Keita: “The most important is to give your best on the pitch”
The Malian Seydou Keita is aware of the high expectations of the fans for the game against Wisla but has assured that what the team has to do is to give its all on the pitch.
The new Barcelona midfielder thinks the team is well prepared for the official debut on Wednesday
and is confident that Barça will come away with a good result, but he also said “we have to
be alert”.
The fans are the team
“The fans form part of the club and their help is important. The
fans may have their doubts but we have to push ourselves to the limit. If we always fight hard the
people will understand that there are ups and downs. The most important is to do your best on the
pitch”, explained Keita.
The ex-Seville player stands out for his strength and is convinced that for the fans to be
proud of the team, the players have to try their hardest.
Quick preparation
Seydou Keita explained that the team has worked every aspect in the last three weeks of the
pre-season: “The aim was to be as fast as possible, get as fit as we can and work on attack
as well as defence”.
According to Keita a good example of the good work done in training can be seen in the
pre-season friendly results. The team playing well is the most important for the Malian.
“We’ve begun to prepare for the game and to get to know our rival, but most important
is how we play”, said Keita.
