Domènec Torrent: “Now Barça is among the top five teams”

Guardar

Sports writing, 16 Mar Galatasaray coach Domènec Torrent considered that “Barça are among the top five teams in the world” before facing the Barça team this Thursday, on the return of the round of 16 of the Europa League that will be played at the Türk Telekom Arena in Istanbul after the 0-0 of the first leg. “If you want to go ahead and raise an open match against Barça you don't have a chance. At Camp Nou we did well. We close the spaces well, being together and very compact. For tomorrow we have prepared two different things, because it is a final. Depending on the result, we will play one way or the other,” the coach announced at a press conference. From his words, it is presumed that Galatasaray's approach will not be much different from that of the first leg, in which he remained in the low block. “It's not the same to play against a team with such quality that dominates you a lot of the game than against another team. We have to assess precisely what the team did against Barça,” he warned. Thus, Torrent admits that in order to have the chance to pass the tie his team will have to suffer. “You have to prepare to face difficulties in many minutes of play. We'll have to be perfect defensively. But we will have our chances to score a goal,” he said. CHIEF 1011955 sej/gmh/ea
