Deco backs Hilario
|
Barcelona ace Deco is backing his Portuguese countryman Hilario to not let Chelsea down tonight at Stamford Bridge.
The former Porto keeper is little known in England after arriving from Nacional in the summer.
"We played together in Oporto and, if he plays, he will not feel the pressure too much because he has already played against Barca," Deco told El Mundo Deportivo.
"He is a good keeper - a veteran with experience."
Deco feels that the absence of both Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini is cancelled out by the injury to Samuel Eto'o.
"We lose as much without Eto'o as Chelsea do without Cech," he opined.
"Samuel contributes a lot as far as goals and pressure in attack is concerned, although [Eidur] Gudjohnsen is doing it very well."
