🔥 MATCH PREVIEW: FC BARCELONA vs OSASUNA 🔥 | LA LIGA 24/25

I spoke with, I had a meeting with all my staff and so also the physiotherapists, the fitness coaches and we spoke about what we can do, what we can do to help the players to recover better and faster and like that and they said to me, hey coach, the players are good, they're fit and they think to play every three days is not a big thing for them. So I will believe in them and we will see what happens. He's fit, he can play, so we'll decide it tomorrow if he will start. But what I can say is he's fit, he feels good and this is a good situation also for us because also Ferran is in good shape, so it's really good. Tomorrow, what I can say is Eric and Ine will play as centre-backs and Paul will be on the bench. I hope not that we will need him because I think also it's better that he has one, two, three days more because he needs it. The injury is not as huge as we normally thought but I think it's also good that he has three days more. Only in a situation where we need him, he will play but I think not. After the matches with the national team, also for the players, we decided before that they have two days off so it could be a really good situation for them but we have to change it totally. So also for the players from Spain, from France and from the Netherlands, they have to be there. They recover well, train also yesterday a little bit, so adapt all these situations what we have and today the first training with everyone. So not with everyone because players are out but it's like it is. So it's not the best situation for them but they know they are professional and I said it often, you know, this team is really unbelievable. They focus, they recover really good and they are very professional. We play this. I said it always, no excuses. We go for that and I think the team is ready. The only thing what we have to do is about the load they have, the players and also who show us today and the last days good performance in the training. This is what we have to see and then tomorrow we will go for that because I think we have a big quality in this team and we can win against everyone also if there are some players not in the team. We focus on this, we are looking forward and very positive about that. How I said before, I think we have a really good team and for me what I saw today in the training was really good. So we have the confidence with the ball and this is what I want to see. We have to fight for three points and this is for me. So when we win tomorrow and we have three points more, I think it's the right reaction we gave. At the end of the season, I think every week or every match is a big thing. I think you cannot win the Copa, you cannot win the Champions League, but you can lose it. This is what we don't want to do. So we are focused on these matches also. It doesn't matter if we have only three days between the next match, it's like that and we have to accept it. I think the teams are really fit and I think we have to be ready for this big task, but I'm looking very positive about this. The players played for their teams, international teams. We have to play these matches. So I say now maybe we can speak about Osasuna match if it's the right time to play this tomorrow. And of course we can speak about Leganes because we are away match at nine o'clock. It's always like that when we play away, always at nine o'clock. So we arrive late in the night, three o'clock, like that. It has something to do with the recovery for the players. Okay, I'm not happy with this. I'm not happy with this. And also when you see other leagues, how they handle it with the teams, with the clubs they play in the Champions League, it's totally different than here. I'm really happy about the training. This is the only thing is we have to take care about the situation, okay, about the minutes they played and also about the next match on Sunday. And also what I see from other players without the minutes they have normally, the lot of minutes they have for the last days, they are really training well. So it's a good performance from them. And so it makes us a little bit more difficult to decide which one we will start, but it's a good thing.
