About the German goalkeeper's words, he stated, with a very straight face that it was "necessary to talk about some things", he didn't want to speak too much: "When the game finished, we were all a little cold. It was five minutes of hard work and the same thing would have happened at Eibar if we were 0-1 down. Matches are seen in many ways, but if we have to solve something, we do it inside, not outside".
Speaking of proper names he made it clear that he doesn't care that Griezmann 'escaped' to New York on a free day to watch an NBA game, although he revealed that he "didn't know" about the trip. In addition, he also explained that he sees it "difficult" for Umtiti to play and talked about Carles Perez and Ansu Fati: "They are in the dynamics of the first team and that is the idea in principle ... although they also have a part in the youth team and can play with them".
One expected question was if the postponement of the 'Clasico' would damage Barca more than Real Madrid: "I don't think so. We are going to play when it's our turn and we have to turn the page on this subject."
Regarding the game against Valladolid, Valverde revealed that it's possible that some changes will take place and also highlighted his opponent's form: "They have a good streak. Against the teams above them, they have obtained good results. Taking into account last year's complicated match, we have many hopes of facing this match to the full".
