"Real Sociedad" coach Philippe Montanier hopes to start the Spanish football championship with positive results. However, his players face a serious challenge - an away match against Barcelona.
"I predict that the hosts will dominate the match and try to keep possession of the ball for as long as possible, because their players are of a world-class level," said the specialist.
"Of course, we are not waving the white flag - it's just one game. We will do everything to achieve a positive result. The most important thing is to play well ourselves and take advantage of any opportunities that arise. The task will be made harder by the fact that Tito Vilanova will debut as Barcelona's coach and the players will be highly motivated," Montanier said.
