Martino joked: The first thing I do in the morning... I make sure I am still breathing!

Argentine coach Gerardo Martino coach Barcelona mocked from news that shook the Catalan club over the past months about the problems that accumulate on the club.

Martino said sarcastically, during a press conference before his team's scheduled match tomorrow against Real Betis in La Liga, "The first thing I'm doing now is to make sure I still breathe when I wake up in the morning."

And, following the problems one after the other on the Catalan club several months ago and was most recently the sentence imposed by the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) on the club days before depriving him of the inclusion of new players for the two transitions in a row because of the irregularities committed by the club in its contracts with players less than 18.

Despite this, Martino always seeks to keep the team away from these problems to provide the team a successful career in this difficult season.

He said, "There will not be an acceptable excuse. If we do not win a title, this would mean that our season was bad." 

He explained, "The first thing I'm doing now is to make sure I still breathe when I wake up in the morning .., if one starts to think in black hands, working will be hard on the football field."

Martino said the term "black hands" to the rumors about the existence of plots hatched against Barcelona beginning of a compact case with Brazilian striker Neymar da Silva and even the punishment of FIFA.

Martino added "Yes, it is the fact that there are many statements and comments. I wish not to be any of them are true. It happened to us many things. 

For Martino, "No one cares about excuses  ... we accept problems as a part of daily life in Barcelona. It’s not something strange about what we experience throughout the year."

Martino returned to speak ironically stressing that it is not to open his mouth and not talk about these things when he returns to Argentine.

Martino defended model training of Barcelona club, saying that the center or any other organization cannot achieve such strong results that emerge from this training model.
