Touré calls for “caution” in the return leg
Berta Brau
Touré Yaya believes that the performance against Bayern was one of the best of the season but in spite of the great result he is taking nothing for granted in the return leg.
It fell to Touré Yaya to try and calm down the euphoria that has gripped the fans as a result of
last night’s great result against Bayern: “We had a very good match, we all worked well
and we got a good result for the return leg”. However, he assured reporters on Thursday that
the players are keeping their concentration: “Right now we’re very focussed because we
know there’s still a long way to go”.
The return leg
Despite the excellent results (4-0), Touré is not taking
anything for granted in the return leg in Germany: “The tie isn’t over yet. The return
leg won’t be that easy. We have to play with caution because Bayern is a big club”.
However, Touré is determined to finish the job in the Allianz Arena: “We have to win and
score two or three goals”.
The best in Europe
While maintaining a dose of modesty and caution, Touré Yaya did not deny that the performance
against Bayern suggests that Barça is playing the best football in Europe: “We have players
of great quality such as Messi, Eto'o and Henry, in my opinion the best forwards. The truth is
we’re a very compact team”.
One eye on the league
Next up in the Barça schedule is Saturday’s match against Recreativo in the Camp Nou:
“We have to recover from the Champions League game quickly because we have another important
match on Saturday. The league isn’t over and we have to keep on working hard”.
