Luis Enrique gave a media
conference recently in the company of director of sport, Andoni Zubizarreta,
his first appearance since starting work with his players.
Asked what kind of
team he is putting together, he replied that “I want a team that is faithful to
everything that has won it so much before, a team that scores goals, that
defends well, that has playing resources, that plays the same at home and away.
I don’t just want results but also to win playing nice football”.
He also stated: “We’ll be
using all the resources we can, and one of those is being unpredictable. This
team has been put together to play well and carry the weight of matches. I like
having players that can offer you different playing options and that are able
to surprise opponents”.
There have been plenty of
changes to the Barça squad this summer, including the departure of two of the
captains, but when asked who’ll be leading the team this year, Luis Enrique
replied that “leaders are not imposed, they have to appear, they appear spontaneously
and we’re already starting to see that. I am a born leader myself, and I lead
this team. The challenge is to ensure that this has an impact on the team”.
