“Barcelona has a great team and between those who play and those who are on the bench can make two teams. The youngsters are doing well and mature people are helping them”, assured the Alavés coach. ” They cannot cry for the team they have “, added Mendilibar.
The situation the team is experiencing de Vitoria is not the best, because it is in the penultimate position of the table in the Spanish League and they have not yet been able to add their first win of the year 2022. Another detail that Mendilibar pointed out was the need to take advantage of set pieces against his rival culé.
“Let’s see if we are capable of generating that because Barcelona is a team that suffers from set pieces ”, he added.
Alavés is in position 19 in the table, three points behind Mallorca, who are in the position 17 out of the relegation places, on the other hand, the FC Barcelona needs a win to move out of seventh place and move closer to the UEFA Champions League spots.
