Andoni Zubizarreta, who
travelled with the 23 man squad, spoke to the media shortly before boarding the
flight to Manchester.
He declared: “The first knockout match is never
an easy game, and given the quality of the opponent this year, this promises to
be a top quality match”.
The FC Barcelona sports director added that
“teams of this level are outstanding not just because of what they can do as a
unit, but also because of the capacity of individual players to solve
situations”.
According to him, “we have to sense that we are
Barça and that we have our own way of nderstanding and playing football. We
have never lost our confidence in Messi and he has proved himself time and
again both in training and in matches.”
Zubizarreta was also asked about
how much Barça’s whole season depends on the outcome of this match, and answered
that “people forget that we have already won the Spanish Supercup this season.
If we hadn’t won it, then that may have affected our whole season.
Our
position in the league, qualifying for the cup final, all these things affect
the outcome of the season, not just this match”. More about FC Barcelona summer camps.
