Bilbao can compete with anyone - Marcelino
Bilbao have performed well in recent weeks and are ready to face Barcelona again.
Athletic Bilbao coach Marcelino claimed that his team could compete with all rivals and defeat any team.
Bilbao will face Barcelona for the third time in three weeks, but this time at the Nou Camp.
will travel to Catalonia after winning their last five games, including a victory over Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup and reaching the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey. Now Marcelino has praised his team, claiming that they can compete with any team.
He told Mondo Deportivo:
“We’d love to win and that’s what we’re going for. We know it’s difficult but we’re not going to give up. We’re going to put everything into achieving it. It won’t be easy.
“At home they’re a team with extraordinary numbers who are very difficult to beat. We have to defend very well, attack very well and be lucky. If all these factors don’t occur, it’s going to be difficult to win, but we must be optimistic thanks to the match we played in the Supercopa.”
“The ambition of the footballers is what has led us to this,”
he said.
“The postponement of the match against Atletico [Madrid] suited us in terms of establishing new criteria, but we haven’t been able to do that repeatedly. We’re not the most responsible. Those responsible are the footballers themselves, who’ve shown that they can compete with and beat anyone.”
