Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde is confident the fight for the championship is not over. After today's draw with Getafe "Los clues" have a seven-point lead over Atletico Madrid. "We have to sweat tight and push for the title," said Barca's coach after the Camp Nou meeting.
"Getafe is an inconvenient rival. We lack freshness and depth of action. We were not precise about the lost balls. In the second half, we tried to score in any way but we lacked the correctness, "he said. "Dembele had to act one against one where his strength was. Today he was less fortunate. (...) Mina and Din are the positive news. They did pretty well. In the course of the game they played better, "the specialist revealed.
Asked about Chelsea's next nine-day clash, Valverde said: "I started thinking about Chelsea after the draw. I watch them, but I can not focus on them for the other games. First, we'll think of Ebar, then Chelsea. "
