FC Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde has said his squad will face Girona this weekend determined to maintain its perfect record.
At the pre-match press conference on Friday, Valverde said he wanted his charges to “extend the winning streak” for as long as possible, Efe news reported.
“Tomorrow’s match is very important to us, and we know that the rival will be extra-motivated. We should be up to a derby match, because there is an emotional part that matters,” he said.
“This match is special for them (Girona) and we have to know how to approach this kind of match,” the coach said. “They are playing at a good level and they were good against Sevilla. I see an optimistic atmosphere there and a will to stay in the top-flight.”
Valverde hinted that Luis Suarez, who was on the bench against Eibar earlier this week, will start on Saturday.
