The Thursday will come the first Classical by the semis of Glass and the míster called to the calm and to happen the page, as still there are two titles at stake where the culés have to 'shot' the possibility to add a pair of trophies more this season, with LaLiga like priority.
"We will raise us, we will compete, but the people thinks that go to win LaLiga of form sobrada and no. We are competing against the Madrid, current champion of League and of Champions, and goes us to cost. It is necessary to put him more intensity, more rhythm, what has been missing us in the first part, definitely the worst of the season", puntualizó the trainer blaugrana.
