Torres: "It's easier to win against Madrid than against Barca"

Torres noted the difficulty that entails winning against a team like Madrid, although he reminded us that in La Liga nothing is impossible: "It's very hard to win against Barca and Madrid, but they have both lost points this season and this gives us a higher motivation", he declared in declarations to Ona FM.

The ex-Barca player admitted that Khedira's expulsion was positive fo rhis team. He also had no problems answering the question: is it harder to beat Barca or Madrid? His response was clear: "Barca is more dangerous and much more complicated than Madrid. Barca always has the ball". Likewise, he indicated that he has received congratulations from his former club.

Torres also spoke about the controversial action in which Pepe pushed him without an intent to get the ball. He explained that the madridista did not offer an apology: "He didn't say he was sorry, not even in the changing room. I was expecting that. We all know what Pepe is like. He's one of the best central defenders in the world, but he does things he should not do."

In that way, the players showed himself disappointed from the declarations of Jose Mourinho, who accused Levantanistas of playing hard and provoking his players: "If you watched the game, you knew that there were more ill timed tackles on their end. Neither Mourinho nor Pepe surprise me. The important thing is that we got the three points and of the rest it's better not to speak about it. We're very happy."

We didn't press them enough. If we are to pressure we need to do it with a highline so there's no space in between the defense and midfield.

Our possession play was poor and Mourinho's mentality probably was 'oh it's only Levante, just do whatever and we should win'.

well put by torres.

Well he's right

Barce's possession game is insanely hard to crack

Way of stating the obvious.

I also feel that minions try harder against us than Barca. It's a possible factor.

That's why scoring the first goal (very soon) is crucial. Once we score our first one, they instantly give up.

Well this will probably the highlight of this guys career anyway. Let him have his 5 minutes of relative fame.

It's the other way around for Valencia.
