Messi will match Xavi
” It’s an incredible number of games. The fact that it equals Xavi in the number of matches is surprising. You also have to look at how many titles Leo has, goals … Everything is great with him. ”
Atletico puncture
“I don’t like talking about other teams. We have to look at ourselves. You have to play tomorrow and win. First. Yesterday, for example, they also lacked effectiveness, they had the game to win and that’s what happened to us. It is a very strong team and we have to fight until the end. ”
PSG
” The level of the past few days, with a strong team and in their field, if we are more efficient, is the maximum that can be required. If we analyze this season in which we lost unnecessary points, it was often due to the lack of efficiency that a team like Barcelona should have. For example, when the return, 6-1, did not have as many opportunities as us. ”
Message to staff
“It’s not a message today, it’s the way I’ve worked since the first day I arrived. It’s a period of games, training … and of course we’ve improved physically. See the team with enthusiasm. You can’t do everything in two weeks with a new coach, it’s a moment. The team is happy, but we must continue to work to maintain the level “.
A month and a half ago
“I always said it was a very long season. Atlético’s points in the first half of the year were not normal, they were strong and very effective. After losing to Cádiz, we gained a lot and improved. There is a league until the last day and it will be difficult for Atlético and Real Madrid. We have to go slowly and we’ll see. ”
Dressing room
” You don’t have to laugh at others, start with yourself first and we have to win tomorrow. The team is involved, not because of the results of others, but because of us. Everyone wants to be and is on the field, especially the energy of the games. It’s amazing what the physical team is like if you look at the data. We have improved in the game without the ball and tomorrow is also a difficult game. Huesca is the last, but it is not an easy game. He will come, he will play. He will press and you have to be very mentalized. ”
Future
” This team has a wonderful future, because it has a lot of quality and we have changed things. It is the path we have begun, which is not yet finished. It also depends on the elderly. There is a lot of talk about young people, but we must also highlight the quality, dedication and energy of the elderly such as Leo, Busquets, Alba, Sergi Roberto, Piqué … in general, the team has a great future ”.
They arrive better than Atlético and Real Madrid
” It seems, but we have the experience that it is not easy to continue in this rhythm of games, of quality … it is important to go game with the match. Today the sun is rising, but tomorrow it may rain. You must continue with energy, be humble and continue on this path. You need to focus on one better than the other. All teams have ups and downs, and those with lower minimums win the championship. ”
Rumors about his departure from Barça
“If I have to answer for the names of the players or coaches that a journalist has taken out … it is not necessary. It’s a media issue. You have to fill the pages every day, which is not easy. I have a contract, we have to improve a lot of things and continue ”.

LaLiga title

We can’t fail much more because Atlético is going strong, Real is here … they are thinking about us and the match by match. ”
