The fourth game of the series against straight opponents, and how do you think Leighun doesn’t deny that other coaches have been sought?. “I am focused on Alaves, they are an intense, difficult opponent, they already made it difficult for us last year at Mestalla and we lost the game, and my aim is to consciously focus on the game against Alaves. “It is not my job thinking about things, I don’t read or watch them.”
How do you feel about the nervousness towards the club? “It’s something we have to live with, the season has been negative so far. The match is very important and the goal goes through Mestalla. We hope Mestalla will support us and push ourselves and that we are the ones to show that attitude and see if we manage to keep that continuity and the Barcelona unit knows better. If Mestalla supports us, players will dare to do more to find their best.”
