“It’s an advantage to have arrived in November. We played very good games and then we went down. We have to be more consistent”.
the trident
“The footballer has to understand that, with five changes, a change is not made to seal. There is no longer a starting eleven. This is not like years ago. There is a very wide range”.
Messi
“He has a contract and it’s impossible. It doesn’t make sense to talk about Messi. The president already said that hopefully his story with Barça won’t end.”
Xavi in the negotiations
“I wouldn’t say that it has made a difference. The work of Mateu and Jordi are spectacular in their work. We are a family and we are all one. Being Barça is also a magnet for the players”.
The shadow of Guardiola?
“Not at all. I dream of Bara winning. It happened to me as a player. I dream of Bara winning titles, not me. My ego is satiated for three lives. My football career was insurmountable. I didn’t expect to have a career like that. No I want to beat Pep, Johan or anyone else. I have nurtured myself from them. They are not my enemies, I am their student. I want to return Bara to the top of the world. I dream of Bara winning, not Xavi win”.
How to seduce players?
“I don’t compare projects. I explain things clearly. The model, the city. That’s who I am. If I don’t give 100%, I stay at home. I try to make them enjoy themselves and make them feel important. It’s clear that the Bara helps , it’s clear.”

“We will try to adapt. As for the fans, we are Barcelona. People have a passion for Barça and this is formidable. When you see people get excited about the greatness of Barça… it means that Barça is very big.”
The players want to come to Barça
“That speaks of the greatness of the club at a global and historical level. There is an exciting project. We also speak clearly with the players. It all adds up, but this is Bara. Despite having a not-so-good stage, this is Bara already people are excited to play here. The word this year is illusion. That Lewandowski wants to come here is a success in the history of the club”.
The intensity
“I’m not surprised because we’re working very well. I see a lot of intensity in training. That’s non-negotiable.”

the discarded
“Away, never. They are first team footballers. In fact, they have altered with us before the tour. I was very clear with them in May. They are also looking for solutions. We are trying to help them so that they can play. They know that here It’s going to be impossible. They have to find a solution to play”.
Return of thread to the cruyffismo
“In general, the idea is that, but with nuances. We do different things in strategy, in defense.”
Marquez
“He is a friend and a legend of world football. I predict an extraordinary future for him as a coach. He is a very good friend and we are going to understand each other very well, just as we understood each other on the pitch”.
The heat
“It doesn’t vary too much. We can’t do field work in the morning, but we extend it in the afternoon. We haven’t stopped training because of the heat. We also have individual and group video reinforcement.”

Guardiola
“I talked a lot with him about tactics. After that, it’s easier to adapt to any system. He changed my way of seeing football, of understanding it. It’s not difficult for me to find solutions on the pitch because I’ve had great coaches. I think that thanks to him it should be easier to adapt to what Xavi asks”.
Relationship with Raphinha
