Fermin not worried about Barca's Copa del Rey semi-final opponents

Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez said he tries to help the team ‘"when the coach sees fit", after his goal in the Copa del Rey quarter-final against Valencia in which his side won 5-0.

"It's what I have to do," said Fermin about his contribution to the team after his start. He was also a starter in the league match that ended 7-1 in which he scored two goals and provided two assists.

The player from Huelva emphasised that they started the game very well and also controlled it in the same way. "It was important to win. We are Barca, we have to compete in all competitions and we are on the way," he said.

Fermin also confessed that the Azulgrana coach, Hansi Flick, is "very demanding" and that "everyone" is demanding in reference to not stopping looking for goals.

Finally, on whether they would like a "Clasico" against Real Madrid in the semi-finals, the Barcelona player said: "Any team we play will be difficult and we'll see in the draw. Right now, we're thinking about Sevilla".
