"It won't be easy" : Marquez

"It wont be easy" : Marquez

Rafael Marquez has returned from injury for the champions league clash against FC Schalke 04, and reckons that Schalke won't be easy to play with.

The FC Barcelona defender has been sidelined with injury for a while and has returned when the team needs him most.

Excerpts from the press conference,

"They're most dangerous in the air"

Rafa thinks that the strength of the German side lies in their aerial ability. He described the Schalke side as ordered, physically strong with really strong strikers.

He pointed out that the main aerial game the Germans play is their key strength.“They’re most dangerous in the air. They play really well together as a team and one of their strikers is a German international.”

“I’m ready to do whatever the boss tells me to.”

He had been declared fit by the club doctors this Sunday after being sidelined with injury for more than a month.

The Mexican said that he has some pain and it will take sometime to go away. But he promised that he will be available to play in whatever position Rijkaard asks him to play.
