Jordi Cruyff: "It's the group of death, to put you to the test with the best"

"We will be in a position to compete face to face against Bayern"

MADRID, 25 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The sports adviser of FC Barcelona Jordi Cruyff did not hesitate to describe the company of Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Viktoria Plzen as a "group of death" in the initial phase of the Champions League, after the draw held this Thursday in Istanbul .

"It is the group of death, a difficult group, strong, important teams. It will be nice for the fans and for the players, to suffer, enjoy and test yourself with the best," he told Movistar Plus, collected by Europa Press .

Cruyff explained that the culé team has been strengthened and must compete better than in recent years, especially with Bayern. "It's the super positive part (Lewandowski at Barça). It will be super special for him and for us too. We've had a run of three, four complicated games against them," he said.

"We have strengthened ourselves a lot, we are a quite different team from the last few seasons. We will be ready to compete head-to-head against Bayern. Inter is an Italian team, which has brought Lukaku back, it has been strengthened. It will be another nice game but difficult," he said.

In addition, Cruyff pointed out not to forget Viktoria Plzen, a different team to which they will have to adapt. "We must not lose sight of the fourth, they play a different type of football and you have to adapt and get the points. There are three teams that are obvious but you have to see," he added about Group C.

On the other hand, the Barça representative briefly referred to the transfer market, without giving details about the situation of Umtiti or Aubameyang. "We will work the last week. We have managed to strengthen the two areas quite well. I don't know if we will do everything we want this market, but the team is already in an important position to compete," he concluded.
