The Cantabrian technician valued positively the victory although it recognised that the meeting would have to have remained sentenced a lot before.

In this sense, thinks that one of the reasons by which the Barça could not tie up before the three points was the tiredness of some of his players, that are beginning to notice the physical wear of what means to play two or thrice by week in a short staff. "At the end, the team was tired. They have taken out players up that they have engaged us. They have created us problems and have not been able to fulfil all the field. And here it costs us more. We had to have resolved the party clarísimamente in the first part with two or three goals. It was a very comfortable party in the first part".

"If we had marked more goals in the first part, some player more would have rested"

In addition to energies, to the Barça was missing him something of inspiration and puntería of face to the goal of Masip. "This happens in the football. The inspiration goes and comes. Sometimes you put it without wanting to, other times do not hit by a control. This same party did it in Villarreal. There we mark and here no".

Ter Stegen Went back to be the best player of the Barça, saving to the team with his big interventions in the second half. "Ter Stegen Is here to stop and to do what is doing. All do his function". And it explained Quique Setién why left in the bench to Luis Suárez of start, recovering a 3-5-2 with Griezmann and Leo Messi in the front of attack. "It is well give freshness. Suárez carries five parties playing almost all and had to rest".

Messi needs a break

After clearing the reasons of the suplencia of Griezmann in the second act, some physical annoyances that they could do him rest in the next parties, Setién valued the possibility that Leo Messi also receive minutes of rest próximamente, taking into account that it is beginning to notice the fatigue accumulated to play so many minutes followed.

"Surely. I have commented it to him, but the marker was very adjusted. If we had marked more goals in the first part, any more would have rested", signalled Quique Setién in press conference. It fits to remember that Leo Messi has played it all since it restarted the football after the confinement, and the best possible news is that, in spite of the tiredness, does not have lesionado.
