“We’ll go out to win as we always do”

Jordi Clos


Seydou Keita has said that the team will be looking to get the three points at Cornellà-El Prat as they always do, despite being aware that Espanyol have a strong side. “They have almost everything”, he said.


Three days before the derby away to Espanyol, Seydou Keita has spoken about his feelings in the build-up. He claims they are approaching the game like any other. “There is no special desire. We’ll go out to win as we always do” he said.

But he does know that “all games against Espanyol have been difficult. It’s normal, it’s a derby, their ground is juts two kilometres away … but it’s nothing special for us, we always go out to win matches and we’ll do that on Saturday too”.

Hard opponent

That’s why it’s so hard, because they have got almost everything … a derby is always difficult, there’s a lot of rivalry and they’ll be doing everything they can to win. It won’t be easy for us, but it won’t be for them either”.

Everything going right

Happy for Mazembe
Seydou Keita also spoke about Mazembe’s historic qualification for the Clubs World Cup Final. “I am very happy about that. It’s great for African football. I hope they win the final, for Africa and for African football”.

Keita is also pleased with Barça’s deal with the Qatar Foundation. “If the club decided that, then it’s good. It doesn’t matter that it’s a Muslim country. I am Muslim and I’ve never had a problem here, respect is what matters” he said.
