In the pre-match press
conference about Champions League game against Atlético Madrid, Gerardo Martino
said that Barça “need to win” and that “we will try to take the lead, this will
allow us to play the game differently.” The Argentinian manager said that
Atlético “have a very defined style” and that he’s prepared for the game “with
all of the available players in mind.”
Martino went on saying: “Managers take the enough amount of time to see if players are fit to play. We have to approach the game against Atlético as if all of their players are available”. “We’re used to Messi scoring a goal per game.
If he doesn’t score, we all take notice. What we want is for him to be decisive, but that doesn’t mean he has to score,” stated Martino, who added that Messi “has been decisive for the team in 2014, he’s had the continuity that he hasn’t had before and it’s clear that he’ll always be decisive for Barça.”
Lastly, Martino concluded: “I don’t think our best moments at the Bernabéu were that different to the final minutes against Atlético Madrid. Only in one game we won and we didn’t in the other. We saw the best Barça in both matches”.
In Martino’s opinion, Barça’s objective “is to qualify for the semi-finals in 90 minutes. The prize is progressing to the semi-finals of the Champions League.”
