Luis Enrique did not need long to put to rest many the questions which had been filling Culers’ heads since the team lifted the treble. Although it does seem like a historical feat was achieved a lifetime ago, the truth is that it is in fact little more than a month ago. How time flies, right?
“Barcelona’s objective is to repeat the success of last season. The treble is now in the past, now we are interested in six trophies. Second seasons are usually better. There is the base work and I am convinced that the team can improve in several aspects. The motivation is there to be better than our opponents via continual development, if you stand still you get burned.”
“We don’t know if anymore players can come in or if any will leave. Sandro and Munir form part of the first team squad in every sense. Let’s see if in the end they stay. I am not happy with the performance of the B squad last season. I hoped for more from all of them.”

“I am very happy with the players brought in and I take this opportunity to congratulate the Managing Commission for signing of Arda Turan. The operation was key for us. He is going through the normal process when a player arrives at a new club. He has to find his place with the support of this teammates.”
“Turan knows the league perfectly, he can beat players, it’s difficult to get the ball from him and also he offers us things defensively. He strengthens us and offers competition. The same for Aleix Vidal, he is great signing, and he will make us better.”
“Pedro’s situation is very clear: I don’t want anyone from the squad to leave. I have always highlighted his performances and I hope to maintain our relationship. It is the player who has to decide.”
