Barcellona ready for Deportivo, Toure said

Spanish leaders Barcelona are prepared for another battle when they receive Deportivo Coruna at the Nou Camp on Saturday, Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure said.

“The team are having to work harder in games because our rivals are playing more defensively. Also, games are now more physical than technical and some teams are committing a lot of fouls against us,” he said.

Depor have lost their last three games in all competitions and were knocked out of the King’s Cup by Sevilla on Wednesday. Barcelona are looking for the eight win in a row.
