"It's what I had to do."The manager also dismissed the idea that the Copa del Rey means less than other trophies."I know what the cup means," he added."It seems that when you win it many times (in a row), you don't value it. It seems that maxbet way until you lose, then you value it."Last year, we paid the price for the effort we made to continue in the cup. This year, we're rotating more because I think it's for the best."When you make changes, you take risks. If you win, you've got it maxbet right. But if you don't... We have an important game on Sunday now (at Girona), which we want to win."It will be tough because Girona are a good side.
