Almeria's Ramazani hails Busquets ahead of Barca clash

Belgian winger Largie Ramazani, who plays for Almeria, said on Friday that in next Sunday's match against Barcelona at the Power Horse Stadium, if he had the chance to choose a player not to play, he would choose Sergio Busquets because, although "at Barça there are many very good (players), Busquets is 'top', he plays very well and it is very difficult to defend against him".

Despite the differences in the standings and Barcelona's record, the Almeria winger said that he believes in springing a surprise on Sunday because they can "win against any team" and they are "ready for this game, will go out and try to win it", although "we have to be very clever" because "they are very intelligent and know when to attack and defend: we are going to try to score quickly and defend", he pointed out.

He considered that they have to "be patient and see how they play" and pointed out that the way to surprise Xavi Hernández's team could be "on the counter-attack", as "they have a very difficult defence" and we have to "try to catch them and score", as well as "have personality and be there face to face with them".

He recalled the one-on-one against Marc André Ter Stegen at the Camp Nou and said if he gets the chance again he will know what to do because he is clear that "the goals will come, it's not an obsession" and he said he expects a motivated opponent despite Barca having lost to his former team, Manchester United, in the Europa League play-offs.

"I think Barça will come here with a lot of enthusiasm and will try to win because they lost yesterday and I think they will come here strong," said Ramazani, who added that they have already forgotten the 6-2 drubbing against Girona and that now "it's Barça (we're facing and we'll try) to win in front of the fans to make them happy".
