves you the party. It is not news. I do not discover at all. The best will be to play as we want to. Further of not to have them won in LaLiga always have competed. That is the intention. We expect that we are conclusive face to the goal".

This Barça of Valverde plays distinct to the of Luis Enrique. "It goes back a bit to reacomodarse with four midfield players, to a more dumped style to a team like the Athletic. Messi and Suárez are moved away of any defensive need", commented.

When I invite you to eat to my house offer you to eat what have, with my dish, my mantel… do not say you how have I that eat in your house, if with a square dish or no".

And, on the tiredness accumulated of the international, remembered that this subject affects so much to the Barça as to the Athletic. "Suárez arrived the same that Godín and Giménez. Messi took an aeroplane to be immediately with his team. They are accustomed and are competitive. With the run of the parties can happen that there is tiredness but the normal...".
