Luis Enrique: The day we win in San Sebastian is getting closer

The coach joked about Barcelona's tough times there and said that he was out to change the dynamic

Luis Enrique is aiming to change Barcelona's luck against Real Sociedad at Anoeta, in San Sebastian, saying "the day we win at San Sebastian is getting closer".

“Against Real [Sociedad] we have had games in which they have been the better side, we want to change that image," he explained in his press conference. 

“We always go into matches with the objective of winning, be better than our opponents and create more over 90 minutes, regardless of whether there is a second leg.

“They are dangerous if you let them play, they get into the box, they have finishers and they can counter well. Eusebio is doing a great job and they are going to make it difficult for us. 

“[It is] a great challenge, one that measures up to a Copa del Rey quarter-final. Winning will be a great step forward for the second leg, but not definitive. It will a very close tie.”

The coach added: "In San Sebastian I've been through everything, but I prefer not to comment on the past and focus on the football element, but what's clear is that the day we win at San Sebastian is getting closer. Maybe 20 years will go by, but it's getting closer that's for sure."
