Some of FC Barcelona players expressed their astonishment at Vicente Del Bosque's verbal attack at the Catalans. The Real manager said after his team's defeat by Roma on Wednesday that "the media ought to look at Barça, not at Real, if they wanted to speak about a crisis". "We are surprised by those words", Philip Cocu and Javier Saviola said after Thursday's training session. "Del Bosque is usually a discreet person. We interpret this as a move aiming to unsettle Barça". "However our rivals may say whatever they want about us", Cocu added.
