TVC E. Athletic suffered a surprise opening weekend loss to Sporting Gijon and Laporte expects the going to be tough against Barcelona, despite Neymar being absent once again as he prepares for Brazil’s World Cup qualifiers early next month.
Laporte says “I’m very happy, I’ve said a lot of times and I’m still here.
“I think the fans are very happy with my decision and I’m happy with them all too.”
“Barca is a tough opponent to beat, they have achieved many trophies and have finished first many times”.
“They are a rival to be reckoned with, but we must try to win that game like any other.
“This team has very good players still [without Neymar]. All their players have a very high level.
“We have to fight for every moment of the match to try to get something in this game.”
