For the first game in the preseason, first half was intense football. No joke.
Yes, this was pure fun to watch. Players knew that they will just play one half so they didn't have to conserve their energy though.
Valverde on our pressing yesterday: It’s something we have to manage throughout the season. To be honest, [we have] not worked on it a lot because we've not had a lot of time. The idea of pressing or not pressing depends on our strength in that moment, above all if we can do it together because everyone has to compromise to do it and it’s something we will be training for.
