Ernesto Valverde gave his usual pre-match press conference on Friday ahead of Barcelona’s La Liga clash at Levante.
The Barcelona boss talked about Antoine Griezmann, Samuel Umtiti’s fitness, Gerard Pique’s latest comments on Neymar (these ones in case you missed them) and Lionel Messi.
Here are the main talking points.
Valverde on Griezmann
He has been playing regularly. The other day I made some changes. I don’t like to talk about indisputable starters. He will keep on playing if he continues to meet expectations.
Valverde on Levante
Levante have a deadly counter-attack with very fast players.
