Players Reactions

Here we have an excerpt of all the player interviews after the game against Valencia as well the quotes of Pep Guardiola and Laporta.

Pep Guardiola

“It was a good point against a good opponent.”

“We came to win, but we did not because we created difficulties for ourselves. We are incapable of winning all 38 games.

“The league is a process, and we are stable. They created problems for us in the first half, but we were better in the second, against a team that causes us problems last year.

“I do not believe that teams know us better now.”

Laporta

“We have a sensational goalkeeper.”

“He made three point blank saves. We played a good game, especially in the second half.

“We are still on top, and a point at the Mestalla is important.”

Gerad Pique

“I do not believe that we lost two points, but rather that we gained one.”

“They pressured us in the first half, but we controlled the game once they got tired.

“The important thing is that we are still leading.”

Bojan

“Although we are never content with anything but a victory, it is a good point considering how the game went. All the games are difficult, and Valencia made life complicated for us.

“All our opponents will try that, but it is important to keep adding points.”

Iniesta

“We should be happy with the point.”

“We continue to climb, and we are the leaders.

“We improved as the game went on, which is a good sign.”

Victor Valdes

“We are not used to defending so many chances.”

“They pressured us very well.

“Now we should consolidate this point by beating Zaragoza at home.”

Dani Alves

“We remain on top.”

“We are one of the favourites for the league, but the key is to keep working with humility. We had better chances, but we did not take them.

“The draw is a good result, because this is one of the most difficult places to come to.”
