Elche boss Sarabia hails Barcelona star before La Liga clash: ‘I love him’ | OneFootball

Elche head coach Eder Sarabia has this week moved to reveal his appreciation for the talents of Barcelona star Marcus Rashford.

This comes as Elche prepare to lock horns with the Englishman and his Blaugrana teammates.

Frontman Rashford has of course spent recent weeks establishing himself as one of Spanish football’s standout performers.

After something of a shaky start following his summer arrival from Manchester United, the 28-year-old has since exploded into life.

Rashford, last weekend, became the first member of Hansi Flick’s Barcelona squad to hit double digits for goal contributions this season.

Speaking to the media in his pre-match press conference, the name of the talented attacker was therefore put to the aforementioned Eder Sarabia.

And Elche’s headmaster, who spent time honing his craft as an assistant at Barcelona, was not shy in revealing his admiration for the Blaugrana’s in-form wide-man:

“I love Rashford, he drove me crazy in England!”
