Guardiola annoyed by Alexis Sanchez – La Liga News
Barcelona coach, Josep Guardiola, is annoyed by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979 and the call-up he received to link with the national team. Alexis has been injured for over a month and is in the final stages of his recovery.
The player has been asked to train with the national squad before international friendlies. Guardiola was upset about the situation he finds himself and made his opinions heard.
“It is the question for the Chilean coach, why he calls someone and why he does not. I am not called. Del Bosque calls me sometimes, but not Chilean coach, "he said.
Nevertheless, he was happy with the player recovering from the injury and will be available for first team duties.
"Alexis is very happy now, he is at the end of his recovery period and we expect him to be fit soon, we need him.
Barcelona also welcome back central defence pillars, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique. Both players have been declared fit by the medical staff and are in contention to start against Mallorca at Camp Nou.
The two La Masia academy graduates started normal training last week. However, they have recently started rigorous group training in the last few days.
Guardiola was pleased with the news ahead of match against Los Bermellones. The manager is aware of the threat Mallorca will pose on the night, after their heated encounters with Caparros led Athletic Bilbao.
"We have played hard games against Caparros and Athletic Bilbao. In the short time he has been in Mallorca, he knows his players. In some ways it looks like his time in Bilbao,” Guardiola remarked.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 will be expecting a solid defence from the visitors. Mallorca have the players who can shut attacks with poise and the Catalans will have to be wary of their threat.
Guardiola also pointed out the fast paced counter attacks of Mallorca. The club boasts of players like Chori Castro, who are very fast on the counter and have the ability to catch the best of defences napping.
“We expect a good defence, they have strong players and players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chori-Castro-c9003 who are fast on the counter. You always have to tighten the possession of the ball against Caparros’ teams," he said.
