The azulgana coach has sent a loud and clear message:
Ernesto Valverde wanted to go out of step with the controversy generated by the possible hall of Barca to Real Madrid in the prolegomena of the classic in the Bernabeu after the triumph of the set of Zinedine Zidane in the Club World Cup. From the Barcelona entity, through its director of Institutional Relations, Guillermo Amor , it was already made very clear that the official position of the club was not to do so since it is not a competition in which the Barça team has taken part . The technician, meanwhile, wanted to go even a little further .
"Years ago it was done to recognize the players, it had not acquired this media aspect that is contaminating everything ... Our recognition has already Real Madrid players, I would not make the corridor to anyone and I do not want anyone to do it . He has lost the essence, "said the Barça coach. For Valverde , the most important thing is to focus only on the game. Above all, due to the bad memory that his team has of the last two games against Zinedine Zidane's side in the Spanish Super Cup.
The Whites prevailed in the Camp Nou with a more than forceful 1-3 and topped the job at the Bernabéu with a 2-0 to take the title of the Spanish Super Cup. Now, those of Valverde trust in being able to return the ball to them. Some of his players, like Gerard Piqué , simply have the moral through the roof . They believe that it is an ideal moment to give the lace to a team that is very far in the table and do not think to miss this opportunity .
