“The medical services? We are worried. We have to put order and see what the problem is. We will try to make the players stay fit for as long as possible. There are still talks with the President pending, but this problem must be solved.

“We want high pressure, get the ball back on the opposing half, be intense, go on the attack, a team that leaves the soul on the pitch.

“We are talking about many things and one of them is the winter market. We have wingers of a good level, we have to recover the injured players, we have to see what the forecast is with Ansu… I want to play with wide wingers.”

“Dembélé, well prepared, can be the best player in the world in his position, he has the qualities to make a difference at Barça and to become a world star.”
