Osasuna v FC Barcelona United Preview
Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola
“We’re in an extreme situation, the only good result is victory. We have to move forward with a fighting spirit, effort, and belief.”
“when you get to a final it always reinforces you. We started with six titles; we won three, in the other [competition] we’re in the final and we have two more competitions to close out the season. We have to keep doing our work to maintain people’s faith in us.”
“it’s one of the hardest tests we have left this season … we went there a month ago to play in the Cup, and it wasn’t easy. In fact, it’s always been difficult for us in that stadium.”
“January was a tough month, we played against great teams without much rest. Once we reached our goal [Cup final], the team trained well, what I say made me optimistic.”
“he’s not ready. The wound on his knee and stitches need to heal correctly, if not, we run the risk of losing him for two or three weeks. He is getting better, we’ll see how his injury evolves and if we can bring him with us to Germany.”
