The artistic manager of Barcelona, Argentine Gerardo Martino
Tata considered that the team despite winning over Elche 4-0 in the round 18 of
La Liga did not give his best.
Martino said at a news conference after the match,
"team in the development and a good level, but did not offer the best we
have so far."
The coach was happy to translate "effort" of all
Chilean Alexis Sanchez and Spain's Pedro Rodriguez for goals, considering this
as a "prize" of everything they did in game.
Alexis scored three goals, "hat-trick" while Pedro
scored the goal and making another.
The coach pointed out that is still too early to talk about
what will happen in Atletico Madrid match next round in La Liga day 11 of this
month, in the Vicente Calderon stadium.
Martino added "The fact that I did not determine basically
the team that will play against Getafe," on May 8, in the first leg of
Copa Del Ray.
The coach did not refer to if it was Lionel Messi back from
injury will be ready for the match Atletico or not where he completed,
"the mind is ready, but I will not push one has not recovered fully."
Martino said that the return of Messi will not put players
such as Alexis and Pedro in the shade, where he added "I cannot think that
the return of the best player in the world would hurt the rest, but on the
contrary we will be better."
