Mendilibar: Yamal is really different, Pedri makes Xavi Iniesta forgotten

Olympiacos head coach Jose Luis Mendilibar believes the only way to beat Barcelona is to play to their best.

Mendilibar made it clear: "I will not change the way I play. If there is a change, it will be because Barcelona forces us to change, not because I actively choose to do so. This is our style of play and we will stick to it."

"Barcelona has not changed their way of playing. The inability to repeat the same lineup at a certain point could cause them to lose some chemistry and automation."

" Yamal is still young and has only played at a high level for two years. What he does is almost impossible to replicate, but he does make a difference if Yamal doesn't perform well. , Barcelona will also be affected. We'll do our best to defend him. "

"Araujo came on and scored a goal the other day. To win, you have to be perfect. If Pedri doesn't touch the ball and De Jong does...or if Pedri doesn't touch the ball and Rashford does...they are both very good players. Pedri was so good that Barcelona fans almost forgot about Xavi and Iniesta. He's the best with the ball, the best with the ball... everything. "

He showed a deep understanding of FC Barcelona and believed that they are the favorites to win the Champions League, just like "your neighbors Bayern and the clubs in England."

Flick was sent off in Barcelona's recent league game, and Mendilibar understood this. "I have been calmer recently, but I have also had the experience of being sent off. Whether I will be sent off depends on many factors, such as what you say, how you say it, how the referee interprets it... I believe he will not be sent off tomorrow."
