Milan defeat Celtic
The other match of Group H in the Champions League saw Celtic FC fall to Milan by 2 to 0.
FC Barcelona recently reached footballing excellence and therefore the fans are more demanding
The manager accepts that some of the Barça fans have doubts about the team’s play, a concern he addressed with the following statement: “FC Barcelona recently reached footballing excellence and therefore the fans are more demanding. I understand that they didn’t like the first half, that they weren’t satisfied. But they should be fairly satisfied with the second half.” Martino, however, said that the team’s objective is to “reach the same place Barça always reach. We don’t want to change the team’s style of play, but I saw Márquez make long passes too five years ago. It doesn’t mean we’re changing the style if we add alternatives to our play.”
We’re riddled with stars and it’s normal
for a player to put in an excellent performance. I need a solid team so
that the individuals can develop their full potential
Valdés, due to his brilliant performance in tonight’s match, and Messi, who scored a hat trick, were the standout players of the night. “The team is full of superb players. We’re riddled with stars and it’s normal for a player to put in an excellent performance. I need a solid team so that the individuals can develop their full potential.” He concluded his conference by noting that Andrés Iniesta “is getting back to full form.”
