Francisco Rodríguez (Rayo Vallecano coach) ahead of #RayoBarça: "We respect our rival a lot. They are one of the best in Europe and in the world."

Rodríguez: "We have to do what we have been doing, be brave, and try to take advantage of the moments we have and know how to suffer. Barcelona will make us, at times, play as a low block and we have to defend well."

Rodríguez: "So far, we have competed well. We have faced powerful rivals and tomorrow another one visits us. We want to dedicate a victory to our fans and tomorrow could be a good day."

Rodríguez: "At Barça, they are all top players. Pedri is differential but also Ter Stegen, Araújo... Anyone up there can complicate things for you and we will try to prevent them."

Rodríguez: "Gavi is an important loss not only for Barcelona but for the national team as well because he was one of their best in recent seasons. It will hurt Barcelona, but they have top-level players."

Rodríguez: "If Marc Andre Ter Stegen finally does not play? Barcelona, whoever plays, has a very high level. We have prepared for the game understanding that Ter Stegen will be there. For the spectacle, they like the best to play."

Rodríguez: "I'm worried about these breaks. The situation makes me more uncomfortable to work. Some arrived yesterday and did their first training today. It has also happened to Barça. With a very big blow like the injury to Gavi, whom I send a big hug."

Rodríguez: "We have everyone well. Teams like us don't have such a busy calendar. Having three FIFA dates so far this season is outrageous. It should've been distributed better over time. This has been a mistake, but I can't fix it. We live off of this "We will have to adapt."

Rodríguez: "Barça's last games were 2 wins and a draw? We already know that this isn't enough for us to win tomorrow. We'll have to compete 100%."

Rodríguez: "I never beat Barça with Elche. Xavi is a friend of mine and a very good coach, we have known each other for many years. Let's see if it gives me a victory, which I also need."

Rodríguez: "A few days ago there was a meeting between the First and Second coaches with the referees in the Ciudad del Fútbol of Las Rozas. We were very clear. There is a little lack of communication with the teams."

Rodríguez: "Now they allow you to go to the VAR to see the images during the week. They are for the job. It's OK for them to talk and act naturally. I can't complain. In the end, all the teams will be where they deserve."

Og det er en tidlig kamp, så både eftermiddag og aften kan ødelægges med et snuptag.

Når det så er sagt, håber jeg at Frenkie retur, kommer til at løfte niveauet og at vi vinder overbevisende.

Altså fint det ikke er klar 22, men føler aldrig vi spiller gode kampe kl 14/16. Men okay, det er også efterhånden en lille sample size af gode kampe der er at tage af.

Forhåbentlig kan vi levere en solid indsats!

Lewa og Romeu fra start betyder at vi er 2 mand i undertal.
