Valencia coach Unai Emery has given his thoughts on their crucial clash against Barcelona on Saturday night, and he has told his side to focus on their own talents rather than fear those of the opposition.

"First, we will try to play ourselves and make them concerned about our desire to have the ball," Emery is quoted as saying by Goal.com Spain.

"From there, we will have their players' attention. All of them are dangerous in their own right. They have also scored many goals from set pieces.

"We must close them down and make the game uncomfortable for them. We must use our skills and our own resources.

"You have to give Barcelona a lot of respect, but not fear. We are capable of playing a great game with the help of the fans. We will try to win this game.

"[Lionel] Messi is troublesome, because he is possibly the best player in the world and plays for the best team in the world."

Emery also had a few words for Diego Maradona following his explicit outburst after Argentina's final World Cup qualifier, telling 'El Diez' that he must be more respectful.

"I've had to bite my tongue many times, but you always have to have respect. He will have his reasons for expressing himself like that and not keeping quiet," the Valencia coach concluded.
