7M Sports > UEFA Champions League > 7M Preview - Valverde and Conte look ahead to Barca vs Chelsea
-
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Ernesto Valverde, Barcelona head coach:
I expect a similar rival to the one we faced during the first leg, with all of their virtues and with all the danger attached to them. They are a rival capable of scoring at any moment. I can't guess which strategy their coach will choose, whether they will attack us in our area or if they will stay behind. We will see as the game goes on what we must do. It is true that the result from the first leg benefits us, but it is difficult to keep the result the same until the end of the game. I think we should not so much focus on what they do but rather focus on our own game.SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Ernesto Valverde, Barcelona head coach (on Barcelona's recent struggles in front of goal):
We are worried about the danger Chelsea can put us under because they have a great counter-attack and strategy. They have so many virtues, players such as (Eden) Hazard or William who are able to shoot at goal from anywhere on the pitch. So I am worried because of that statistic, but even more so because of Chelsea's qualities.SOUNDBITE: (English) Antonio Conte, Chelsea coach:
For sure.... Nou Camp is a fantastic stadium, with a big pitch and I think that, every single player when you play this type of game against Barcelona at Nou Camp, you must be excited. You must be excited to play this type of game and a lot of my players have never played, in this stadium, at Nou Camp. But, this is the first time and we want to try to do our best.SOUNDBITE: (English) Antonio Conte, Chelsea coach:
When you play against Barcelona, against a team that I consider, Barcelona, one of the best in the world, if you want to have an (option) to win the game you have to play a perfect game and in the first leg, we did this and when we made a mistake we paid a lot because of this mistake. For sure, the final result of the first leg, give(s) a great advantage to Barcelona, but at the same time I think we know very well the philosophy of Barcelona and for sure they want to try to play their football tomorrow, to try to score and to try to win the game.
