About Dani Alves
“It’s hard to comment on such a situation. I think I’m surprised and shocked. I’m in shock. Justice will rule regardless. I feel very bad for him. I’m shocked.”
About Memphis
“Memphis asked him to leave. He had the proposal from Atlético, we spoke and I understood that he was wrong. We all came out winners. Now we have to wait and see what La Liga says on fair play.”
About Carrasco
“We will see at the end of the season if this option will be executed.”
On Araujo and de Jong
“Araujo and De Jong are available, but it’s true that they are coming back from injury. Tomorrow we will decide, but now every game is a war.”
On the transfer window after leaving Memphis
“I didn’t ask for anything. I’ve already said it’s fine. Otherwise, we’ll take players from the subsidiary. I’m delighted with the squad I have. I didn’t ask for anything.”
On Real Madrid
“We don’t compare ourselves to Real Madrid, we do it with ourselves and in the last month we have improved a lot. We don’t have to look at others.”
About Christensen
“Andreas gives me a lot of confidence and security. He solves everything very well. With him you have a sense of tranquility. He does a lot of things well. He is a very good signing. He dares more and fixes the opponents. “
On Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres
“Ansu is decisive for this team, he is and will be. He will be a benchmark for us. Ferran is fine, but he misses the goal and that makes him lose confidence. We have blind faith in him, he will score again goals, his numbers with Barça are not bad at all.”
On winning the Supercup
“Winning against Madrid in the Super Cup gives us confidence. It gave us a title, but there are three left and we want them.”
About Balde
“He has personality and he makes the difference. He comes from La Masia and we work well with the academy players. Balde is quick and strong in 1v1 situations.”
Xavi: “Bald? He has personality and he makes the difference. He comes from La Masia and we work well with the academy players. Balde is quick and strong in 1v1 situations.”
