Luis Enrique has recalled the situation in which he found himself this time last year. ‘The Press wanted to kill me!’
Barca go to Vigo top of the League but it was put to Enrique at his pre-match Press conference that the football on show is below that of 12 months ago.
“This game will be extremely complicated by the characteristics of the opponent, and their fitness. In short, it’s a very attractive game,” he said, AS reports.
“It’s maximum difficulty. We struggled a lot last year and Celta have reinforced very well, with a great sporting director who makes successful signings.
“Besides results they play in an attractive manner. They’ll find and push for the ball, but we like facing teams like that.
“Playing brilliantly last year? This time last year you wanted to kill me. There are better or worse games and different versions. We know what we want.
“It’s no different from other seasons. I’m happy with the performance. It could be better or worse.
“It’ll be like playing against Rayo Vallecano, or Bayer Leverkusen. They’ll fight for everything. It will be uncomfortable but we can get a favourable outcome.
“If we’re too laid back, Celta will pass us by. We have to be effective and have good options. But if we sit back they’ll go past us at 200mph.”
