Álvaro Cervera has hinted at how Cádiz plan to play against Barcelona before their next home game on Saturday at the Ramón de Carranza Stadium.

The Cádiz coach has explained that his team will try to mark the Blaugrana through direct football, allowing the visitors to dominate possession.

“We have to know that Barcelona is better than us, but this is a football match,” Cervera said at his press conference. “We all like football because many times the minor team can win.

“I am not going to try to have more touches than Barcelona. We are going to try to make them feel less comfortable on the pitch, and when we have the opportunity, [will try to] hurt them.

“Hurting Barcelona is not done with a play of eight passes. It is done with speed, direct passes forward and that’s the idea.”

Barcelona seemed to have rediscovered their form in recent matches and Cervera highlighted some players who have stood out lately.

“From my point of view, Barcelona is going through its best moment,” added Cervera. “I see a lot of players who are fit. Players like [Antoine] Griezmann, [Ousmane] Dembélé or [Martin] Braithwaite is in good shape.

“Now it’s a team with more intensity than before. Then there’s [Lionel] Messi who is the best in the world.

“Barcelona enters the game by scoring four goals against Osasuna, which is a fierce team. Barcelona always has resources for everything. I get used to the idea that these types of players win the game. They are very good, both as a team and individually “.

Cervera believes that his team must find the balance between defense and attack, so that both can absorb the pressure and hit the counter.

“We will try to protect the areas where they are lethal,” Cervera said. “If we lose one of their forwards, they will be in a position to score.

“We will try to prevent them from sending the ball there, but it is not easy at all. If you go up the field, players like [Ousmane] Dembélé or Jordi Alba can produce a deadly pass from behind and if you sit down you can’t hurt them.

“It is difficult because they have many exits. They can easily put the ball in certain areas of the field and this can be lethal.”
