The Catalan manager claimed that Barcelona players will get over the defeat against Real Madrid and are ready to take up the challenge of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 at the Camp Nou.
Over the recently concluded weekend, La Blaugrana faced the ignominy of losing against arch-rivals Real Madrid at the Camp Nou, effectively banishing their Spanish crown to the capital club in the process.
Barcelona turn their attention to UEFA Champions League where they take on the challenge of a reinvigorated Chelsea. The Catalan club needs to get a positive result against the English outfit but find themselves on a two-match losing streak.
When quizzed about the situation, Pep Guardiola remarked that he has belief in his players that they will come good when they take on the pitch.
"I have no doubt that the players will be fine," he explained. "If we create the same chances that we did in London, it will be very hard for us not to score again."
However, the 41-year-old tactician did not like questions regarding his tactics against Real Madrid and reacted badly in criticism of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-c9491 Tello in the fixture.
Guardiola was full of praise for the 20-year-old and stated that the youngster was behind most of their chances against Los Blancos.
"If you have to attack me, do not attack Tello," Guardiola said. "You were not nice. Look at the match.”
"He played brilliantly and was behind all our chances.”
"I have heard most of your criticism and all of you unanimously say that I was wrong, but we had a good match and Madrid had few counterattacks, although it is true that we did not have many chances."
The retired Spanish international also took out time to talk about his future at the Camp Nou and revealed that it is not dependent on Champions League final appearance. However, he refused to divulge in to whether he will continue with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 come the
end of season.
"My renewal does not depend on whether or not we reach the final," he insisted. "Now it is not the time to talk about that."
The Champions League fixture between Chelsea and Barcelona at the Camp Nou kicks off at 20 45 CET on April 24.
