Barcelona's players have had tremendous problems to adapt to the desperate play ground in Valladolid, and he expects the same challenge on the next visit to Primera, even against a far stronger rival like Real Sociedad.

The Basque club has renovated the Anenoa stadium, which makes it the first three in a row and the first home game on September 15 against the champion Barcelona. And the Catalans have already begun to complain, after photos appeared to which the grass has not yet been set. In addition, it was reported that the subfloor from the Netherlands will arrive on September 2, after which it will begin to take place at the stadium.

"The whole process is expected to be completed on September 6, just nine days before Barcelona. The usual shortest time for full adaptation of such grass to the ground is 15 days, so it is clear that Barca will again have similar problems as in Valladolid, "the Catalan media say.
