Valverde: "Until the window closes, anything can happen"
The Barcelona manager spoke about Mascherano and Yerry Mina comparisons along with whether he will be signing any news players this transfer window.
Ernesto Spoke at the press conference ahead of his side's clash with Espanyol at the Camp Nou in the Copa del Rey on Thursday night.
Mascherano and Yerry Mina: "Mascherano was here for a very long time, but Yerry Mina hasn't even played a game. He has to help us, but we will see if he is on the list. He has to adapt but we have high expectations for him."
Piqué, the fourth captain: "It is one of the things that the players decide and I don't get involved in. Mascherano is a reference point for everything, on and off the field."
Squad: "Until the window closes, anything can happen but I'm happy with the team I have."
Favourites: "It's a recurring questions. The one they give the favourites tag to doesn't bother me. We are not winning and with a 0-0 draw we will be out. We have the disadvantage moreso than what we had with Celta, but it will be a very good game. I don't think it's harsh. In the return there was tension, but clean and without problems. It would annoy me the same if one team or another knocked us out."
