Dani Alves: "Without him play differently: they have evolved and grown a lot as a whole"
The staff of Barcelona believes that Manchester United are much stronger now than two seasons ago when they beat Barca in the final in Rome. The sense of dress is unanimous: "No Christian is better."
Guardiola has already raised in the press conference last week when asked by Sir Alex Ferguson. Barca coach hinted the march of Christian to defend the quality of Scot. "Transfers to Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the best players in the world, and have continued winning. They regained their league and reached another Champions League final. That speaks to how good they are," he argued Pep.
One of the lighter players usually talk about is Dani Alves, who is not cut by recognizing the differences in the same team when playing Christian and when it does. "Without him play different. Have evolved and grown a lot as a whole. Also will have to be very careful, "said the Brazilian, who missed the last final to be punished.
One that matches the side is Pedro Rodriguez: "Since the Christian has been been greatly strengthened. It is a more compact equipment. As a group, Manchester United is far better than before."
It's the same thinking that gives Villa. The Guaje, which this year has come to Camp Nou therefore has no reference in the first person in the Rome final, highlights the potential of the English side: "Now, United is a team better trained and more fact.
It is more equipment than the United two seasons ago.
"
More equipment
One of the players who refer to this point is Xavi Hernandez, who has been asked by CR7 on more than one occasion: "It is the individual footballer I've seen in my life, but not meant as a criticism. Can solve party alone. It costs combined, it costs baste the game, but is a player of a brutal level. I do not know if he is compared to Messi, he does not know, but he does not have to be compared with anybody. "
However, there are some players who feel that, whether individual or not is an advantage to play with Cristiano Ronaldo. One of them is Andres Iniesta, unlikely to engage in polemics: "Having Cristiano Ronaldo is always better but now is at Real Madrid. Anyway, Manchester United has been strengthened and is now a great team. "
One of the Barcelona players over Gerard Piqué is known because he shared a dressing room with him in Manchester before joining the Catalan club. Defender has been asked on occasion by the Luso and has always praised. "They say he is arrogant, but I remember him as friendly and fun. Yes, it is difficult to resist the mirror, but it's a good guy," he explains.
